But being competitive requires more than balance in our foreign trade; it requires an improving standard of living. The long-term U.S. competitive problem is largely caused by low saving rates, high costs of capital, and the resulting inadequtelevel of both visible and invisible investment. s lonhg as the U.S. national saving rate remains far below that of all our major competitor nations, there is little chance for restorinig America's international economic position.
