Well, you're right, I didn't understand what you were talking about. Apparently I wasn't alone, though, so it might not be due entirely my lack of facility with English.

What confused me was that while you appear to be primarily concerned about macroeconomic issues (which I worry about, too), this thread is about ORCL (and occasionally about other related software companies), and I fail to see how these companies are responsible for our trade policies. If a company sells software that lets XYX Corp. do the same work with fewer employees, on a micro level that is productivity growth. This might not help the balance of trade, but it does indicate that there is some value in the software.
