<<<Cost cutting happens all the time when a business's addressable market, for whatever reason, shrinks. It's not a growth tool, it's a survival tool for a business which (for whatever reason) has an expense level above current requirements.>>>

It is a business tool that every business has to use but you can't start a business, grow a business, or stay competitve in the business world using one tool exclusively.

Your examples of Lucent and the Post office are great examples. They are situations where the organizaton is dying and cost cutting will help them stay alive a little longer.

The United States is not in that situation. We are still growing and we are competitive. We can't act like we are dying.
