ahh, the point is that productivity increases are a figment of some economists equations, not reality. more people working for slightly more gdp isn't an increase.

This is voodoo but it does enable the free ride: Message 10721169 SAN DIEGO, July 29, 1999 - SilkRoad, Inc., an innovative optical networking technology company, today announced the introduction of its PathFinder 2000™ optical transceiver product line for CATV/Telco service providers using existing and future fiber and Hybrid Fiber Coax (HFC) networks. The SilkRoad PathFinder 2000 product line is the industry's first and only solution designed to simultaneously transport multiple digital and analog, video, data, or voice signals, bi-directionally, on the same wavelength. This product line will provide significant capability for companies seeking to aggregate multiple broadband services, including telephone, Internet, and CATV transmissions on a single transmission line. The entry-level product in the PathFinder 2000 product line is the PathFinder 2200™ optical transceiver, providing up to 4 separate frequency bands of information on a single-wavelength. The PathFinder 2400™ provides up to 8 frequency bands of information, and the PathFinder 2600™ provides up to 16 frequency bands of information. Each frequency band on the optical spectrum is capable of transporting and receiving either up to 1.5 GHz of RF signal, a standard or non-standard digital electrical spectrum of up to 650 MHz, or a SONET OC-3 or OC-12 signal. This gives the CATV network architect maximum flexibility as well as scalability to designs systems for today that will have the capacity to support new voice, video and data services as they come on stream in the future.

(...The Democrats have one item on their agenda. It is to make sure the rich don't get any more even if that means the poor get less. How noble. The last thing they would ever admit is that making rich people richer helps the lower end more than any other action...) I suspect that this is more a specific means, than an end. The vast majority of Democratic politicians realize that if their well-being were to depend on the perceived economic value of their services in an unhampered private sector, the results would be less than satisfactory. Thus self interest dictates that they instead choose to compete in a political market, rather than an economic one. Instead of having to create something of honest value to exchange with someone else, they can attempt to control bits and pieces of the force that is government to their own advantage. Since this would appear unattractive to even the fully indoctrinated portion of the electorate, political survival requires that attention be focused elsewhere. This is accomplished by the method of 'divide and conquer', where political calculation uses the human characteristics of envy, greed and fear to set one group against another. Rich and poor is just one axis. The only thing that might damage this highly successful strategy is that the electorate might somehow start perceiving themselves as individuals, rather than as members of the page one victimized group of the day. The Democrats have no monopoly on this procedure, but they have lowered the standard of being able to discard reality, truth and conscience to new depths. Regards, Don
