Do you understand how this works, at all? Please do not stray away from the points here. Yes I do understand how it works, and as an architect of much of the productivity gains that these silly white house people are using as an EXCUSE for job loss I don't appreciate the mischaracterization of what is going on. Please don't stray from the points here. Do you understand? Productivity gains stopped working their magic in about 98. Since that time, what you are witnessing in productivity numbers is actually the result of offshoring the labor intensive workers. When you offshore a team of 50 leaving only 2 US managers, unless the offshore team are actually employees (most of the time they are not) - then the "productivity" shows up under the manager, somebody like me... in the US. This has nothing to do with supply chain software or productivity software. And if your Harvard friends aren't able to figure this out I suggest they visit Stanford where this is well understood. Or you can just ask me, I was an architect on the Dell supply chain. The ultimate productivity benchmark for technlogy. Or, they can just read Stephen Roach. <<That is not Clinton's nor Bush's fault, but it has moved employers to continue to push for additional productivity through investing in new equipment. >> What a bunch of claptrap.
