40. We raised our productivity to the highest in the world.
Edited on Tue Mar-02-04 11:08 AM by mac2
When we invent new ways to produce products cheaper, etc., companies such as Motorola and GE give them our technology. How fast can we go to keep up with what is being sold off?

GE just gave the Chinese our technology so they can build two new plants and manufacture the turbines in China. See the Wall Street Journal about this. This is not a new story. It is happening everyday, with companies closing and taking their secrets and technology out of the country.

My husband is a Automation Computer Engineer. He is in the business of making products faster, cheaper, etc. American engineers, computer experts, business managers, sales people, etc. have succeeded in making us very productive. Even this type of service is being sent off shore. No...it isn't better.

They sell us off pretty cheaply too. Only the CEO and salesman make a short term profit. The corporation's shareholders,employees, engineers, managers, etc., that built the company making it a success, don't see any returns. Fact is, they get laid off.

This is fraud and CEOs should go to jail for their self interests. It is theft.

Every Congress person should be upset about this. Seems, only a few try to stop it. Kucinich is one.

What you suggestion has already been done. We've done our part...the government and CEOs have not.
