I'm glad you asked that question because I did not address that in my opening comments. Why I brought up protectionism and CIT was this. The dark and dirty secret about private firms is that they must be forced to compete. Because we have protectionism, pro OECD--I have a quote from OECD saying that we're one of the most protected economies in the west. We've embedded protectionism, which allows our corporations not to compete as aggressively. If we opened up our borders and made them more competitive and forced them to compete, that would drive up our productivity.
