 The CSIS Technology and Public Policy program just wrapped up a discussion with Michael Dell and Samuel Palmisano, the CEOs of Dell and IBM respectively. Dr. John Hamry moderated a discussion about how innovative practices from the IT sector can help the United States become more competitive. People can go anywhere in the world, they can. People can go to any city in the world, businesses can go anywhere in the world, workflows anywhere in the world and so does capital. So the question is why would they come here? That's the question. You're not spending enough. Why would they come here? Why would you come and invest in the United States of America when you can advance elsewhere instead of giving 30% to the government 10? Why would you invest here when you can instead of competing for 100,000 graduates in math and science you can compete for 600,000 in that same equivalent country? Collective experience in our industry is that if you stand in the way of the enormous improvements in technology that continue to come, you do it at your own peril and you just lose relevance and you fall behind. And so there have been enormous advances in our industry and this is where if you sort of add up what are the basic opportunities that are pretty easily accessible, that's your trillion dollars. John, what I would say is that I just think things can't go unchallenged and the reason I say they can't go unchallenged is we are in a very difficult situation. If it was normal times and life was moving on and things were great, you'd say fine, it's the states, right? Like a business as usual. But we're not in that kind of a set of circumstances. We are at great risk of productivity. We have a financial debt structure that if it wasn't the government, it was non-sustainable. None of us could run those levels of debts and keep our jobs. Only in a political environment can that be the case. So to sit there and not ask ourselves honest detailed factual questions about solving the problem, I think it's not appropriate for any organization.
