Quote from Tsing Tao:

I don't see how they could accurately factor in the dead boomers either, so I agree with you there.

edit: regarding your edit, are you referring to the gaining of share?

By productivity gains I'm thinking of the increase of GDP, and thus revenue, that can come without the addition of headcount and its attendant liabilities.

I find it hard to see how you could not credit government spending when government spending is driving a good portion of the growth in GDP.

I'm not saying that it doesn't increase GDP, I'm saying that productivity growth can increase GDP.
