If I were a conservative, I would slash middle managment, shift production overseas, reduce operation and materials costs at the expense of product quality, divert some R&D funds into celebrity-endorsement advertising to dupe customers into believing the company has a leading-edge product, and then go public.
If I were a liberal, I would be in an industry where I would only have to wait for the government grant cheques to come in.
