Here's the playbook the nation's CFOs have been using over the past several years:

1. Fire everyone who knows what they're doing. They are too expensive.
2. Replace them with employees who don't know what they're doing, at no more than half the cost. This translates into huge savings and more profits.
3. Disregard all customer complaints about quality, because customers will always buy from the cheapest supplier, regardless of how bad their quality is.


(And we're wondering why the economy remains in such bad shape?)
