You can argue till everyone's blue in the face over the details (Health Ins, Credit Cards, etc) and never touch the real issue. The reason that Corporate America is doing this is because they are driven to maximize thier "personnel investment" and want a non-human way of verifing the value of a "unit" of investment. The value, or potential value, of an INDIVIDUAL to a company is a function of that individual. Not, thier SAT, FICO, IQ or any other score. As far as money goes, Where does anyone think it comes from? Its the increasing spending of the bottom 3 quintiles that supports the "consumer driven" economy. Its cell phones, ringtones, health ins. cable tv, groceries, gas and the thousands of other products that are sold to provide profit opportunity to the thousands of corporations that are not hiring people because of thier inability to spend increasing $$$ without getting in trouble. And, yes, MBA's are going the way of the DoDo. As is anything else that costs the corporations $$$....like people.
