Politicians often advocate increased overall economic productivity while ignoring its drawbacks  For example, attempting to increase the productivity of a corporation means attempting to increase its profitability, which typically leads to a reduction in the number of workers employed by that corporation
Thus, attempting to increase productivity in the economy as a whole may benefit business owners, but will increase the number of unemployed workers
unfairly criticizes politicians in general on the basis of the actions of a few who are unwilling to consider the drawbacks of attempting to increase productivity
