dispute the framing of the characterization If you view Gov as providing the service of enabling commerce, gdp/quality of life/public health/etc. as profit & taxes, etc. as costs, then their framing how the government should be ran is more supportive of a very liberal policy.

Government should be efficient and lean but never cruel and non caring towards its citizens.

Ronald "The Original Liar in Chief", Reagan started that lie.

If you look inside the way most businesses are run, I wouldn't want government to run like a business anyway.

I hold government to a higher standard.

But what a coup privatization would be for the monied. What happens when they de-fund the middle class?

If only there was an example in history of this. Maybe where the president ran on a platform where he would treat the country like a business. Maybe it could have even happened nearly 100 years ago, and with a president named Hoover. Maybe it could have lead to a depression only ended by a Democrat.

I See your, Gov as Company?
And Raise you:

Biz People as POTUS HAS ALWAYS BEEN a flagrantly rancid idea because CEO’s ONLY OCASSIONALLY answer to Stockholders.

Otherwise? CEO’s are, functionally, DICTATORS*

numbers don’t lie and you can’t have conflicting data between 2 official govmnt. websites.

i’ve been following this spending tracker for years. the numbers should be rolling in real time as the 💴 is spent. in march this suddenly stopped.

what’s going on?
