Running the countey "like a business" is the most asinine shit in the world. A business exists to extract profit from customers. The citizens are the customers! Why would we want to extract a profit from ourselves? Where is that money going? The whole idea falls apart under any sort of inspection.

I can't wait to see them outsource the white house to India because it'll be cheaper. The profits will be up up up for their "earnings" calls that they have in the oval office smoking cigars talking about golf.
