Re: Re: Cool.
Of course governments can't be run like a business. Governments can do all kinds of swell things with money that would have businesses thrown so far back into jail you'd have to pump air in to them.
I think when someone says "run government like a business," they mean run it as though the laws of economics actually apply, and not as though wealth appears out of nothing in some fiscal variation of "continuous creation."
Your point on "executive positions" is a valid one. Boxer is only a Senator, not an executive, and has only a small role in the economy circling the drain.
