This notion pops up periodically.
There is, in fact, at least one current candidate in Arizona who promises, if elected, to "run government like a business."
(Of course he's a Republican.)
And I wonder, as one does, what sort of business?
Like a Trump business, for example?
A business that lies and steals and cheats on its taxes? A business that discriminates against people of color?
A business that hires thieves, liars, fools, racists, sexists, homophobes, and outright imbeciles?
A business that can only turn a profit by money laundering for foreign criminals?
A business that is a world wide laughing stock?
A business that goes bankrupt and leaves working people holding the bag?
That sort of business?
That sort of government?
Because that's what we have right now.
And if you really, truly want more of that shit, then by all means vote for the "run government like a business" guy.
