No we should not run this country like a business, we should run it like a loving and functional family.

I'd settle for a democracy.
Yes. And let the Govt print notes as required. Good suggestion. Loving, functional and bankrupt family.

I agree. Why business as the model? America should be run an art gallery or a museum of natural history. Free entry with a slight charge for the special exhibits and the cafe. Imagine: “I’m not a politician. I’m a curator in the real world managing artifacts.”
But I don't *want* to be angel food!

Oh sorry Marianne. For a second I confused you with a top boss over at the Nation Magazine..

Even families have to perform tough love on family members that are dysfunctional and a drain on the rest if the family.

If the leadership is quality, that is exactly what a great business is like.

How about running the government like a government? It is not a family.

But banks are businesses, and banks run the country and international monetary policy, so what’s your point?

Impossible.
