We just had 4 years of running it like a business. They looted it and gutted it and walked away. Standard American business model.

If we really ran the country like a company, the five lowest producing states would be sold off every year. Bye-bye Kentucky!

No, we should run a country like the large, complicated, multifaceted social organization that it is. Trying to scale up a loving, functional family to govern 325+m people is pure sentimentality and a recipe for injustice ona massive scale.

On a budget!

Our government is 100% funded by taxes. So yes run it like a business. 🤦‍♀️
