I don't think that the country ought to be profit-driven, so no, it shouldn't be run like a business. The government, in fact, is there to operate the least profitable services for the common welfare. If it was a for profit business, we'd sell off all the federal lands, stop public education, drop the interstate highway system...the list goes on.
There things about the government that you could liken to a non-profit business, I suppose, but I'm not really sure what all that gets you. Probably better to just think in terms of trying to establish a well run government. Judah On Fri, Oct 19, 2012 at 4:31 PM, Scott Raley <[email protected]> wrote: > > It isn't?
