If the President/CEO could fire every single executive who disagreed with him and replace them with people who supported his vision for the country/company, governance would actually be pretty easy.
Yes but thats is NOT the question. Nor is it the reality.
Neither is expecting a country to act like a company. There is no such thing as monetary policy within a company.
:wassat1: yes... there IS. Not sure where you have been working but EVERY corporation has a policy regarding expenditures, ROI and
That is only a piece of it. They have no control over taxation, the currency, or inflation (not total control, but much more input than a company has) while a country does.
You are not keeping with the concept of this thread.
Thus you are banished to the planet of Gallifey that is in a timelock. Im sorry.

..... and run by Two sides that act like Republicans and the other like Democrats... and this includes ALL the spin doctors....
When you put that company up with others, such as what you see in the Forbes Top 500, what do you feel would happen?
I personally see not the good of the Company but 90% of the time, for the good of ONE side of Top Management over the OTHER side of Top Management. And as this goes on I see the company that lies and screws its employees. I also see a company that can not compete against other companies. I can see BOTH sides of Top Management ETERNALLY trying to blame and destroy the OTHER side of Top Management, while the good of the WHOLE company becomes ripped apart in a power struggle. And as this happens... the whole company becomes disfunctional. Its doesnt FOCUS on sales. Doesnt FOCUS on working together to get the job done.
I see a company that will NOT last and should not last.
While other companies internally work for success in a professional manner..... they compromise and listen to ALL departments to achive a common goal...
That isn't monetary policy, that's fiscal policy.
Fine God damnit! This is a WHAT IF... senario! Im NOT saying that the Country IS a company or is run like a company. BUT... WHAT IF IT WAS!? I thought this thread would be fairly easy to understand but Im wrong.
Yeeesh... :?
Umm OK. If the United States was a company, it probably wouldn't be a very good one. Just like if Exxon was a nation, it probably wouldn't be a very good one. If the Democratic Party were a family, it would be a dysfunctional one. And if a Freedom House report was a comic book, it probably wouldn't be a very entertaining one.
What's your point?
My point is if the people that ran a corporation acted like the leaders of this Nation (unprofessional and self serving) then the company wouldnt last very long. And thats what Im seeing now in this country! The way these politicians act is horrible! Especially the Conservatives! Thier main goal is to make Obama a 1 Term President? REALLY? Geeeee... I thought it was to freakin serve Americans by making thier lives better. By making jobs. By creating a strong economy. By following the Constitution..... NOT expending a HUGE amount of money and influence getting the President fired!
THis Country NEEDS to act like more like a corporation if it wants to survive. It needs to balance the books. Work TOGETHER to get things done for the greater good of our Nation. Not this Child-like Partisan BS.

Then our political culture needs to change or we need to legislate around the problem. In particular, promote republicanism or reform our bicameral legislature into something resembling a parliament.
It's worth noting that ultimately politicians are responsive to the people, and that the American people bear the lord's share of the responsibility for the state of our society. If a politician tried to be efficient, honest, and virtuous, they would be punished at the ballot box. The politicians who are most rewarded are the ones who (1) give more services, (2) impose fewer taxes, and (3) successfully convince people that the resulting problems are the fault of other politicians.
I disagree with your statement that the american people, the common Joe has any blame to the current situation the USA finds itself in today. We are given a fictional dream called democracy.(beats all others hands down i will give you that in theory only) We are given a red puppet or a blue puppet. when the red puppet screws us over we all turn to the blue puppet. The red puppet waits in the wings until the blue puppet screws us over and then we get the red puppet back... Its a game where the people at the top the people who are giving millions of dollars to make sure things dont change. Mean while Common Joe is getting poorer and poorer the rich are getting richer and then theres a breaking point. Let them eat cake! Another thing that bothers me about this post. The american tax payer didnt take american jobs and sell them to China or Mexico. That was done in the name of business to increase profits by a suit with a wall street degree. I have a friend working with CASE tractor. Case closed a factory in ND to reopen it in Mexico. My friend an engineer had to go to mexico to train a mexican how to do his job. At five dollars a day how many tractors are the mexicans going to buy at 175k each? You take away american jobs you loose american homes.. american lively hood.
