No matter how you argue it. government is not a business. For one thing, a business hires, fires; it doesn’t have the old, sick, disabled, and children on its payroll, with no way to get rid of the drag on the profits. hell, the purpose of government *isn’t* to make a profit, any more than the purpose of a religions’ is (although with some, it’s hard to tell.
Government and business can swap ideas and systems. But they are *not* the same thing.
Then we must agree to disagree.
The ONLY purpose of Government is to do no harm.
Each dollar of Debt does harm to its taxpayers.
The result of unchecked, (pun intended), spending is that the US Federal Government is now Public Enemy Number One to the US taxpayer.
The US Federal Government is trying to Nationalize the Medical and Insurance businesses which account for 1/6 th of the businesses of the USA, on a dollar basis.
The US Federal Government is now without checks and balances, in a financial death spiral, and is the largest and most powerful business that the world has ever known.
The US Federal Government for the last 80 years has been based on the premise: FROM EACH ACCORDING TO HIS ABILITY, TO EACH ACCORDING TO HIS NEED. The Debtocrats call it “re-distribution of wealth.”
Since MY needs will always be greater than YOUR needs, the US Federal Government will continue to do maximum allowable harm to its taxpayers, and gobble up all businesses to feed its insatiable appetite.
As I said before, we must agree to disagree, because the gradient of the last 80 years has become asymptotic towards absolute control of all US businesses.
