So you think the government should become more like a business; that if they would just get it, and realize that we need to establish a euro style welfare system and just be more efficient and pay a less percentage than the silly euros do, if we can just get a good manager in there.
Well, that’s your point of view. Ok.
The problem with all these different models of government is that the constitution is ignored.
The constitution is what the president swears an oath to and it is the only and main point of his job.
If people want to make the government into an accepted big business model, they’ll be frustrated until they get a new constitution in which calls for a big business model which calls for the president to be a manager.
But that’s just not the case.
Of course not. Even with the huge taxes, the welfare state is still bankrupting the Europeans. In fact, Sweden and Germany have been cutting back on benefits for current recipients--something US politicians would not dare to do.

For the Democrats and some Reps, the Constitution can be interpreted in such a way as to justify their objectives. Promoting the general welfare is used to support programs like SS, Medicare, Medicaid, Obamacare, food stamps, etc. And in many cases SCOTUS decisions ordain them as being constitutional.

The people want this huge government enterprise managed properly. Medicare, Medicaid, Obamacare, food stamps, are rife with huge amounts of fraud and mismanagement. Hundreds of billions of dollars are being wasted annually. The waste is enormous and we are paying for it in not only taxes, but also, huge deficit spending that is plunging us ever deeper into bankruptcy. These are threats to our economic well-being, standard of living, national security, etc. Unless we can get our financial house in order, everything else is just rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic.
