Folks tend to make so much of running a business as some prerequisite to running government. Government is nothing like business and some of our worst Presidents came from the business world.

You may think our lawmakers sit there and write the laws being proposed however most laws are written by lobbyists and presented to congressional staffers who quickly look it over. The individual congress persons don't have a clue what they are really voting on most of the time.

I found it amusing how a while back the Conservatives argued how the Government should be run like a family budget where you only get what you can afford and that's it. I guess these guys don't have mortgages or car loans or any credit card debt like most American's do.
