Me: GREAT, let's borrow a bunch of money to do capital expenditures, just like businesses do!
Republicans: No.
Me: GREAT, let's borrow a bunch of money to do capital expenditures, just like businesses do!
Republicans: No.
Me: Ahh, you mean let's run the government like a shitty dying sunset business that fires a bunch of workers and pays the money out to shareholders even as it gets competed into oblivion, because it doesn't know how to invest in new technology and grow again.
Republicans: Yes.
Republicans: Yes.
Me: ...And while we're at it, you want us to hire a corrupt CEO who embezzles money, bellows at employees, and gropes women...right?
Republicans: Also yes.
Republicans: Also yes.
Me: And just to be clear, you want us to halt hiring of outside talent because you think outsiders don't blend in with the company culture, even as you spend most of your time denouncing our own company culture?
Republicans: Yep!
Republicans: Yep!
Me: Ahh, so in other words, you don't want us to be run like a GOOD business. You want us to be run like an ACQUISITION TARGET.
