For those that have said we need to run our government "like a business", this is what we get. We get secrecy and deals behind closed doors. We get lies and deception. We get cover-ups. We get obstruction. We get decline in leadership around the world. We get the undermining of democracy and the truth. We get leaders who use the White House as an avenue to increase their own personal wealth and they go to no end to hide it from the public.
If we have learned anything thus far from this experience, it is that there is a inherent danger in putting businessmen in charge of our government. Herbert Hoover was maybe the last businessman to occupy the White House before the present occupant? And we know from history what transpired with his "leadership".
