Donald Trump is finally realising that you cannot run the US government like a business

[rightwinger]

This is what career politicians has given us... not so great


U.S. National Debt Clock : Real Time

$128 trillion national assets with $20 trillion debt

You're sadly mistaken, 200+ trillion dollars of unfunded liabilities 20+ debt.

That $200 trillion is Social Security and Medicare that will be paid by future taxpayers. It is unfunded in our budget, but the mechanism is there to pay it

If you took top businessmen and they ran the country like their companies, the country would thrive.

If you took politicians and they ran companies like they do the country, the businesses would go bankrupt and collapse.

Different worlds.....different rules
Different economics

Some yes, some no. But with politicians, the focus is to win elections and to hell with the country. In business, the goal is for the business to be successful.

Trump put a hiring and wage freeze on federal workers. So it seems, he doesn't care much for bureaucracies either. The elimination of at least half of those would be very beneficial for the country. This is the business mentality: eliminate waste.

Once again demonstrating a simplistic mentality of Trump

Rather than look at the Federal organization and see what is critical and what is superfluous......he just slaps on a hiring freeze

How many good workers went elsewhere because of Trumps arbitrary freeze?
How were organizations like the VA, which Trump said was his first priority affected by the freeze

Declaring the entire Federal Government unnecessary is not a solution

Nobody said the entire federal government, just the wasteful people that really don't do anything.

We had a couple of government shutdowns the last 20 years. Did anybody die? Was anybody denied emergency help? Did anybody really even notice?

We have heard that for decades.....the thinking that there is a huge pot of waste waiting to get cut

Unwarranted Government shutdowns is waste. The last one cost $26 billion.
You just kick things down the road and pay for them later.

Trump freaks out
JUST IN: Donald Trump just had a total freak-out on Twitter, this time raging against NBA owner Mark Cuban for calling him "crazy" and a "hypocrite," while also making a blatantly false claim in the process.

The best moment Donald Trump has had in his tumultuous first three weeks in the White House was the nomination of Neil Gorsuch to the Supreme Court. The roll-out was pitch perfect.Trump for once was not over the top. And by common consent, Gorsuch is admirably qualified and a great guy. Now the President risks messing it all up.

Part of the problem is the almost vertical learning curve to which this most ignorant and least experienced president in history has inevitably been subjected. Mastery of Twitter is fine but it doesn’t cut the mustard. But the biggest problem, and the biggest lesson, is another. You can’t run the government like a business.


Trump is realising that you cannot run the US government like a business

It is hard to run a business when half your employees are morons. Referring to progs in the House, Senate and Scotus.

 

[AntonToo]

The federal government has been run NOT like a business for many, many decades… It's been a failure.
Career Politicians can't run anything right... fact

What the **** are you talking about? You seriously can FIND NOTHING in this great country that government deals with that is run right?

Our economy is not the best in the world?
Our military is not the best on the world?
SS/Medicare/Medicaid is not run right? The checks do not come in on time?

When you start out with idiotic premise you end up supporting idiotic solutions. Putting into White House impulsive man-child blowhard with zero government experience is a perfect example.

The biggest lesson of the last year, that Liberals are a dying breed, losing election after election. And after losing, they still have yet another lesson to learn, don't believe your own lies. Trump is doing fine, the Republicans are doing fine. Democrats on the other hand control about 5 states, no more. Goodbye Democrats, I wish I could say it was fun but you jerks have destroyed so much.

If you believe this you're living in fantasy world. Which doesn't surprise me as many seem to be anyway.

How exactly do you know that? Trumps initial 3 weeks have been a disaster

But his employees are hand chosen. Those in the House and the Senate are there not to be his employees, they're his EQUALS. Yet he hasn't figured that simple fact out yet.

With the exception of activist judges interfering in his plans, I think the last few weeks have been great.

What success is to a business is not necessarily what is success to society.

WHat is success for a politician is not necessarily what is success to society.

Look at Detroit. THe dems own that city. That is a big win for them.

For the society of detroit? Not so much.

That's because they laid off the workers but paid them their salary and benefits anyhow. That's not the way it's supposed to be done. But again, who missed them? Did you? Did I? If you didn't read it in the news, you would have never known government shut down.

/---- Thank you Captain Obvious, Pres Trump is the first private citizen to be elected president so it is obvious that he has no political experience. Do you walk down the street and point out to people who are driving green cars that their car is green?
