If in fact Godfather was in a financial mess and his role was to come in and restructure it so that it can regain its financial strength...and if in fact he did so.....then he did, in fact build an empire...(I am using the word empire becuase you did.....but an empire does not truly relate to a company that sells franchises)....
But the treuth is....if a company is in the red...regardless of how large it is...and sopmeone brings it into the black...they in fact made something from nothing.
You mean like Clinton did with the USA?
Prove it as the debt increased with all that surplus.
Only surplus on the chart for decades.
Paygo did not last long under Bush did it.
