If the Republican's Amercia was run like a business

It would be like a Enron, Lehman Brothers, Haliburton, or BP with the result of a coal company leveling a mountain or an oil leak in the gulf of mexico. Business acumen does not magically translate into skillful management of the US economy. Recall, George W. Bush was touted as America’s first president with an MBA.

BTW, has anyone ever actually seen what shrub supposedly produced to earn that MBA? Don't you have to write a thesis? No way he didn't pay someone to do it for him.

pretty much New York, California, and Texas would have absorbed many of the "Red" states that were underperforming ... Alaska would have been sold back to Russia due to the unpaid bills from not paying off their credit cards.

They say the R party is the party of business. My great uncle used to say that. To which I say, it's the party of fraud, corruption, and all the rest that comes with the love of money.
