Republicans promised to run the country like a business, and they’ve run it into the ground. With the government shutdown stretching past a month, Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy says the skies may soon be closed for business. Air traffic controllers are still working without pay, SNAP benefits are expiring, and millions of Americans are about to spend Thanksgiving grounded and hungry.
Duffy warned that if the staffing crisis continues, he will “shut the whole airspace down,” a statement that somehow manages to sound both reckless and honest. Meanwhile, Donald Trump refuses to renew food assistance for 42 million Americans, insisting the crisis is “fake news.” For a government built on grievance and showmanship, starving the poor and stranding the public is apparently just another campaign promise kept.
Run it like a business? Oh, like a casino, or private university, or steaks, or vodka, or....
"Run the country like a business" implies someone's making a profit. . .
I wonder who that could be.
