You run it as if it's a country or a government.

> Our current government has a tremendous amount of debt.

That's a talking point the Republican always bring up even after the second election of Clinton and we had a surplus.

Even Bush Sr had to raise the taxes because of his war debt.

Bush Jr and Donald we're in debt with Trickle Down.

The republican party, to me, is the ones that are pushing for running like a company. Recent Democrat runs it as if it's a government. An example is Clinton forgiving a foreign country debts, raising 50 million in vaccine, I doubt any company would do that while managing a surplus and bombing the middle east for Bin Laden.

This is on top of knowing the key players that you've built relationship with while in politics.

You can't just go in as President and just boss those people around. All of them have some sort of agenda they want and you have to know them well enough to compromise and get them on board with a bill.

Clinton passed the bill of rights for healthcare. Bush close the donut loop hole and Obama got ACA. These aren't some running a company kind of move. Since ACA is in place Republican have failed to bring it down.

But what people keep on making it as if it's simple as running a company. Making it easier for CEO person with no politic experiences run and become president.

It's as easy as running a company.
