If any company would run their 'business' like the government runs its programs, they would either go under, or drag the rest of the country under with them.

Really? You mean like Ford, GM, Lehman Bros., Citi Bank and others? Were would they be without the government? They would be defunct, as companies that poorly run should be. At least with government they are accountable to the people and ala Paul Martin can be dismissed A over T in a matter of time. The government may be at times inefficient and wasteful and they may have their bouts with corruption, they wouldn't be capable in this country of brining down the economy due to corporate greed, ridiculous mortgage lending practices, questionable bond ratings and approvals, investment practices and credation approval policies.
I think we've highlighted the major difference between Canada and the US and the many ways it manifests itself in both nations.
