Also with your implication to politics, this whole "run things like a business" has got to stop on two very basic points.
- Governments take in tax money, businesses don't.
- By and large, businesses operate under a for-profit model, governments are not for-profit organizations.
Two completely difference objectives and realms. And I guarantee you, the people who go into government life with that 'rah-rah business' attitude come out with a whole different (and realistic) set of expectations.
The operating body that sets regulations for the economy and institutional frameworks does not operate the same as those that have to abide by them.

Fabulous!
Should governments be run efficiently, effectively and productively?
Your statements are very naive.
