No comments? Seriously?....it's a good read
It's a TL;DR for many on here, although often even shorter pieces don't get read because people prefer to us read headlines and then come to conclusions.
I read most of it, skipping some bits in the middle. I do think that although it sounds simple to just say run a government like a business, it's naive to think it's that easy, as I think DJT is finding out. And also, although government does often waste money, the reflexive response of "Just don't spend then" is too easy. You have to take things on a case by case basis.
The guy in that article basically got the power to do whatever he wanted to do and I don't think that's a good way for a town to be run at all.
