Sell off federal lands - pennies on the dollar.
Privatize everything.

(123 posts)6. That should have been warning enough
Why would anyone be stupid enough to want to be run like a business?
Businesses treat anyone that isn't high up on the food chain like scum. They are drenched in nepotism (meaning the people in control probably don't have the skill to be running things, they're just good at networking) and the first people to get the short end of the stick when things go south are the underpaid, overworked low and middle rung workers.
Not only that, most businesses are doomed to fail unless they're too big to fail.
Yeah totally not a broken system... idiots.
