America is not a business

[MissMillie]

In the preamble to The Constitution, one of the plans for the U.S. Government is "promote the general welfare".

In business, your plan is to make money for yourself, your investors, and your stockholders.

I am SO tired of people suggesting we run the American government like a business. It's not Constitutional.

1. A government run like a business is fascism

2. The same people want to run higher ed the same way.

That model has given us a bloated administration and low pay for everyone else. Go figure....
