Political Factoid
The so-called "hard decisions"
in the business world involve:
- Firing people to reduce
costs, reduce debt, and
ensure profits and bonuses.
- Abandoning markets that
are unprofitable.
- Eliminating any expense
that does not traceably
contribute to the bottom
line.
- Maximizing the money flow
to the wealthiest players,
i.e., owners and executives.
The "hard decisions" which elected
politicians are suppose to make
are a bit different.
- Disasters are not profitable.
- Courts are not profitable.
- Citizens cannot be fired and
forgotten (albeit some politicians try).
- Regions cannot be abandoned like
unprofitable markets (else all
red states should be jettisoned).
