IF GOVERNMENT WERE A BUSINESS
 If a business – any size – were in a similar financial condition as the U.S. government it would be out of business. If a business owned by shareholders was in a condition such as our national government, top management would have been fired by now, if such an “enterprise” even could have survived to be in such disarray. With any organization, the shareholders would have long rid themselves of such a board and management. Indeed, perhaps it is impossible to imagine a corporation, maybe even a family-owned business, getting into an untenable position that is our three-branched government. There is but one solution for American voters: Vote the rascals out at the next election. Use the intervening time to organize a grassroots effort to accomplish that as far as possible. A 10 percent replacement would cause turmoil; 25 percent mass hair pulling; 50 percent¸ the Congress would see the light and do something about the national financial disaster ahead, at least – rationally – getting it under control with some hope of saving our constitutional system of self-governance. Replacing any more than half of the elected members of the House and a third of the Senate would bring the backbone of lawmakers to bring some sense of reality in the executive.
