Here's the thing with 'Run the Government like a business' that bothers me, and why I can't support Romney (Even aside from a demonstrated lack of any core principles beyond "Get Mitt elected"): The model of a big business is a centrally-controlled organization run by an autocratic CEO, and it's his way or the highway (Aside from actually getting fired by the Board, equivalent to impeachment). I don't think that's what anyone but other large business interests actually want in this country.
