Iā€™m unclear, is that to overhaul or overtake? Either way it wonā€™t work with the Dumpster clan.

Another Trumpian misstep bound to fail!

Nothing like following the defeat of Trumpcare with another slap in the face to Congress, agency heads and the like by installing, no less, his son-in-law, an un-elected mope, to tell experienced bureaucrats what to do.

Sad!

Had any of you ever served in any capacity from Library board to State

Oh Yeah, thatā€™s a great idea.
Didnā€™t Gore have limited results when tasked with the same thing?
And he knew how things work in DC, lots of insider knowledge.
Iā€™m sure Jared will have a much easier time of it. NOT!

Andā€¦

ā€¦and apply my ā€˜ahead of schedule, under budgetā€™ mentality to the government.ā€

Yeah, if you manipulate the schedule and the budget after the fact.

What a maroon!

SAD!

Government creates an environment in which business can be conducted, among other benefits. But Dear Idiot and clan would never understand. Itā€™s a human thing.

Kushnerā€™s brother runs some sort of health insurance start up - Iā€™m sure this is another way to keep the grift in the family. His father was jailed for filing false tax returns and illegal campaign contributions - but he had already made his money to get Jared into Harvard.

ā€œWe should have excellence in government,ā€ Kushner told the Post on Sunday. ā€œThe government should be run like a great American company. Our hope is that we can achieve successes and efficiencies for our customers, who are the citizens ā€¦ and, more importantly, high compensation packages, great benefits, and profit - sharing for our executives, who are us, and huge earnings and dividends for our owners, who are big corporations and the Russians."

Citizens are not ā€œcustomers,ā€ Jay-red. To put it in your terms, citizens are the stockholders and the board of directors. So, watch what you try to do with our country.

Run the government like a business?

Is that like hiring a world class plumber to do heart surgery?

We all have talents. Not everyone who is talented in one area is talented in others.

Besides, why trust the government to the founder of Trump Steaks?

We trusted the government to Harding, Hoover and for the matter George W Bush. A student of history should know success in business does not correlate with success as president.

All that is necessary for evil to triumph is for enough people to say, ā€œItā€™s a business.ā€

Great. Heā€™ll put the country into bankruptcy, suspend the Constitution, rework it to make the US government a limited liability corporation, raid the pension fund (Social Security), replace Congress with a Board of Directors, outsource staff to a customer service call center in India, sell off national parks and other government land, and mark down Treasury bills for a quick sell-off.

Did I leave anything out?

Guess that man wants a nepotism scandal to take center stage to tamp down coverage of the incompetence scandal of the health care act.

Letā€™s seeā€¦they were willing to put almost 15 days into reforming health care. For the entire Federal government, they probably plan to commit as much as 21 days before withdrawing and blaming everyone else for the failure.

Not that I disagree with your premise, but there is no way in hell you can consider George W. Bush a success in business.

A member of the Trump crime family is going to recommend how the government should be run? Give me a fuckinā€™ break!

CNN, Maggie Haberman, NYTimes now reporting SIC asked to interview Jared about his own meetings with Russians. Just an interview, but major provocation. Going to be a busy day.

Boy the way Glenn Miller played
Songs that made the Hit Parade.
Guys like us we had it made,
Those were the days.

And you knew who you were then,
Girls were girls and men were men,
Mister we could use a man
Like Herbert Hoover again.

Didnā€™t need no welfare state,
Everybody pulled his weight.
Gee our old LaSalle ran great.
Those were the days.
