I'll kick things off in this story with a compliment of sorts to Sen. Chuck Schumer, who has recently admitted that, yes, there is wasteful spending in the federal government:

Schumer's been in Congress for decades, knows there's wasteful spending, and has never cared to do a damn thing about it. Actually Chuck only wants to make the waste worse, which is why Schumer and the Democrats are sweating like a teenage boy whose mother says she's going to look under his mattress because of what DOGE is doing.
This week, Schumer, who works in a federal government that's closing in on $40 trillion in debt, had the audacity to lecture Elon Musk and DOGE about what a "good business operator" would do:

For starters, a "good business operator" wouldn't let their company get $37 trillion in debt (nor could they).
Chuck Schumer has never run a business.

Trump's team contains a lot of people who have actually accomplished things in the private sector, which makes it extra special when career politicians who have never operated a lemonade stand tries to lecture them about good business practices.
If this was a business.

The bankruptcy proceedings would have started a long time ago. And the company would be sold for parts.

I've always thought an entertaining reality show would be to take lefty politicians such as Schumer, Bernie Sanders and maybe a couple members of The Squad and have them run a private sector business for a month. Well, probably less than a month because it would go under before the four weeks passed.
In the federal government context, what a "good business operator" (voters) should do is vote out Schumer and the rest who are fully content to keep driving the country off a cliff.
