Away from Politics; toward handling the country’s business by business leaders, not lawyers with the help of America’s creative class techies. Time to talk up this party to get some of the Meg Whitmans (President of Ebay) and Jack Welches (former President of GE) to head up the board of directors for America’s new innovative party --- no laywers. We’re looking for billionaire internet and business leaders to be on the board to back this creative class party that will have business leaders, Chief Information Officers, Business Unit Innovators, Process Improvement Innovators, and Consultants for hire. We will look at every inefficiency, get rid of pork barreling, have term-limits,etc. We will run the government like a 21st century business not like 535 lawyers trying to screw in a light bulb catering to lobbyists and PACs.

We are talking about getting process improvement people to create the right incentives for government to work as it should. If we create the processes and correct incentives, people will do the right thing. It's all about incentives. See quality applied to thinking.http://avidsaver.com/tqt/tqt.html
Although I am not inspired by the Bush administration's performance which fully demonstrated that a contempt for government processes results in bad government performance, the role of business in corrupting government is also not particularly inspiring. Business, in its demonstration of almost total lack of concern for the public good in deference for its short term interests and its gross inefficiencies in operation which has lead to the collapse of the automobile industry and gross over-runs in cost of the military manufacturers does not seem to me to be much of an improvement over the current self serving politicians.
Jack Welch isn't a producer, he's a looter. He made GE wealthy by sending all of the jobs to China.
I don't think the Chinese would object to running our government, but...
I can see the impetus for your remark--and accomplishing goal based on what people actually want (ie. will pay for) vs. just doing crap to say it helps poor people would be a good start for government.
And what's with all of the government unions? I'd never ride a bus to work because they could strike the day I sold my car and I'd lose my job too. There's gotta be a better way. You can't allow legislated monopolies to have unions.
Also, all of those companies that operate in debt--we don't want them having a hand in this. Debt will come home to strangle us. The biggest pork barrels are the entitlements. We have to cut them back.
Businesses are often corrupt, but governments are even worse, IMO.
The choice/life issue has polarized the parties in the USA to a degree where issue loyalty allows things like the Freddie/Fannie debacle -- voices of reason are hushed on "minor" issues.
Any party that could get away from the current paradigm would bring some great changes, too bad Ross Perot was either not serious or maybe was a tad too crazy.
