Ignoring the minor problem of the Constitution......
Getting to the underlying philosophy of the post, most attempts to equate business practice and government fail the acid test. Government is not at all like a business and this rightly frustrates businessmen. Of course, that's not to say we shouldn't have fiscal probity in our government, it's just a different kettle of fish from business. For instance, no business would regularly build a fleet of aircraft carriers at about a billion a copy and then fill them up with multimillion dollar aircraft, and then spend twenty years sailing around practicing with the thing. The businessman would consider the threat the carrier is meant to address and say, that's what insurance is for.
