MONEY SUPPLY

There is money and there is MONEY.

My money is counted by adding and subtracting. My spending is decided by what I believe I will continue to earn.

This is the same for a business. CEO's are mostly dealing with the kind of money that you can add and subtract. The only time businesses deal with the supply of money is when they do sales projections. (How well do sales projections do in your company?)

Governments have to deal with MONEY. A large portion of the government's money is based upon prediction that the entire economy governed by them will either decrease, increase or stay about the same. Since trust in the economy has a lot to do with the increase or decrease this is REALLY HARD to do.

I do not understand why people believe that business people will be excellent at running a large state. No one believes that business people would make good military generals.

We all know that being a general takes experience in the military that cannot be learned from books, but must be learned by doing. This is also true of politics.

Just as an illustration, Meg Whitman and her campaign to govern California, do not know that a city mayor has absolutely NOTHING to do with running the school system in that city.

We can not afford to be again governed by someone who is learning on the job. We need someone who already knows politics in our state.

I keep saying that politics is the hardest job on the planet. You have to take everyone's opinion and forge a course of action that will work for most of us. You mostly work with people who do not have to do what you tell them to do. You have to compromise, sometimes you have to compromise with people with whom your disagree.
