This is where conservatives are correct, that the private sector is superior to the public sector.
Any businessman who ignores facts soon finds his business out of business — or himself out of a job, fired by the directors. That is in fact what happened to Fiorina after the directors could no longer ignore the fact that her incompetence resulted in the shareholder owners losing half their investment. But for government officials there are no directors to fire the leader until the next election. Heaven help us should someone like Fiorina ever get power.
