You can't say one businessman is the same as the next. That's where you went wrong. If you look into Romney's track record as governor of Massachusetts and his track record before his public political life you will see something much different than Dubya.

Lets take it back to the metaphor. If the U.S. was run like a business then it would be making money not losing money. As citizens we would have our parts in this business/country. Spending money in a business outside of overhead is either spent on creating more sales or making the business itself stronger. In other words, the money spent on turning Iraq into the world's biggest golf course could have been used for national health care, college scholarships or building levees in New Orleans... or whatever else to make this country(business) stronger.
