James Chen, a venture capitalist and blogger at Pure VC, suggests that government should be run like a business, especially in economic hard times. Unfortunately, he says that both the state government in California and the U.S. federal government have chosen to do what businesses know is unwise, trying to raise revenue either to cover budget deficits or new programs by squeezing customers (taxpayers). The article is interesting because of the way James reduces current government policy to analysis under simple business models, including the way you might run your own small business.
