Really. Does the national debt reset every 2, 4 and 6 years? How about monetary policy? Is that suddenly reset, and all debt wiped out so we can being producing GDP? What about manufacturing - do all the jobs that were lost come back and start back home until lost again? I'm just curious, because you make it sound like a video game.
What, specifically are you referring to on "The Balance Sheet" of the country?
I assure you running an organization is not a video game and you don’t get to just pass the buck.
Everyday businesses and governments face challenges and have to adapt to changing markets and operating conditions. This is where leadership makes all the difference in the world. Creating a false equivalency and writing all leaders off as kooks doesn’t jibe.
The deficit is either increased or decreased, the budget stays the same or changes, jobs get outsourced and created. These are all issues presidents deal with. Some more successfully than other.
Some presidents run the country into the gutter and others make improvements.
There’s no reason to be morose about the structure of our government. It’s structure is what allows for change both good and bad.
Balance sheets are outlays verse inlays, liabilities and assets. Here is the financial report of the US government for 2017 for your review:
