And me smart with money and erase the deficit before a financial collapse occurs? Most politicians are lawyers too-and my accounting teahcer in college stated lawyers are the worst money hanlers there are.

If you are representative of a Ross Perot supporter or an Perot Industries employee, I would say "Absolutely not."
The main problem, as I see it, with our government politicians now is that they have already tried to be businessmen, corporations, and con-men. George Bush was an awful business man before he was handed our checkbook; he bankrupted every company he touched.
So, I say---give the country back to the people, as it was intended. A government of the people, by the people, and for the people.

I don't believe America should be run like a business.
It would be great if Ross Perot could advise and eliminate deficit and things of such. He's a superb businessman, but America is full of people who have needs and problems. He needs to be qualified in helping people, showing compassion, and showing confidence on the world stage.
I think he should definitely work with the president.

Ross Perot had people who believed in him and voted for him, only to drop out of the race. We need someone who'll see it through to the end.
These days, though, I'm afraid that if someone comes along who's charismatic with a vision for helping this country out of the mess it's in, he'll most likely be assassinated... just like in Huey Long's day.

The president has little or no control over the budget.
No matter who is elected president, so long as congressmen are allowed to use the US Treasury as a pork barrel to finance their pet projects (that benefit no one other than their wealthy backers), the situation will not change.
Congress is where the problem is, but, ultimately, it is with the American voters. Many of whom prefer voting based on irrelevant social issues rather than critical financial issues.

I worked for the Perot campaign and he pulled the rug out from under us.

I think it could be a good idea. A business and a government have different goals though.

I actually voted for him before he dove off the deep end . . .
