You're way, way over LGing it. A business mindset in government would in a lot of cases consider what good are you doing for the taxpayer as the profit margin.

yeah, I don't see that mindset very much in the corporate world, what is good for the end user.

if it sells, they don't care what happens to the end user.

All you really need to know, at least for Medicaid, is that it is "pay and chase."

You submit a bill, the bill will be paid. You don't even need to submit supporting documentation for your billing to get paid. All you need are ID #s. It is a terrible system that is chock full of fraud. Money is spent, then the .Gov chases down the evildoers on the back end. If I were designing a system to bilk billions of taxpayer dollars, Medicaid would be the system I would design.

Don't know what "qualifies" someone to be in charge of a system like that, and I am not sure it matters. Whoever it is has been predestined to failure by the program itself.

He’s got a YouTube page. I believe he’s a lawyer but would also check another box.

according to the Biden admin, you only get credit for hiring a minority if the only reason you are hiring them is because they are minority. them being independently qualified for the job outside of the skin color, actually counts against them.

ok what makes Oz a good leader? Hog was the one who brought up managers, so talk to him about what is helpful.

A good manager knows how to delegate and doesn't micromanage. When I was a JO in the Navy, I went to the Chief of the shop I was "in charge of", and told him that I would stay out of his way and that I knew he was the one really running things, but if he needed anything from up the chain I would go and get it for him. That relationship worked out pretty well. Maybe OZ will have the ability to do that sort of thing.

I don't want there to be people with direct experience with the agency, but it would be nice if they actually worked with the agency before to know what needs to be fixed.

A heart surgeon TV host isn't going to have experience going through the paperwork to get claims paid by Medicare. Now if you told me it was Dr. Oz's admin/billing person, that would make much more sense. Oz is probably qualified to know what treatments are necessary and should be covered, but he isn't going know which 500 levels of red tape need to be cut out to smooth out the process. Know which bureaucratic loops need to be straightened out. which jobs are actually necessary, and which just serve to check a box.

I want Colion Noir as head of the ATF.

Hell no! I want the ATF. I will not be polite, worried by anyone's feelings and will be hell bent on getting anyone who even farted in the direction of the 2A fired.

Having a keen business sense is the only thing that will fix this nation. For too long we have let people who have never done anything other than work their way though the bureaucracy advance into positions of leadership. It's all they know and love.

Know, love and protect.

so that means his ethics and investigation and report is back on?

good, if so.

I don’t think so. At least not right now. He resigned from Congress when he accepted the nomination. I would guess if he decides to be sworn in for the next House since he won reelection it should absolutely be on the table. And I can’t wait for the hot takes on why it shouldn’t be released. “No no no that investigation was for the LAST Congress not the current Congress” 😂
