They could if they had any experience in business. I recently had a Aha moment when I realized that probably 98% of politicians have no experience in anything other than politics. You have people like Buffy wicks who is suppose to be a housing champion and guru when the closet she has been in housing is a aisle at home depot. None of these people no nothing about business or finances or anything outside of stupid ideological memes.
