Yeah it'll be a very interesting form of capitalism. Corps exist to turn money into more money. Since the state is now a biz, it can't run deficits/losses anymore. This implies no one will have any money since taxes > spending permanently. This can only be sustainable if profits are generated externally from foreign sector. But this also means not all countries can run profits.

Me at the house production just dancing to the music 
They mean like Bernie Madoff runs a business.
Or like private equity.
It would also mean “firing” all those who are not deemed necessary for profit generation.
