Privatize it so it can become a wing of a political party and do the bidding of a tyrant (Not unlike the “Legacy Media). Once again, where are the “Originalists” on this?
I’m guessing “The Fathers" discussed this long enough to find it’s a shitty idea. They were ALL businessmen, but leavened their plan with the experience gained from living under a Despot.
Re-invent the wheel… and make it square because of the amazing stability.
These Republicans should emigrate to Russia, where this shit is actually already happening.
