By design, the U.S. government cannot be run like a business. The Founding Fathers consciously and deliberately chose to make the federal government as structurally inefficient as possible so that the actual exercise of federal powers (which are effectively unlimited under the Constitution except as provided for in the Bill of Rights) would be constrained. Businesses don't have to deal with the Bill of Rights; the government does. Every exercise of government power must conform to the Bill of Rights and Constitutional prescriptions and proscriptions. The current government could be run more like a business than it currently is, but there is no way under the Constitution that it could be run like a business.
