The Daily Show Audits America, Downsizes Underperforming States

At campaign stops across the country, Mitt Romney tells voters that he has the private-sector experience to turn the nation’s economy around.

So, The Daily Show wondered on Friday, what would America look like if it were run more like a business? The Best F#@king News Team Ever hit the Republican National Convention floor to find out.

“These are not easy conversations to have, but if it’s not working, you gotta end it. It’s gotta go,” one convention attendee told The Daily Show’s Jason Jones.

It turns out a lot of states are underperforming. So the team had to let states like Mississippi, Wyoming and Minnesota go.
