i mean shes right. they are going to tax your hard work and inflate your savings away to fund war anyways. might as well get some of that money back on the other end.

id just tell her that hard assets are a better investment because they will always appreciate as opposed to war stocks which the government picks the winners and losers and eventually you are going to be on the wrong side of their arbitrary decision. then she can look further in to what that leads to if she wants.
