IMO a Sovereign Wealth Fund is a great idea. Look to Singapore and Norway's funds for example. But this is a slippery slope, and it might turn out badly. What's our government's track record with slippery slopes?

What is communism? What is it really? Not just the icky weirdos with the childish ideas - the real countries that are communist, what makes them different?

In communist countries, the government owns everything. And they generally have the support of the population, because the government also runs the schools, and also bans communications platforms that it views as subversive. Ring any bells?

Inch by inch...

If the investments are in foreign companies/entities, that’s one thing. If they’re in domestic companies, it’s very concerning. The government can already regulate and tax companies. They don’t need to also have a direct stake in those same companies. Such a conflict of interest, and could be a a slippery slope to government takeover of the private sector.

Starting a SWF is an absolute joke when you have $36T in debt on the books. This administration would be wise to study Andrew Jackson.

Omg yes, we would all be wise to study Jackson. Best president we ever had

I wouldn't go that far. He has a lot of blood on his hands, but financially, yes, he knew what he was doing by paying off the debt and a freeing the gov from the financial cartel.

Right. How are you saving up money in a SWF when you already pay a $Trillion in interest on debt every year?

Anyone holding treasuries right now should be like WTF?!?
