Fundimental changes in the US economy
Disclaimer this is only an idea I had a few months ago, but would like to know what you folks think.
The way I see it we pay taxes the $$ we pay is just spent as a matter of fact more $$ is being spent than we have. It seems to me the gov bubble is doomed to crash just as the RE bubble.
My question is why are our tax dollars not invested and all the programs that are needed funded by those returns?
If this was done correctly and managed by honest people (yea I know Ha Ha) the taxpayers of the US would be the largest investment fund in the world UMM what could we do with that?
Residents could choose to keep any surplus or reinvest as with derivatives. Like how residents of Alaska get $$$ from the pipeline every year.
I expect that the savvier on this site will easily tear this layman’s idea apart, but none the less the only stupid question is the one unasked.
Best, Lee
