Imagine how strong Social Security would be right now if the Feds had taken 1-10% stakes in Microsoft, Apple, Google, etc. Tiny Norway’s fund is $2.5 trillion, having used oil revenues to invest in companies and funds. Social Security is a pathetic scam that gives retirees a mere pittance.

Grok:

“Yes, President Donald Trump initiated the creation of a sovereign wealth fund for the United States through an executive order signed on February 3, 2025. This order directed the Secretaries of the Treasury and Commerce to develop a comprehensive plan within 90 days, covering funding mechanisms, investment strategies, governance, and legal requirements (including potential legislation needed for full implementation). The fund aims to enhance fiscal sustainability, reduce tax burdens on families and businesses, secure economic stability for future generations, and strengthen U.S. global leadership.
While the fund has not yet been formally established via legislation—adopting an unconventional, decentralized approach involving multiple agencies—it is already operational through strategic investments and initiatives”

America should have a Sovereign Fund, funded in part with oil money from Alaska's ANWR.

Social Security is a pathetic scam

Ironically, so is the stock market...

I'm living in a giant game of financial Jenga.
