Not with my money. Plenty of hedge funds made billions by investing against these firms....
Taxpayers don't invest. They just get harvested from. 'Investments' are done by politicians. For votes and money from unions, contractors and rent seeking( look up ) business.
Well in that case, thank God that over the years we've been blessed with politicians who had the foresight to harvest the taxpayers and invest in infrastructure like roads, highways, canals, locks & dams, airports, bridges, tunnels, subways, water supply and sewage treatment systems and myriad other infrastructure that we take for granted.
Heaven KNOWS that America wouldn't have any of that stuff if it was left up to some bumwiper hedge fund operator on Wall Street. Those stinking parasites "invest" in solid gold toilets in their Wall Street penthouse rest rooms and expect the rest of us to trudge barefoot through frozen muck and mud to get to work...
The heck with that B/S, if I want my elected representative to build a monorail, he better well do it or else hit the road.
The next little lesson in introduction to economics will be, ‘the things unseen’.
The money drained off for wasteful expenses, makes it not possible to fund other activities. People who are simplistic are unable to see this. For instance, who would of thought vast fortunes could come out of one car garages. ( Wright Brothers, Henry Ford, Hewlett Packard ).
Well a majority of people don’t like trains or monorails... They prefer to fly or drive.. Plain and simple..
