Investing in market returns is a lot more plausible in a small country than a big one. When the fund has to turn around and start selling, Chile is not going to move the global market, but Social Security would have.

Still, Bush’s idea was a reasonable one, and based on where markets are today, it would have been a big moneymaker. Pelosi doesn’t mention that much.
