Maybe it's a way to change people's opinions away from socialism and towards the feeling that they own a piece of these corporations that are being demonized by the MSM.

This would be another way for people to understand how socialism takes away things they own, once they own stock.

To the left, “stocks” is code word for rich and the upper 10%.

Expect “Trump only cares about rich people” and other permutations to be repeated ad nauseum.

A double down on mal-investment. The collapse is going to be spectacular.

Better to use a small percentage of incoming SS money to buy stocks, which I suspect would take the heat off that account going broke.

It would be interesting to see some stats if the government invested, say 5% or even 1% of SS receipts into the market in the last 10 or 20 years. Pick any number. I’ll warrant SS would have been in a lot better shape by now.
