Sovereign Poverty Fund

By -

The President is a man of action, that’s undeniable. One of his many announcements lately has been for his administration to explore the prospect of setting up a Sovereign Wealth Fund for the good ol’ U.S. of A.

Ummm…………..what? This would be EXACTLY like setting up a family office for some alcoholic bum you met on the street. The U.S. HAS no wealth to manage! We aren’t like Saudi Arabia, which is drowning in extra cash that needs a home. Seriously, this is one of the silliest ideas I’ve heard yet. Give me a break.
