Bullish:

• $SOCSEC - Investing the Social Security Trust Fund in the S&P 500 could significantly increase its value and ensure its long-term solvency.

  • “If in 1971, which was the year that we went off the gold standard in The United States, if we invested the Social Security Trust Fund in the S and P, the balance of the Social Security Trust Fund today would be $15,000,000,000,000.”

  • “We could put about $500,000,000,000 in the trust fund today, and it will not go bankrupt again. And it will continue to grow every year.”
