Even if the government made a zillion bajillion dollars off this, what's the likely outcome (pick one):

A) Taxpayers don't see dollar #1
B) Government uses the money to increase spending on big new government programs like Social Security bailouts, National Health Care plans, etc. ending right back in the same position in a few years.
C) Because of overspending, government is "forced" to raise taxes on the American people again.
D) These "investments" yield either losses or only marginal returns - not accounting for inflation, which outpaces them by about 15% a year.
E) All of the above



F) Manna falls from the heavens, angels blow trumpets and throw rose petals at Obama's feet and the taxpayers all get a million dollars and a free McMansion from the government. Life is wonderful and utopian.











I'll take "E".
