61. Gore never proposed putting any actual money anywhere |
|
You think he said to put hundreds of billions of dollars in a box?
With no interest?
If he would have proposed taking the actual physical surplus each month and investing it somewhere apart from the government like bank CD's, then that would have had some meaning.
But his idea was not that or close to it.
His idea was just rhetorical nonsense. Make a pledge to not spend the IOU's on anything but social security. Great, but we don't have the money to pay back the IOU's anyway, so it's kind of superfluous making non-binding pledges on how to spend non-existant money.
