    When I found out what it meant when other countries have sovereign wealth funds…

    I have no idea how most people in America keep convincing themselves they’ve somehow got a good deal.

      It’s mostly oil countries that have a sovereign wealth fund and it comes out of the oil money. Norway, Saudi Arabia. Idea being that oil is a limited resource with a lot of value and the proceeds should be used to ensure everyone’s future.

      Of course the US IS an oil country…
