Bud, you've heard of interest, right? Do you realize what the interest accrued would be on that lump sum, if it were conservatively invested? We are talking about, say, 2% interest on hundreds of billions. The Danes (or is it the Swedes) do this with their $1 trillion fund, successfully, for the past thirty years.

Meanwhile, the estimated cost to end world hunger is $30 billion a year, less than what they spend annually on education.

BUT NO COMRADE IS SO MATURE AND INFORMED AND SO RIGHT.

Go away.

Hunger ought to be the number one concern.
