It became common during the Clinton Administration to speak of government
spending as an "investment." Congress might also therefore attach
the following to each spending bill:
By voting for this legislation I hereby affirm my belief that the
information and knowledge possessed by me and 434 other
Congressman-"investors" is greater than the collective knowledge
and information possessed by a Free Market of 150 million individual
investors, pension fund managers, insurance company executives, mutual
fund administrators, and brokers, all of whom do not have the luxury of
obtaining investment funds by passing a law, but must earn
their investment dollars.
