LOL at the joke in here but the policy idea doesn't sound half bad. The safe asset shortage we've got going means it could do a lot better than you'd expect, and Dems are going to have a real incentive to protect universities by backing this up when they next hold power.
Wondering if colleges should form a consortium, at this point, to float a single bond issue that calls the Trump administration’s bluff.
Call it the Federation of Universities and Colleges Organized to Fund the Future, maybe.

I don't think dems are going to do shit over anything, and that's the real asset. What I'd recommend is filling our oil and gas industry with intelligence assets and building a ton of crude CMs and BMs. You *might* cause domestic blowback over Dems backing down, but it's worth the cost

interesting! yeah, the emerging indie dev-pub funds are of most interest to me, since they're rooted in a healthy portion real asset backing rather than being beholden to whatever hole of speculative hot potato so many of the pubs have put themselves into

Exactly. Without the real assets backing that wealth, it has no real value. Every financial instrument they claim to be an asset derives its worth from the future expectation of a continued growth.
If that ceases to remain true, there is no meaning of protecting yourself by amassing wealth.
