Politicians, have never had the reputation, of being good & consistent investors.

Social Security is a fine example.  Congress plundered the Social Security accounts.  When the money went into a financial crisis mode, "we the people" were blamed for the fiasco, and Social Security funds were classified as an entitlement.

Social Security is not an entitlement.  All working citizens, have paid into the Social Security system.

When the state government, raids the retirement system, there is no way to guarantee, that a financial investment will not fail.

Government projects overall, have had disasters connected to all of their projects.

All various government construction projects, produce burial sites, and disappearing human bones.  No one knows, the human bones final dispositions.

The Nimitz Highway was built from 2 ends to the middle, and when they came to the middle, they were off by almost 8 to 10 feet.  That is why there is a great dip, in the highway.

Leave the money alone.
