It&#x27;s very interesting that you think the best way to give back to the public is through...government discretional spending?<p>A couple thought experiments:<p>1)  If public sector spending was a good vehicle for increasing the public welfare, why don&#x27;t people donate money to the USFG over other charities?  Surely the Effective Altruism movement would be very interested if this were the case.<p>2)  In 2015, the USFG spent $229 Billion on <i>interest</i> on all of the debts it owes, over 6% of its total budget.  What makes you think paying off <i>interest</i> of the bad decisions of the legislative branch takes priority over <i>any</i> good-will private sector philanthropy, no matter how ego-fueled?
