Invest

Continuing with the Owellian theme, invest is the newspeak for spend.  Invest is a much friendlier word that can be confidently spoken by a liberal government official.  Spend can't be stated while the government checkbook is so far in the red.  We can't spend, but we can invest.  Invest is good.  Spend is bad.  Bad politicians spend money they don't have.  Good polititians invest taxpayer money.

Okay, give them their word.  I don't think it is working on the great unwashed masses.  Most everyone who pays attention now knows that we as a nation are broke.  The checkbook is overdrawn.  Ever new dollar we spend is a new dollar we borrow.  Knowing that, we understand that no one, be it an individual, a business or a government, borrows to invest.  To do so is nothing short of moronic.

We Proles are starting to figure it out.
