WealthTrack - Great American Investments - Charles Ellis
Social Security, the Louisiana Purchase, and the National Institutes of Health are just a few of the major investments that define America. Financial thought leader Charles Ellis discusses his soon-to-be-published book, Great American Investments.
nice higher level change of pace. america's massive land purchases were firesales triggered by those (napoleon, russia) wanting to fund conquest of europe!
Thanks for posting! As was mentioned in the OP, Mr. Ellis considered Social Security and the National Institutes of Health to be two of the greatest American investments. Our executive and legislative branches of government should imagine potential long-term benefits while deliberating federal appropriations. These so-called leaders often have a short-term mindset.
