American marxists and leftists love using the word "investment" to describe pissing-away incredible sums of taxpayer money on ridiculous social-engineering schemes, and funding their cronies and bloated political blocs.
think about it
Maintaining 20 divisions of the US Army (incl NG) is a “social experiment”?
5000+ Abrams tanks is a “social experiment”?
1000+ Patriot launchers is a “social experiment”?
These are capital assets. They should even be depreciated per GAAP (but aren’t).
It seems to me you want to fight with someone about something else, but in your bad mood you settle for biting at anyone within reach.
