[QUOTE="Fritz the Cat, post: 248385, member: 605"] Many people point to the Scandinavian Model or Steady State Economy. A brand of socialism they like. They take money from Baltic Sea and northern Atlantic offshore drilling. But they don't spend it all. They also re-invest. Did you know Norway owns minerals in the Bakken? In North Dakota we created a Legacy Fund. The gift that keeps on giving. The idea is to only spend the interest earned. Granted, low rates right now don't make it look all that attractive. But there are stops to investing in things too risky. All that said, look at all the voters wanting to spend every dime in the Legacy Fund.
