To investors, Politicians always talk about investing in the future. They paint a rosy picture of tomorrow being brighter than today, as long as you subscribe to their economic policies. This is what the American Dream is predicated on. Anyone, from anywhere, can make it in America. The country provides economic and social mobility that is unrivaled globally. But new data shows that capital flows aren’t matching up to the political proclamations. Steve Rattner shared this chart yesterday showing the US government is currently spending 10x more money on seniors than children. That number was shocking to me because it goes against every word that comes out of politicians mouths. Now I am not some zealot who thinks we shouldn’t spend money to support the seniors who helped build our incredible country into what it is today, but rather I think we should either (1) balance the spending between the future and the past, or (2) we should be investing more in the future than in the past. The reason the current 10x higher spending on seniors is concerning is because it will only accelerate in the coming years. People are living longer than ever before and the promise of AI is that healthcare is going to only improve, so we could start seeing people regularly live into their 90s or 100s. If that future comes to fruition, the spending gap between seniors and children will only increase. Under that scenario, young people will feel further behind and the risk will increase for these young people to turn to socialism as a potential solution. They won’t care what history says. They only recognize that the current system is not working for them. Regardless of the intention, the system is not working for them because our government is invested most of the money in older citizens who already own the investment assets and have had time to build wealth. I am not claiming that we should hand out money to young people either. However, it seems like a no brainer that we should be investing more heavily in education, job training, housing for young families, and other simple measures that would make a noticeable impact on the future of the country. None of this would be easy. It would take a special type of leader to focus on the long-term, while ignoring the pressures of the senior class that want support now. But it doesn’t take Albert Einstein to figure out that the future of the country lies with the young people, so we have to significantly increase our investment there. We could always print more money. That would only exacerbate the problems we face today though. Instead, we should have a serious conversation about the redistribution of resources. Not from wealthy to non-wealthy, but rather from old to young. Invest in the youth. Ensure they will have a better life than their parents and grandparents. There is no better time to plant the tree than today. Because if we don’t start making a substantially larger investment today, and we continue to spend 10x more on seniors than children, then we all should prepare for a bumpy ride in the decades ahead. Hope you have a great day. I will talk to everyone next time. - Anthony J.
