Was going to say, gotta check first how long that money was tied up for the profits to really mean anything. How well would that investment have done vs index funds or gold? Or what if you adjusted all dollars for supply?

The gov doesn’t invest in index funds or gold or in any traditional investor way outside of spurring growth.
