    I can’t wait for the Treasury to start implementing mercantilist policies, or using section funds to trade on the Bourse.

    Yes, I have some Puerto Rican Munis you might be interested in..

    Actually, Warren Buffett recently made a $1 long bet that the S&P would out-perform a fund of fund managers. But if you trust the culture section funds to me, I can get you 4-5% above S&P. I’m special.

    And what do you suppose I should ask the Council to do with the unexpected income?
