Should Govt Pensions ONLY invest in AMERICAN Companies?
Should Govt Pensions ONLY invest in AMERICAN Companies?
Should this be LAW?
I understand diversifying for maximum profit,
BUT since this is a fund for govt pension, not private Shouldn't they be obligated to invest here at home instead of betting against the home team?
GOVT not PRIVATE funds.
Other - Society & Culture9 years agoWhy aren't Presidential pensions investments ONLY in AMERICAN companies?
It seems like betting against the home team. Preach "buy American " and don't even invest in "American made ".

12 AnswersOther - Society & Culture10 years agoINDIANS, SKINS, TRIBAL MEMBERS - Where is the LINE?
http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=Apeyi...
That question and an answer prompted me to ask this.
WHERE exactly is the LINE for us?
When does "sacred" become "product"??
When is it OK to make and sell what used to be "sacred" to NONS?
Many of you know, i make pipes, and sling my bead work.
However, my pipes are NOT 'catlinite" NOR was catlinite ever sacred to MY people.
I do NOT make "plains style" anything. Never will
So where is the line?
is it OK for just an 'indian' to make a 'war bonnet" and sell it to a NON?
is it OK for a Lakota to make it and sell it to a NON?
Real feathers , fake feathers, does it matter?
in your answer, please state your Nation.

5 AnswersMaintenance & Repairs1 decade agoWhat is YOUR definition of WAR?
To me it's regulated ARMIES fighting other Regulated ARMIES.
Soldier Vs Soldier.
Not ARMIES vs women, children and old men. Or a handful of brave men with "primative weapons" as they LOVE to say.
I've seen "we won your land in a WAR fair and square" Too many times to count, just here on YA.
In life i've heard it enough times to take less then a penny and STILL be a billionaire.
So I ask you, what is YOUR definition of "WAR"??

7 AnswersOther - Cultures & Groups1 decade agoNON Indians, WHERE is all this FREE MONEY us Indians get exactly?
The budge for the Department of Interior is a whopping 4 billion dollars. No direct number on what is spent on the Bureau of Indian Affairs.
At over 700 tribes, it doesn't break down to much. So WHERE are all these Checks, Free College, Free Housing, etc. All this FREE stuff you people keep saying we get?
WHERE IS IT??
Even the BIA says it's a MYTH.
