    Buying the government (if doing so was even possible) means they need to furnish it’s debts.

    Even if a company was willing to to undertake such a burden, nobody makes more money than the government, it just doesn’t have much reason to hold onto any of the cash it collects.

    Besides, they can just print more.

    Edit: that’s not to say it isn’t hilarious

      Buying the government is so easy. You can get a politician in your pocket for a only few grand.

      I wonder how much the Federal Reserve printer costs.
