I agree with that, but the Government that is putting money away in a rainy day fund as opposed to investing to do it now. That does not make sense from a point of view of the economics involved, quite apart from the need to have a liveable future for humanity. Putting money away now and not spending it, and as a consequence being hit with fines that run into the billions, does not make sense. That is what the Government is doing, however.
