Invested the money in what exactly? This essentially requires the government to decide what investments they think will be winners and losers, whilst influencing the rules that help decide who wins and loses. That would be politically controversial to say the least.

A mixture of bonds (gov't giving itself money, to earn a return, ha!) and stocks (probably a wide index fund, both US and international). Deciding on the breakdown of what percentage to allocate to each bucket and how many stocks from each category to use in your index would be an interesting debate to have though.
