It's probably not the government's job to teach people wise investing practices. It is their job to protect them from outright fraud.

People who become destitute because they don't know basic fiscal know-how are useless and significant loads to society and therefore the government, so there is vested public interest to teach. Catch and punish fraudsters, and teach the commons that investments and savings are two very different things and how they should be conducted. Both can be done with no negative impact to the other.
