Psyche 16 is an asteroid that contains millions of tons of nickel-iron and platinum metals. Psyche 16 has enough iron to feed the earth's steel production at 2004 levels for 1.5 million years.
Why not tether Psyche 16 and tow it to earth orbit, or even to the orbit of the moon, and mine it at our leisure? The government could do it and the government could profit from it. In addition to using the wealth for national health care,the government could also use it to pay off the national debt.
The answer to all of our problems are right here in our solar system.
