The American people need an education on economics. Glad to see Romney is willing to try to provide it.

Not sure if there is enough time for it to truly be effective between now and November, but it desperately needs to be done.

No argument here, but that is gonna take years. Have to overcome a public school curriculum that is like twelve years of compiled Michael Moore movies and Richard Trumka speeches.

“The American people need an education on economics.”

They’ve been getting an up-close schooling in economics for years now, and it has them terrified. One thing that hurts Obama badly is that the impact of his socialist spending spree VERY quickly dropped the value of the US dollar; people didn’t have to wait very long to watch their dollars buy less at the supermarkets, gas stations, etc.

What Europe learned about socialism over several decades we learned in less than three years; while people complain about mortgaging their “grandchildren’s futures”, the fact is that many Americans can’t afford children (never mind grandchildren). Some people complaining about the long-term impact of this spending are actually complaining about the present impact - now - on them.
