You don't need a degree in economics anyway, to understand debt/GDP, $1.5 Trillion/year deficit spending, and what has happened to Euro countries that went 120% debt/GDP. It's pretty simple stuff.

Even simpler, any household that manages its budget properly understands spending too much makes for headaches.

But geniuses like Contessa Brewer don't get that, along with half of Congress.

Govt and the Fed are full of Ivy League economists and as a result we are in a deep deep financial mess. We need someone who knows how to balance a check book and run a company. The ruling crowd has failed and needs to be replaced.
