I agree. I have maintained for years that Economics 101 aught to be a mandatory high school class. It would be the death of the Democrat party.
The CBO will stick to static analysis until Hell freezes over.
Our 'teachers' aren't able to teach reading and writing... I suspect 'economics' would go the way of women's studies - down a road to insanity.
...........In all sincerity, I think Economics and Civics should rate right up there with reading, writing and arithmetic from Kindergarten on.
Naturally in the K grades, it’s basic basic stuff e.g “George Washington” was our first President”. By the time the kids got to the 12th grade, they should be studying the detailed inner workings of capitalism and government bureaucracies and their history in America.
Something along these lines is what it is going to take to save this country. And, oh!, along with economics and civics...........basic “morals” like “lying”, to name just one, should also be taught from K School on.
A teacher doesn’t want to teach any of this............can go drive a cab! Here in Texas we have tens of thousands of jobs so that should be no problem. I can’t find any “workers” for a project of mine.............so I know first hand.
