You can blame this squarely on the education (sic) system.
Yes.
If more people were aware of just what the EC was, how it worked and why it was introduced … we wouldn’t have this discussion every few years.
I didn’t even know that the EC even existed until I was in college. Heard it mentioned by a friend, got curious, researched on my own and realized just what a great gift our founding fathers gave us.
If my own curiosity had not gotten the better of me, I would still not be fully aware of what the EC was all about.
