“Elected Officials Score Lower than the General Public.”
I would like to see economics education. There is very little. There are widely held erroneous economic conventional wisdoms across all political spectrums. For example: I hear liberals, conservatives and populists all say that when the government raises taxes they are all passed through to the consumer by the business. Simply not the case.
God help us all!
Bipartisan Group of Senators to Propose Compromise Loans to Big Three
WASHINGTON — Aides to a bipartisan group of auto-state senators say they have reached a compromise to speed emergency loans to Detroit’s Big Three car makers.
Republicans and Democrats plan to present the proposal at a mid-afternoon news conference Thursday. But it was whether the compromise plan could draw enough support to get through a reluctant Senate.
It temporarily would divert to troubled automakers money from a program that currently finances the development of fuel-efficient vehicles. The aim would be to cover their immediate expenses.
