Reagan: “It isn’t so much that liberals are ignorant. It’s just that they know so many things that aren’t so.”

A O C has a degree in economics?

I have a business degree, and a minor in economics. Fortunately I graduated in 1970. And the university that I graduated from had very very few lefties. In fact, the Dean of the Economics department was Dr. Muir, but he preferred to be called Col. Muir. There were no lefty Economics professors visible then.

The Dean of the School of Business, Dean Callerman, preferred to hire retired military officers. This was a combination that seemed to work very well.

I was not well informed of this when I began at that university, it was clearer when I graduated. It was made crystal clear over the next 35+ years that they were spot on and way ahead of their time.

I entered University about the same time that you graduated, and embarked with naive notions of achieving a true education.

Didn’t take me long to understand that the foundations under any semblance of classical education were eroding even faster than those under the faux classical architecture were.

I left, and became an autodidact :-)
