James, I came to believe, hearing tales of ignorance, during the Financial Crisis that one of our bigger threats is financial illiteracy. I would expand it here to civic illiteracy. Self-serving people are playing on it to all of our detriment.
You understand perfectly. The challenge is some elected officials know that many people don’t understand. Don’t understand the debt, the dollar, international trade denominated in dollars that supports the US and our economy, nor the debt limit. and those responsible put up Social Security and Medicare/Medicaid as the sacrificial lamb people want to save so they’ll be ok scrapping other things. We need so much better education in this country!
