Heard a newsbrief that the President is urging a new plan to teach Americans about investment and personal finance.

Sounds too much like trying to let them know about personal responsibility. With a safety net.

Meanwhile our latest “tax rebate” will be going to people who pay no taxes. Can I get a rebate from Ford when I never bought one of their cars?
