We talk about poor education and the effect on our country, and this is the core of the problem: a lack of financial understanding. If we had taught our students about personal economics and finances, much of the situation the country is in would have never happened.
Do you think that the situation you observe is by accident?
Even beyond “personal economics” - just teaching some basic supply & demand economics would have 90% of the country laughing at the leftists’ economic assertions.
