Do you think congress may have forgotten how their job works? Like I remember learning the importance of congress in middle school. Power of purse and all that. Why is the congress petitioning the president for legislation? Can we please replace the congressmen who don’t understand what their job description is? Every day in the news its just “Legislator asking someone else to do their job” “Legislature confused on how laws are made” “legislator claiming the presidents office is just better at making laws”
No if I were the majority we would not be here. They don’t really teach finance and economics in public school. Balanced budgets haven’t been a popular platform since 2001. They stopped talking about it in 2012.
The average American can barely fucking read, so you better believe they can’t do math well. They certainly don’t deal in complex problems or multiple orders of effects.
Our education system failed so hard so fast that the majority of the population is blissfully ignorant on monetary and fiscal policy. I mean, these people don’t even understand the progressive tax code they’re under. They will pay taxes for 40 years of their life without fully understanding how a tax bracket works.
