I've been studying.

It seems as though our current politicians believe that the people they represent are ignorant. Of course they will deny the statement because they are politicians. A lot of todays politicians were educated in the 1950s. That was a time when they may have actually been more aware of government and world events. The 60s came along and those being educated realized that they were being given a snow job. After some time, there is once again a gap in knowledge. But this time it is the other way around. Todays literati are far and above more knowledgeable than the average politician. They know more about the law, society, finance and world affairs. It is appaling that the administration is putting this debt burden on us. Their foreign policy is so arragant that it will take a decade of Franklin's to get us back to the table with them.
