Discuss.

I've got an A in marketing economics. I could run this country.

Well, I'm doing economics at uni...

Is economics compulsary in USA?

Oh lawd, what an idiot.

That was horrifically painful.

Eek!

Yes, kinda, pretty much.

In most states you have to have an introductory course towards the end of secondary school, and at most universities at least one economics course is required in the first couple of years.

"Fool me twice, shame on you, fool me twice...you can't fool me again"

I love bushy.

Did you all catch the comment down below, that one reporter went back and looked at his college transcripts.

He took two economics courses at Yale and got a 71 and a 72 in them (ie C-).

What I find even more interesting is that Bush has an MBA from Harvard. Today, there are at least three economics courses required for Harvard MBAs. Each one is taught by world famous economists. I wonder what he got in those classes.

We may already be in recession, and the guy running the show tells us to go ask an economist about it. As if stopping a recession is not a huge part of his job.

I love bush.

If anyone takes Bush's idiotic mistakes seriously, then you be the fool.

Bush's facade that he has practised since his presidency, is nothing more than a diverting measure, to make him look like a bumbling idiot. But the truth is, that he is not the decision maker in the US, he is merely a figure head used to divert the nations attention from the catastrophic decisions that are being made by the men in the "shadows".

Look through it, my american friends.

Save your country, else like all other historical grand empires, you will fall, crash and burn.

Just like my own

"...the best way to stop The Government from reading your mind is Aluminium. The aluminium deflects the mind-reading beams from The Government satelites, rendering them ineffective. Of course, when The Government realises that they can no longer read your mind, they will force your friends and family to kill you via their mind-control chip (if you have not removed your chip as per the instructions on the previous page, do so now). This means that once you have discovered THE TRUTH you will be forced to flee for your life; The Government has agents everywhere..."

Mandatory classes are usually decided upon on a state to state basis. In California, it is a compulsory class, though only one semester's worth.

I don't think so, I took the class last year and to my knowledge the name hasn't changed, but I'm sure its essentially the same class...

So true....

You want to team up, and defeat the government?

Yes. We can build a giant laser cannon on the Moon (from Aluminium, of course; we wouldn't want The Government to read our minds) and completly destroy The Government with it.
Then we can establish our own totalitarian regime and a secret spy network among the populace to ensure something as evil as The Government will never rise again.

Neutrino, It seems as though you've put an awful lot of thought into this...

are you sure you're not "one of them"?

How could you accuse me of such a thing!?

I'm going to tap some phone lines and arrest people on false charges now. It's going to take a lot of interrogation sessions before I can get over this injustice.
