Subprime Debacle

Submitted by Claude Bogardus, Oct 26, 2007 10:58

Pupils of the 7th and 8th Grades of America's Public School Systems should become proficient in the financial operation of compound interest and the creation of household budgets. That they graduate from High School ignorant of both is a massive faud perpetrated on the children, and the adults they will inevitably become, by America's Schooling Industry. Sheep will be sheared. The National Education Association is allowed first place in line by law and custom. The Financial Industry is content with the still lucrative leavings. When will Ameriica's Schools stop graduating financial lambs? Sadly, never, I fear.
