Above we had a conversation regarding the Federal Deficit and the Public Debt; two entirely seperate things that somehow were lumped together to try and prove some point of which I have no idea. Asking some of the people around here if they were aware of these two things and what they meant. Everyone; both Republicans and Democrats of the six or so I asked knew full well what I was talking about and could explain the difference.
So it dawned on me. We need some public education regarding how things work in our government. Evidently the schools aren't doing it; so how to educate people about fundamental issues that affect us all.
That is the real question we must address. An uneducated citizenry is subject to manipulation and control. This should be addressed.
