Not only ignorant, but willfully ignorant, especially in the areas of history, and understanding of how PR, control & money games actually work... with history education being the worst. It's the main reason that I'm not optimistic about the near and medium term future. MSM and J6P seem to delight in locked-in establishment thinking and payoffs regardless of the obvious & massive failures. Inabilities to see consequences of various actions, like excess money printing in Venezuela or " tax and spend" as a progressive government standard operating basis in current days, is also key. It must be progress if it's called progressive, right? Save the children! /sarc

That's one of the wonderful aspects of living in the United States. If you prefer a Venezuelan or Russian lifestyle, you can move there. Putin is a strong fascist leader many Republicans greatly admire, and your new Russian lifestyle is only $433 away with a return ticket on KLM. One-way tickets are even more economical.

Are we truly that ignorant as a nation? Yes just look at this board and these are the 'smart' ones still hanging on to the Obama economic miracle. Remember right wing thought the fundamentals of our economy were sound as late as this time 2008 last cycle when we were angry at what was going on under GWB... This time will take far longer to play out though IMHO. Steep yield curve and 10 year treasury benchmark the big monied crowd use to discount cash flow supporting much higher prices even from here overall and more overlay of far more debt both private and public to get there..

that's quite the ironic joke re "when it comes to history lessons and Are we truly that ignorant as a nation?"

You were a gung ho supporter of Bush's ridiculous war in Iraq that has actually created more terrorists and chaos in that region, not to mention a couple $trillon dollars wasted and a few hundred thousand lives and counting

you really should just STFU about any political/economic topics... you've never been right about anything

Well, Sidney, you're wrong on two points. We have plenty of evidence that Iraq is a clear and present danger. His constant ties to all sorts of terrorist organizations is one and his hiding of WMD is another. You are also wrong about Revelations. It says that Israel will be attacked by Magog (Eastern nations, probably Arab states), but that those forces arrayed against Israel will be crushed mercilessly. Anyway, I think all you have to do is see all the atrocities Saddam and his merry band of murderers are committing during this war to connect the dots and realize that if we didn't attack him first, it would have been just a matter time before he unleashed the terrorists on us. And btw everyone, the terrorists joing the war against us in Iraq is a VERY GOOD THING. They are coming at us where we are strong and we will annihilate them. It's better than us sitting here in our homeland and waiting for them to come at us where we are weak. Now we can decimate them and remake that hell hole called the Middle East into something resembling a civilized region. It's funny to think that I was largely conflicted at the beginning of this war. Now I'm all for it, having seen the true colors of the regime and the true dangers we face, if we don't confront them now.
