On Economics.

I know nothing about Economics:

This phrase I read/hear so often, even I didn't know anything about it, except how to keep a household journal (cash flow statement).

Then I read a few books for self study on the subject, and that's why it's now driving me mad when I see how stupidly "leaders" deal with the subject.

To start with, basic economics should be taught already in nursery school (the basic stuff)and then refined in higher grades.
The subject is very complex, and I have the impression our leadership is all too glad that not too many people understand what's going on with our money (eg taxes), what money REALLY is!
