Can we pass a law requiring congress critters to go beyond Econ 1
I'm listening to the minimum wage debate. I can't believe :sarcasm: how naive their arguments are. Move beyond Econ 1 or for the truly indoctrinated, Econ 101 and understand economics. (I've had years of Economics training but I'm not an Economist) I took Econ 1 from a Marxist at UC Berkeley where the frat/sor students complained that he taught new information than previous profs. I think that was the best class I ever took. He made us read various economic theories and evaluate them. I'm not a marxist, but I learned to critique economic arguments. Economics is supposed to be a science, and these idiots need to cite some data to support their arguments.

1. hey, watch it
This is the era of faith-based government! Evidence-based government dropped its razor in the bathtub & got electrocuted back in the 80s.

2. How about. . .
if we just make them understand the law of supply and demand. I doubt they could handle much more than that.
