Everybody seems to be talking about the state of the economy. So far the government has given away 350 billion dollars. That seems like a lot of money. The worst part is that I, as an avid newspaper reader, have no idea where it went.

Educators have us convinced that the way to wealth and prosperity is through education (talk about self serving). If we were better educated our economic problems would vanish.

My challenge to everyone is that the next time you go to a nice restaurant, not fast food. Ask the waiter or waitress about their education. I think people would be amazed at the results. There are many college graduates waiting tables because there are more graduatres than jobs. As I recently heard a man say, "I didn't go to college to do manual labor." Maybe we need to develop a need for college graduates rather than producing more.
