(NaturalNews) Here's a shocking statistic that helps explain why America is doomed: Only 3% of the country's educational institutions require students to take even a single class in economics before they're allowed to graduate. SOURCE.

In fact, only 2% of the country's colleges and universities require a solid education in core subjects such as mathematics, economics, science, literature, composition, civics and history. As a result, America's universities are graduating functionally illiterate, non-educated, "privileged" young adults who have virtually no real-world skills or any real understanding of how society works.

Instead, they're being taught "victimization" skills, race-based division tactics and how to be obedient puppets of the status quo while blindly voting for socialist bureaucrats that promise the highest entitlement payouts.

Sadly, today's colleges and universities aren't producing graduates who understand anything at all about core economic concepts such as monetary inflation, supply and demand, government price controls, the real costs of government subsidies, where money comes from, how investment bonds work, how the stock market works, and so on. As they vote, they tend to elect socialist politicians whose economic ideas sound good but inevitably fail (because socialism doesn't work).

The future of America looks grim if people aren't learning the fundamentals of economics...
