You know, the initial goal of democracy was to have the intelligent guy be the one in charge. When our nation first started, you could not get into a position of power unless you were educated, which is still true to my knowledge. The people who truly understand how economics works are supposed to be the ones in power, because they’re the ones that can make informed decisions. Sadly, politics has turned into a popularity contest over the years. It became less and less about “what will you change to make this country better” and more and more about “what outlandish promises will you make that we both know you won’t keep”.
