I plead ignorant, which is why I'm avoiding this discussion for the most part.

However, I think part of the problem is the media too. I mean, turn on FOX or CNN or even the extreme liberal media (Daily Show), and all they talk about is how the Republicans are all opposing the Stimulus, or how it is Dems vs. Pubs.

There is very little content actually explaining how our economy works, and why our economy is in such a shitty spot right now.

Does the mass media get a cookie for polarizing/stupidizing the American Public? How come the American public are too ignorant to be educated on their own economy. Of course that makes me a huge hypocrite, but when I have some time I would like to sit down and learn US Econ 101 because soon I'll be doing all my own taxes and stuff.
