Most definitely in regards we need good people prosper in life

It Surprises Me in Seeing So Many Progressive Liberals Not Supporting. Too many young Americans are financially illiterate and therefore unable to make smart financial decisions for themselves. Encouraging public-private partnerships to fix this problem has a wide range of benefits for individuals and the broader economy. SneakyPete..... 👍🏻👍🏻 YodaSays 👍🏻👍🏻. 4*30*19.....

The Democrats should divert available funds to this purpose

Young people have no clue how to be financially responsible

Any supper to help bring this country forward is a step int eh right dit

Teaching young people to avoid the rip off artists and to save some for the future is vital.

I do believe we should have financial literacy. We need financial literacy to begin in high school. Many schools have actually setup programs where students go through exercises of virtual investing. But I think a bigger picture is being missed here. You can have all the education in the world, but if you are involved with amoral, unethical, unscrupulous financial managers handling your money, this point is moot. I watched a financial manager advise my husband in 2000 to hold on to stocks when the market was sinking like a rock. I knew there was something wrong, but could not get my husband to believe me. He chose to follow the advice of our advisor. We basically lost everything. Which brings up another point, I personally don't believe retirements should be gambled in investments in the market anyway. So my question would be, how are you going to teach people to spot people who advise inappropriately? Many of these people are smooth talkers who can spin market conditions. The laws that were put in place after the market crash put a fiduciary responsibility clause on financial advisors. Thats now gone. So in short, you can educate people all you want, but if they are being represented by people who are incompetent or cheats its not going to make any difference. These people and their companies should be held accounted! They are the proclaimed experts. You cannot expect to give someone a few hours of financial education and say they are financially responsible. You are merely passing the buck and removing that fiduciary responsibility that all financial managers should have. How do I know this, because I now have an MBA. I only spotted what was going on because I was studying graduate level corporate finance at the time. I don't think everyone would get that level of education in a public or private financial literacy class.

Hell yes they think socialism is good! Need to get rid of lib teachers.

Financial literacy is the best gift you can give to an American child. I firmly believe Republicans push against this because their business plan for the past 40 years is to dumb down the nation sprinkled with fear and hate so they can manipulate the populous to vote against their own interest while controlling all those in debt.

Smarter consumers

The more educated our citizens are the better our country will be.

Absolutely, with a focus on women.

Congress takes full advantage of the fact that too many Americans know very little about how money actually works.

Great for the economy, it would be nice who wants us to remain ignorant.

Encourage complete financial education. Instruct on things like the Rule of 72 for example.

People today need to learn how to manage their money. There should be finical classes offered at no cost to them to teach them how to properly handle their income and other finances. If they understand the system they can help themselves from going into debt, manage their student loans, and make big purchases such as a house or car.
