Every candidate in the 2012 Election went to college and graduated. However, its has been decades since they stepped onto campuses. This article was questioning whether or not it is time for an Econ 101 refresher course. Colleges students say yes. They say that the ideas and policies that candidates have been offering would not go far in Econ 101 because there are many economic misstatements being made.
A Econ 101 teacher at Swarthmore College said ideas that these candidates offer would earn a failing grade in his class. Some ideas are Bachmann's promise to bring back $2 gas, Tim Pawlenty wanted to sustained 5% of GDP growth, and Rick Perry's balance of lower tax revenues.
Their ideas are irresponsible according to the economics class. They are said to be promising things that are impossible to deliver.
