I dont think that having a major in economics helps the president that much, thats mainly for the federal reserver, monetary comittee, etc to decide. If people wanted to elect a businessman into office they would have gave Ross perot a chance.
Granted, when you know nothing you can always throw away 145 billion dollars on a tax rebate to people. (That way you can cover up the fact that you never knew something like 70% of the money americans spend is on foreign products and doesnt really help our economy any…but it does help foreign ones!)
I dont think any president is truly going to be making economic decisions…the advisors they appoint will.
Oh, but I do like seeing people squirm due to a lack of knowledge…and would love to see McCain somehow shift the conversation away from the economy during debates.
