>>20085305They used to teach this stuff in the US. Back in the 70's. We learned over and over that if our money was sitting in savings at a rate lower than inflation, we were losing money. We were taught if we can get credit at 2% and put it into an asset that gains 8% we were making free money. Not that you could get credit at 2% in the 70's, but we were taught it anyways.
No Child Left Behind was a mistake.
