51. We took US government and that was it. No econ classes whatsoever or personal finance.

There was no field trip, and there was no lesson on what the parties are or their platforms. All you learn is the simple structure of the government, a run through of what the Bill of Rights are and maybe a quiz on it, and that's it.

You wouldn't learn for instance what would happen to the US economy if you dropped to zero taxes on rich people and pushed the burden onto poor and working class people, which is why most people here in Mississippi continually vote for Republicans.
