Surprise, surprise, the answer is NO!! That is my position from watching college educated people try to run rough shod over non-college educated people. Specifically, college educated politicians in position of power in Washington D.C. I think it is safe to say that 100% of politicians have graduated from some college, usually one of distinction and renown. I think it is also safe to say that 90% of them are clowns who shouldn’t be allowed to manage a car wash, much less a government department.
How does a college operate? Simple. A college professor writes a book and then makes it part of his program, thus insuring sales. Now where did that professor get his education? from reading books written by his instructor. Its all about book learning, not practical experience and it is practical experience that makes things work. Here’s an example. In order to get an electrical license, the electrician must know - as in intimately — the National Electrical Code (NEC). He/she must know formulas, calculations, conduit fill, amperage wire sizes and a thousand other need to knows. He/she must have the practical experience to install that conduit, size wires and pull the wires into the coduit. He/she must know, not guess, how to install an electrical system. That is practical experience.
Now, an electrical engineer has spent four years reading about how to do the same thing but doesn’t have the practical experience, they haven’t dug a ditch and installed the conduit, they haven’t pulled one wire and gotten their hands dirty. Yet they have the final say over the job and if they are wrong, the guy/girl in the ditch gets the blame. They don’t have the practical experience.
An aspiring politician has sat through four years of class room work but hasn’t the slightest idea of how the real world works, they lack practical experience. They do know how to rob Peter to pay Paul, juggle accounting books and make themselves look good in order to avoid criticism for the lack of practical knowledge. Just look at our present sitting administration. They have put the United States (read that American citizens) billions of dollars into debt and have the slightest clue as to how we’re going to pay it off. That’s where creative bookkeeping comes in handy. Call it slight of hand, they distract us from the real problem while giving us false hope. Does anyone really think that all this economic stimulas is about the American people. If you do, then get your head out of your a** and smell the roses. Its all about corporate America and bailing them out, not the American taxpayer. Its all about making them a profit at the expense of the age earner.
I must admit that I was anxious to hear how Obama would apply his problem solving skills to our problems as he campaigned for President, only to be disappointed as he plowed right into helping his campaign backers, those who handled him expertly before and after. Obama is now in the White House, for another 3 1/2 years and living the dream of every minority. It is unfortunate that he chose dept heads with little or no street smarts, a prime example of a college education going to waste. Obama is not helping the American people, he is repaying his campaign promises, at our expense. Maybe he can get a refund.
