[quote=Anonymous]Personal finance is good, but so would be a math for citizenry course. People should understand that student loans carry higher interest rates than mortgages because they are unsecured. They should understand probabilities. As government gets more and more into health care they need to understand why not paying for a pap smear every years may be the rational choice when health care dollars are limited. And there are many, many more examples where citizens literate in the math of everyday political choices would be better informed when they go to vote.[/quote]
