    Poor guy doesn’t know who is underpaying him, nor who is overcharging him.

      We haven’t properly educated people on the different levels of government in at least 20 years. So this shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone.

      We could easily fill a semester with American Government if we tackled things like who administers Medicaid.

      Instead we have a single video (Mr. Bill), a movie showing D.C. is horribly corrupt (Mr Smith Goes To Washington), and a single chart showing the three branches, and then it’s time to copy down more dates, names, and events!
