I was thinking the other day about how little most of our politicians seem to know about economics and I had an idea. How about a new rule: In order to run for office, a person must take an SAT style exam on all the things related to their job. This would include economics 101, constitutional law, business, US & world history, a few questions on current events, and maybe even an ethics section.
A person would not have to pass this exam in order to run for office. In fact, there would be no "passing" score. Instead, the results of each section as well as their overall score would be posted for everyone to see. This would help their constituents make a much more informed decision about what their candidates actually know.
