Is this proof that the US education system isn't as bad as it is usually portrayed?

According to the this poll, people around the world overwhelmingly approve of Obama's economic policies. It seems that US investors understand economics better than the rest of the world. http://news.yahoo.com/s/bloomberg/20090723/pl_bloo...

    Don't know what the opinion of people around the world has to do with the US education system.

    You need to remember that, in reality, other economies around are in competition with that of the US. Maybe their approval is because Obama's policies will weaken the US economy (both in the US and overseas) and strengthen other economies around the world.

    China's economy is booming because many manufacturing jobs went there and the US imports a majority of goods sold in the US from China.

  • People approve of them because he is handing out money left and right, all it will do in the end is drive inflation higher and ruin our economy that much more, you cant borrow from yourself to pay yourself, it just doesn't work.

    I disagree with those who would say that obama doesn't understand economics. You have to know the system to be able to break it.

    Obama doesn't have a clue about economics. I would expect more knowledge from an eighth grader.

    People around the world are certainly no brighter than we are and probably are fairly clueless about Obama's economic policies. They like Obama, so they like his policies.

    The US has the best education...as long as it is about our own country. As anyone where a country is, other than Iraq and Afghanistan, and we are clueSome still think our closest neighbor still live in igloos.

    The problem is that our high schools are very bad but our college education is the best in the world. Why do you think all the indians/chinese come here?
