So I have a great plan for 2020 election.
But I need your help.
So here it is. Every candidate for president and for Congress has to take a certification test to make sure they know about government, the economy, entitlement programs, Foreign Affairs, and the military.
They would have to take this test and the results would have to be made public.
Why am I proposing this? Two reasons. The first is I just passed my insurance certification. It was not easy. It required a lot of study. It forced me to learn a lot of things that would make sure I would protect people looking for insurance or retirement products.
That got me thinking. How come I have to be tested and qualified to sell insurance. But lawmakers who could do a lot more damage don’t have to prove they’re qualified.
Doctors and lawyers have to do it. Even hairdressers and massage therapists have to do it.
Why not the most important positions in our country that could determine success or failure of our citizens?
