Almost there!

Another school year is upon us and it is an exciting time to be studying Civics and Economics. There is so much going on in politics and the economy that you can't turn on the television or radio without hearing something about government and the economy.

This school year we have the Primary Elections ahead of next year's general election. In 2012 we will be voting on just about ALL government positions from President all the way down through local positions in the state General Assembly and local government, such as County and City Boards of Commissioners! The economy continues to struggle, unemployment and prices tied to the economy of Europe and the Arab Spring in the Middle East.

I hope you are getting ready for exciting topics and discussions, I know I am. Good luck and let's get ready for a great semester together.
