Whenever "adult" topics like that come up, whether on the radio or in conversation or whatever else, I'm surprised everytime my son pipes up with a comment.
The other day someone was complaining about high prices on avocados and wondering why... didn't even realize he was listening but he suddenly chimes in with "oh, thats the monster from jekyll island! Its not actually a real monster. The government can print money whenever they want! So that makes your money less expensive. And so you can buy less. So price is get higher." (He's starting 2nd grade soon).
Kids have an amazing capacity to learn and process whatever we expose them to. He understands our economy more than many adults. That's sad.
Exposing them to real fundamental truths of how money and the economy works shouldn't be something weird or radical in our society, yet somehow it is.
