A campaign is underway by the conservative-leaning Employment Policies Institute to raise awareness about debt reduction. The group’s Defeat the Debt effort says that of all members of congress, “over three-quarters lack an academic background in business or economics.” The number is based on an examination of college degrees held by members of the U.S. Congress.
