Scott Walker - America's answer to Stephen Harper?

[Lincoln Republican]

Harper has a Master's Degree in Economics, he is brilliant.

Walker is not in Harper's league.

A master's in econ isn't that impressive........I mean, a BS in engineering is loads harder.

Depends entirely on your field of endeavor my friend.

A Bachelor of Science Degree in engineering is certainly what you need in pursuing a career in the engineering field, however, a Master's Degree in Economics is infinitely more useful if you are the leader of a G-7 nation.

A BSC in engineering is not necessarily any harder to earn than a Master's in economics, depending on your mind set and your focus.

I too have a Master's Degree in Economics. Do I get to be Prime Minister of Canada also?

Congratulations to you on that most impressive designation you have achieved.  That is a real accomplishment in my estimation.

I am sure you would make a fine Canadian Prime Minister, however, there would be many obstacles in your path along the way, and some may prove insurmountable.

[Lincoln Republican]

You would not want an expert in designing bridges as Chair of the Federal Reserve Board of Governors, for example.   

Janet Yellen, Chair of the Federal Reserve Board of Governors has a PhD in economics from Yale.

Graduate degrees in economics and engineering both have their valued and necessary places in society.

It's like comparing apples and oranges. 

[Lincoln Republican]

Uh, no.  There is no comparison.  Unlike Scott Walker, Stephen Harper has brains -love him or hate him, you have to give him that.

That's what comparing apples to oranges means.  It means you can't compare them.  They're different.

And like I said previously, Stephen Harper is brilliant.

I do not consider Walker to be brilliant.

[Lincoln Republican]

HW was not corrupt.

Barbara would never have let him.
