Is the education system to blame for the stimulus package?

I got to thinking just now...
(yes, I know... dangerous... I'll try not to let it happen again...)

I wonder how much of this we can blame on our education system.

I graduated high school in 2000, if that helps you figure out whether or not you want to classify yourself in the "we" and "our" categories with me.

Growing up, we were all taught that the New Deal saved us all. We were taught that the government HAD to get involved, else we'd be no more.

I wonder how much of the socialism was worked into our education to convince the average American that the stimulus package is really necessary?

I don't know about you, but I was taught that the New Deal gave food, money, jobs, and puppies to everyone. Okay, maybe not puppies.

Anyways, I got to thinking after reading about Obama's narcissm at Dr. Sanity's blog.
