Today, Contessa "educated" a conservative Representative that without the bailout, the country would be in "a depression." Rep. Mo Brooks (R-AL) said he disagreed which prompted the MSNBC host to ask him if he had a degree in economics. "Yes ma'am, I do. Highest honors," Rep. Brooks responded. According to his Congressional page: "Mo graduated from Duke University in three years with a double major in political science and economics, with highest honors in economics. In 1978, he graduated from the University of Alabama Law School."

To: Godwinson, lucysmom, jwpegler, Gatlin (#41) The congressman is not a an economist the way Joe the plumber is not a licensed plumber. A couple of points here for Godwinson and lucysmom and any other Democrat 'progressives'. First, the congress critter didn't say he was an economist. He said he had a degree which has been established he can say without contradiction except by people like you who give us living breathing Democrats a very bad reputation for being insulting, condescending, arrogant, self- appointed 'experts'. Second, I have several 'degrees' not one of which actually describes my 'occupation'...and in spite of having attended the LSE as is common for those of us fortunate enough to have served our country abroad, I know I know less about economics than the congressman displayed in his dialogue with Ms. Brewster. Third, you two have an awful reputation for failing to respond to legitimate inquiries when your statements are clearly out of line and once again bring my side of the left/right divide into disrepute. Fourth, it is too hot and uncomfortable to spend too much time beating down a dead ringer for an insipid twit, so go off somewhere to sulk and remove the temptation. P.S. Direct me to Mz. Brewster's cv if you will. harrowup  posted on  2011-07-21   15:37:06 ET  Reply   Trace   Private Reply   #43.

The managerial economics major at UC Davis goes beyond the limits of traditional economics and business majors, blending a thorough grounding in economic theory with business knowledge and applications. You will specialize in at least one of three options: managerial economics, which focuses on evaluating, financing and managing business activities; environmental and resource economics, which focuses on issues related to use of resources and environmental quality; or agricultural economics, which focuses on the business aspects of producing and marketing foods and fibers. The real- world focus of this major provides ideal preparation for transition into the business world or to postgraduate business administration programs. Real World Managerial economics majors from UC Davis have entered careers in every area of business and industry, including marketing, analysis, consulting and financial service. They work with organizations such as Apple Computer, Deloitte & Touche, Mervyn's, Bogle Vineyards and Pacific Bell. Many have also become entrepreneurs, launching businesses in areas as diverse as real estate and magazine publishing. Others have entered advanced degree programs in business management, resource planning and law. Major Requirements You will begin your study with a series of core courses in management, economics, calculus and statistics, and either social, natural or agricultural sciences. You will then focus your studies on your specific area of interest, selecting courses in topics such as marketing, taxation, international commodity and resource markets, the role of government in business regulation, real estate and other investments. Many students choose to challenge themselves by enrolling in an honors senior seminar, where they develop projects on areas of personal interest (recent topics have included "The Effects of Tobacco PAC Contributions on Tobacco Legislation" and "What Drives Internet Sales?").
