The Rhino Times published a letter to the editor about Sunday’s Economy Jr event at Deep Roots in their January 16th issue:
PRACTICAL ECONOMICS
“DEAR EDITOR,
The opinions on what’s wrong with the economy span the political spectrum, but the solutions seem few and far between.
While it won’t solve the national debt overnight or Congress’s inability to balance a budget, I want to invite those concerned about our economic climate to do their part to educate the next generation on how the economy actually works by enrolling a young person in the free “Economy, Jr” financial and business literacy game taking place this Sunday, Jan. 19 from 2 to 3:30 p.m. at Deep Roots Market in Downtown Greensboro.”

Excerpt from the Letter to the Editor published in the News & Record Tuesday, January 15th about Economy, Jr.:
“The next generation deserves better than the economic malaise we find ourselves in.
Please help me chart a better course for the next generation by enrolling a young adult in the free “Economy, Jr.” financial and business literacy game taking place this Sunday, Jan. 19., from 2 to 3:30 p.m. at Deep Roots Market.” – Clicking here to read the rest
