    Academic titles are revered in Germany. Chancellor Angela Merkel and about every fifth lawmaker has a Ph.D. http://on.wsj.com/2f1AVjW  🔓

        I've dealt with the Germans. Sorry, that doctorate in Philosophy makes it tough for me to call you "Herr Doctor."

        and yet, merkel, with her phd, ran Germany into the ground. That's what the Dems would have done here.

        Per the recent prez election here, having a degree DECREASES the probability of a rational vote cast.

        So the reason for Europe's problems may be too much time spent in college by its leaders. I am serious!

        Nope. Issue is, Europeans under the impression that academic titles are good proxy for qualification. And vote accordingly.

        Their degrees didn't make German politicians smarter. The same can be said about our politicians with their Harvard and Yale degrees.
