Dave Hansen, Honorary Chairperson for Money Smart Week. What vast knowledge can professor Hansen give to people? From Marketplace Today
Oh yes, I can hear him now.
The art of saying a fee increase is not a tax increase!
The art of raising people's car insurance and blame the insurance companies and not the bill they passed in Madison.
The art of calling a tipping fee increase not a tax increase!
The art of calling a $5-$6 billion, (who really knows how much), budget deficit a balanced budget.
Who set this up and put Hansen as chairperson?
This is CRAZY!

Money Smart Week, the fourth annual statewide financial literacy campaign, is being held this week.
The kickoff for the week’s events will be at the UW–Green Bay Student Union Phoenix Room today at 5:30 p.m. Money Smart Kids — middle and high school students — for the Greater Green Bay Area for 2009 will be announced at the kickoff, along with other dignitaries.
Honorary Chairperson for Money Smart Week Green Bay is state Sen. David Hansen (D–Green Bay). The keynote presentation, “The M Word: An Honest Conversation About Money,” will be presented by Alan Blake, Maureen Jorgenson and Frank Korf.
Money Smart Week Wisconsin is a creation of the Governor’s Council on Financial Literacy in cooperation with the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago and the Wisconsin Department of Financial Institutions. Money Smart Week is based on an idea created by the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago with the goal of helping families, students, homeowners, businesspersons, employees and other community members expand their opportunities through financial literacy.
The week is set up to provide workshops, seminars, programs, events and other activities for all ages aimed at improving financial literacy. With a soaring amount of personal debt and a record high number of bankruptcies, the lack of financial literacy in America is a problem of epidemic proportions:
* More than half of Americans are not putting aside enough to maintain anything like our present standard of living upon retirement. By 2010, 78 million Americans will be 65 or older. One in three has no retirement savings.
* It costs the average American family more than $200,000 to raise a child to 18.
* Only 32 percent of American parents talk to their children regularly about personal finance.
* The average credit-card debt among 25- to 34-year-olds was $5,200 in 2004, 98 percent higher than in 1992.
The week’s activities are coordinated and put on by a partnership group that includes financial institutions, community groups, local government agencies, schools and colleges for individuals of all ages.
