Today issue on Ric's list of 34 election topics centers on various education-related topics, including critical race theory and student loans and the historical debate between states' rights and federalism in shaping education policy today. Plus, a listener expresses her confusion about financial terms like ROI, accrual ratio, and financial leverage ratio. Ric explains that these concepts are interconnected and cautions against drawing conclusions from single data points in investment analysis.
