HIGH-RISK SERIES Efforts Made to Achieve Progress Need to Be Maintained and Expanded to Fully Address All Areas
Appendix I: What Is the History of the High-Risk Program? Bookmark: In 1990, we began a program to report on government operations that we identified as “high risk.” Since then, generally coinciding with the start of each new Congress, we have reported on the status of progress addressing high-risk areas and have updated the High-Risk List.

The good news for policymakers is that there is a simple way to make voters happier on both fronts: They can increase the number of states requiring K-12 financial education. Currently, only half of the states in the U.S. require at least one course in either economics or personal finance for high-school graduation, according to data from the Council for Economic Education.

‘Prove Me Wrong.’ I Think Investing in CDs Is a Better Deal Than Working With an Advisor
Ask an Advisor: ‘Prove Me Wrong.’ I Think Investing in CDs Is a Better Deal Than Working With an Advisor Why hire a financial advisor who will take around 1{9f99fe44fce1aa3c813d0a0ce4da2fbea8a5a58e9d85c4a2927dd8140cb676b5} percent of your assets per year when you can get a certificate of deposit (CD) at over 5{9f99fe44fce1aa3c813d0a0ce4da2fbea8a5a58e9d85c4a2927dd8140cb676b5} with no fee?
