Kay Hagan visits Lexington, offers up big government solution to the financial meltdown:

Hagan said financial literacy is part of the solution. Educating all North Carolinians, especially students and seniors, would hopefully prevent another sub-prime mortgage crisis. She cited a bill she filed last year as a state senator which would fund math teachers in every N.C. high school to teach a five-day course on financial literacy.

She also said she would support federal funding of programs which educate seniors on “deceptive sweepstakes and telemarketing schemes and insurance fraud by long-term care insurers.”

A true ‘cradle-to-grave’ view of government.
