Default Re: Does The US Need A Secretary Of Personal Finance?

No, but I would argue that personal finance and money management should be emphasized to our children in school, as this is currently not really a part of the learning program. It's hard to imagine that a 7th grader is able to do trigonometry problems but doesn't know the first thing about keeping a budget or balancing a check book.
