I got 12 right-—troop numbers was a lucky guess.

I missed three:

1. Do you happen to know if the national unemployment rate is currently closer to: They say closer to 10%. I and many other responsible people believe it is really closer to 15%. You have to factor in those that quit looking, self employed people who close the biz and are looking for work but don’t count in any government survey, and CPA’s working at Burger King.

2. Is health care spending per person in the U.S. higher, lower, or about the same as in most major European nations?
I said we were lower, but what do I know? They say higher and that is probably right.

3. About how many U.S. military personnel are currently in Afghanistan: I said 150k... They say 70k.. On that one I guessed.

12 of 12. I am awed and appalled that 6% of the people who bothered to take the thing seem to have made “0.”

Right like Max Bacchus, I know him if I see him in a list but never could have pulled the name out my brain without prompting.

I wouldn’t be terribly surprised if stock market level is the one most missed by the “missed one” folks. If you don’t have money directly in the market you have little reason to pay attention to it beyond relative level and direction.

Troops in Afghanistan will be higher than 70K but not yet.

That was the only one I missed - but it was not a difficult quiz.

Have to remember who is educating our children - that 70% is sad and disgusting.

I think there should be a 10 question generic quiz on the Constitution before entering the voting booth. 7 out of 10 or you don’t get to vote.
