Missed one. I would get a zero on American Idol, though.

They’re right. Decreasing spending allows companies/citizens to keep more of their money... to hopefully spend.

Furthermore, more government spending means more money paid to companies... which then hire people and pay them money (which they then keep more of, due to point 1).

One wonders how many people would have been allowed to vote if you had to score a passing grade on this test beforehand? We have to pass a written test to obtain a driver’s license, but not to vote? Hmmm...

My question is: How many ballots were cast “in a language other than English”?
