30 oo 33.

I don't agree with some of the supposed correct answers especially the one about government spending.

I think that was one of the more accurate questions on the test. Assuming you're asking about

"Which of the following fiscal policy combinations has the federal government most often followed to stimulate economic activity when the economy is in a severe recession?"

Nope.

This one:

"If taxes equal government spending, then:"

and their answer is:

"tax per person equals government spending per person on average".

I did not quite utilize my total understanding of the collectivist concept of "spending per person".

" You answered 32 out of 33 correctly — 96.97 %

If you have any comments or questions about the quiz, please email americancivicliteracy@isi.org.

You can consult the following table to see how citizens and elected officials scored on each question."

"Incorrect Answers

Question: What was the source of the following phrase: “Government of the people, by the people, for the people”?
Your Answer: U.S. Constitution
Correct Answer: Gettysburg Address"

A lot of the "History' questions were relatively easy since they were current events at some point in my 77 years... :patriot:

I could not get to the table mentioned. :confused5
