My score: 11 out of 12. I blew the question on the percentage of Americans in poverty.

I got 11 out of 12 too - I thought Pakistan was controlled by ISIS, not Syria!

Same here. 11 out of 12. Missed the number of Americans living below the poverty line. With so many on food stamps and welfare I think it’s much higher.
To: upchuck
In the summary at the end, did you notice men outscored women on every question except the minimum wage? Found that interesting.

Do y’all think the questions are “fair and balanced?”
IMHO, there should have been at least one direct question about Obola.

Missed two..I thought “national debt interest” was the biggest expense, and 35% of Americans were below poverty line.

Got 11 of 12.. missed the poverty line question...
Pretty shocking how little people must watch the news...
14 % got ONLY 4 right...???
I think my dog pushing the key pad on any random answer could have just as good of a score or better...

I missed that one too. I do not believe only that small percent are at or below the poverty level. I guessed correctly about the greater expenditure Social Security vs debt, but question that one too. Why? Are they factoring in what people paid in to Social Security before they collected? It doesn’t say.

Seems like we need to second guess a couple of the bold faced lies. I missed unemployment in as much as the true rate is much higher when you figure in people who have stopped looking for work.
Figures lie but liars can figure.

12 out of 12...but I admit I guessed at the percentage of Americans living under our laughable “poverty level”.I say laughable because,having seen *real* poverty in Africa and Asia,I know that two thirds of the people in those continents would sell their souls to live like our “poor”.
