32/33 correct. Got the following wrong:

Question: 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?

Your Answer: increasing both taxes and spending

Correct Answer: decreasing taxes and increasing spending

I thought it was asking what the government *really* did, not what it *ought* to do...

Cheers!

[WePledge]

Missed only one about what govt. does during recession.
Still think I’m right; tax&spend

[Fledermaus]

30/33...one incorrect, the other two were vague.

91% 30/33

[Flash Bazbeaux]

32/33 — missed the Gettysburg Address question. I knew the phrase was in there, but I did not realize it was new. I thought Lincoln was referring to an already known phrase.

I missed one when this was posted a couple of months ago.

Obviously, I had to cram for the finals.

I’m not even American but I scored 33 out of 33 for 100%. That surprised me but on reflection I give credit to this website. FR has been a great teacher for many years. I have learned a lot from it and all who post here.

I was absent the day ...uh ... well take the test guys.

[AFreeBird]

Dang, 84.85% - 28/33

Misread a couple of questions. Oh well. What is telling is that, on average, the citizens are more informed on the subject matter than the politicos.

There’s a shocker... Not.

[Logic n' Reason]

90.91% .... 30 out of 33

Missed an easy one...and didn't read another carefully.

Story of my formal educational experience. Sister Mary Killakid would not be amused!
