Default Take the civics quiz

http://americancivicliteracy.org/resources/quiz.aspx

Are you more knowledgeable than the average citizen? The average score for all 2,508 Americans taking the following test was 49%; college educators scored 55%. Can you do better? Questions were drawn from past ISI surveys, as well as other nationally recognized exams.

I got three wrong and scored just over 90%.

Ya beat me by two Mouse, but I know you're lying.

That one on government spending was stupid! How is spending the same per person?

^ Actually, I would think old timers would know more about this stuff. Don't you become more conservative as you get older?

Me too. And 4 of the 5 I missed were so obvious afterward. I can't believe I missed them.

They're talking about per capita or average spending per person... Obviously there are those who are contributors and those who are leeches...
