I blew the Max Baucus thing. I actually didn't know.
Missed 2 others but they're the same as others here commonly missed so I ain't bothered by the results. 10% my ass!!!! I marked 15 but I'd bet it's closer to 20. And I don't know how Americans compare in healthcare moneys spent so I threw a dart.

The national unemployment rate in this test of 10% is inaccurate because it does not take into account the people who have run out of benefits and are still unemployed. The current rate is closer to 24%-25%.  The 10% number is approx what the government is currently publishing. Other national polls are showing approx 20%. Was unsure who put the test out. Apparently was government operation with the 10% figure as answer. Scored well for a senile old red neck conservative that still thinks the USA is a CHRISTIAN nation. Would liked to have seen a field marking area for liberal/ conservative and the results of that. GW

But then I am an older male Republican with a college education.
I'm a geezer that flunked out because of marijuana and nookie,..and I got all 12 correct also.  BRISTOE: I'm thinking if it hadn't been for that nookie thing we would have both got 13 correct out of 12. Even at our age that nookie thing is stll gettin us in trouble. GW

10/12. I missed the Afghanistan question and the Health care spending. I guess I need to brush up on those two areas.
On a straight average of these questions 44.9% knew the answers. That means that 55.1% of the people who took the quiz didn't have a clue. 25% of the people who were smart enough to turn on a computer and somehow find this quiz don't know which political party controls the House of Representatives. 58% don't know enough geography to know where Israel and Iran are.
I wish I had never seen this. We need a pandemic.

Test your knowledge with 12 questions, then be ready to shudder when you see how others did. Take the test I scored 10 right. g I scored better than 93% of the population, i.e., 11 of 12.

11 - I disagree with them on how they are measuring unemployment but that's another issue.
Sad how little attention many folks pay to what's going on in the world. Yep, the real number is quite a bit higher, but the official report is 10%, so that creates confusion for that question.
