Additional Finding
Elected Officials Score Lower than the General Public

Officeholders typically have less civic knowledge than the general public. On average, they score 44%, five percentage points lower than non-officeholders.

    * Thirty percent of elected officials do not know that “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness” are the inalienable rights referred to in the Declaration of Independence.


So how did you do?

Shoot, I'm not happy that I missed any to tell the truth.!

[tombogan03884]

The ones I missed were about Government building projects, (29) and Free trade (31) not my strong subjects any way.

30 out of 33 but I think #33 has two correct answers;

33)   If taxes equal government spending, then:
A. government debt is zero
B. printing money no longer causes inflation
C. government is not helping anybody
D. tax per person equals government spending per person
E. tax loopholes and special-interest spending are absent

Correct answer is D but I think A is equally true.

No because it does not take into account any debt previously existing

Where does it say that there is pre-existing debt?
