Good test.

Lower taxes and increase spending to get out of a recession.  I'm guessing Obama got that half right.

Haz - debt is independent of taxes collected and government spending. All government spending isn't applied to eliminate debt, else the welfare recipients would riot.  ;D

Me: Naw, we just apply a gun-shaped remedy to those extreme life threatening situations that call for it. All the less urgent problems we're willing to discuss.

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

It does not say there is pre-existing debt.

But it does  not say there is  no pre-existing debt, so that is a possibility.

A. will only be true as long as there is no pre-existing debt, where as the correct answer will be true regardless.

Also, debt might be incurred without spending.   Liability in a law suit could be counted as debt without spending

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.

31 out of 33 and I agree with Haz - answer what the question asks, not what you assume is included in background material  ;)

84.85%. That makes me a B student. College educators get a C, and the average American fails.
