I’d argue that E. (government pays for its construction, not citizens) for 29 ought to get at least 1/2 credit 8-)

Can I get some bailout $billions out of this?

I’m sorry, at 100% you were far too successful to qualify for Bailout Billions™, the new game by HasbeenBro. Bailout Billions are only available to miserable failures. However, at 100%, you do qualify for Sacrificial Lamb Status. Much like taxpayers who didn’t default on their mortgages are now paying (via devalued dollars) for companies threatening to fail due to investment in mortgage-backed securities, you must now retake the test for each of us that missed questions and provide the right answers.

Missed 7 & 13. Despite what Paul says, I think 33 could be clearer. I get the whole debt vs. deficit thing, but like Akston, I got hung up on what the right answer would be before finally going with the taxes & spending per person being equal.

I think #27 has two potentially correct answers, but it is somewhat obvious which one of the two they are looking for.

I read 30 to be “Which of the following fiscal policy combinations should a government most likely follow”. As to what they would follow, wouldn’t that depend on the people in government at the time?

On 33 “If taxes equal government spending, then…” I realize the algebra involved (t=s, therefore t/p = s/p), but I my first couple readings assumed “government spending per person” meant spending on that person, rather than spending supported by that person. My mistake.

As for 4 and 8, I have no excuse. :-)

Missed #30. Governments have reacted in all sorts of ways. FDR responded by raising taxes and spending. Bush lowered taxes (this is debatable) and raised spending.

Please don’t feed this troll.

#33 is the one I missed as well. Sounds to me like that was a very poorly worded question if it got all three of us.

Missed #11 & #33.

I missed questions 27, 29, 30, & 33.
