Time for a little fun...
This is a new Pew Research test you my not have seen yet. It surely indicates that the majority of Americans don't know what's going on.
Interesting and simple test. It's astonishing that so many people got less than half right. These results say that 80% of the (voting) public doesn't have a clue - and that's pretty scary.
There are no tricks here - just a simple test to see if you are current on your information.
The results are shocking.
Test your knowledge with 11 questions, then be ready to shudder when you see how others did... It will explain why Congress and the State Legislatures get away with the stuff they pull...

I'm realitively sure the quiz will confirm that most Grumpy Readers have a better grasp on what's going on in the world than the average American... So leave a comment and let everyone know how you did..
..
Americans aren't as fat as I thought... I guess that's good
ReplyDeleteYes Grumpy I thought they were fatter too. I also thought we spent more on interest than medicare. I missed 2.
ReplyDeleteI missed three. Thought we spent more on interest than Medicare, thought 50% were obese, and waffled on #11 - should have picked coal instead of hydroelectric. Oh well, guess I'm not as smart as I thought I was :-) LOL
ReplyDeleteStill did a lot better than most women...
ReplyDeleteI'm beginning to think there might be something to that 50%....
I also missed the Interest/Medicare question.
ReplyDeleteNow grumpy that was just a wee bit sexist. You know the lovely ladies who visit this site have their s--- together when it comes to politics and current events.
I got two wrong, do I get to get my job back now?
ReplyDeleteI got 3 wrong, do I get to go to the next grade or do I have to repeat the school year?
ReplyDeleteMarine.. did you read the stats?? Average for men is 6.1 correct, average for women according to PEW is 5.1.. that's 6 misses.. Yorimom and Fishy did great..
ReplyDeleteWhen I posted it I figured everyon who visits here has a better grasp of things than average..
Sandra you get promoted, but under Obama's Education reform program, the results will forever be in you Bill Gates Dossier at Arne Duncan's Department of Education..
ReplyDeleteYeah Grumpy I knew. Just giving you a hard time.
ReplyDeleteI am a little concerned Marine... we've had well over 200 hits this morning, only six people have said how they did...
ReplyDeleteEvidently anonymous and its various aliases were too embarrassed to reply. If it wasn't on huffy or kos, they haven't a clue.
ReplyDeleteNo Marine... the varmints haven't been by.. maybe the woman that owns 'em, wised up and put 'em in a cage.
ReplyDeleteEuthanize might be better. Isn't that what they do to rabid animals?
