Not so bad, really. Can’t believe I missed the spending question. I’m going to blame it on being still half-asleep. Take the quiz here.

only surprise is that I out answered you. Would have never expected that. Love your fun Friday’s what took so long today. Reading all the comments about the City Manager’s bailout package
I’ve been a little under the weather. Just read thru the comments on that post – wow.
Hope you feel better soon. Whatever it is seems to be going around a lot — not serious, but lingering.
The thing is, in the spending question, they have a rather limited view of the word “welfare.”
In fact, the federal government now spends 7.57% of GDP on Health Care, and 6.12% on Defense.

If we include the State governments, the government spending on education is also more than on defense.
I did manage to get 12 of 12. Hoo-rah!
I did badly. I missed the spending question and also thought less of the TARP was repaid.
