10 out of 10. I have to admit I only knew the answers to about half of them, but the way the test was written, the correct answers were obvious. This tests how well you test.

DanaC · 07-12-2012, 08:05 AM

Most of what i know I only know from the Cellar. And the Daily Show, natch.

Because half of Americans don't want to know, or won't accept the truth/facts.

I don't agree glatt. Some of the "wrong" answers sounded a lot like the negative hype I hear from the naysayers. The frothing over death panels, for example. Clearly wrong, but there are folks who listen to such feeds might equally conclude that the answer is "obvious"; they'd be wrong, but they'd be confident.

Still, not a hard test, not a rigorous test. It reveals a lot about the free-floating bullshit out there.

10 out of 10. It's depressing how uniformed Americans in general are. If they are going to apply the various voter restriction laws, then I think they should add a test on current events to the list. 90% of would be voters would fail that one.

9/10 - I missed the one about whether the law would create gov't run insurance programs. But still better than 97% of Americans, according to them.

I am... the 3%.

Pico and ME · 07-12-2012, 01:21 PM

I missed the first one because I knew NOT EVERYONE would be forced to get insurance PAY A FINE. The answer even said there will be exceptions....

Ibby · 07-12-2012, 02:49 PM

yeah my problem with it is that the questions were just badly worded and not-strictly-accurate

Did they change the wording?

Saw this on FB. My original assumption was that it was more BS from Heritage, but then I saw the reference to the CBO...

Thoughts?

Would you like to interpret this table for us...

classicman · 07-22-2012, 10:07 PM

Actually, I was kinda hoping for your help with that.
