Termyn8or -> RE: another from Mom: Test (11/27/2011 9:35:57 PM)

I got exactly the same score but I "missed" different questions.
"International trade and specialization most often lead to which of the following?
Your Answer: a decrease in a nation’s standard of living
Correct Answer: an increase in a nation’s productivity"
I disagree, fukum. Look around, you see anyone's standrd of living increasing lately ?
"Question: A flood-control levee (or National Defense) is considered a public good because:
Your Answer: citizens value it as much as bread and medicine
Correct Answer: a resident can benefit from it without directly paying for it"
Bullshit, we all pay for it. Some pay more than others but thaat's the breaks. And when it comes to levies, try your fancy bread and medicine when you are UNDER WATER.
"Question: If taxes equal government spending, then:
Your Answer: government debt is zero
Correct Answer: tax per person equals government spending per person on average"
The composers of that test have alot to learn about modern accounting, especially when it comes to the government.
"Question: Which of the following fiscal policy combinations has the federal government most often followed to stimulate economic activity when the economy is in a severe recession?
Your Answer: decreasing both taxes and spending
Correct Answer: decreasing taxes and increasing spending"
That assumes the credit is available and the debt service is possible. Debt service is now a VERY good size portion of the federal budget. How much interest do you want to pay ?
"Question: The United States Electoral College:
Your Answer: was ruled undemocratic by the Supreme Court
Correct Answer: is a constitutionally mandated assembly that elects the president"
Yeah, oh well. I guessed. I know the court does not rule on whether something is democratic or not. You should've seen the other answers.
"Question: In 1935 and 1936 the Supreme Court declared that important parts of the New Deal were unconstitutional. President Roosevelt responded by threatening to:
Your Answer: override the Supreme Court’s decisions by gaining three-quarter majorities in both houses of Congress
Correct Answer: appoint additional Supreme Court justices who shared his views"
That was also - not even a guess. I read the options and none of them sounded right. I know FDR stacked the supreme court, I know what happened and when I see that MF in hell I will be on the torture team. Wilson opened the door, FDR spotted the truck backing in to take our wealth. (in this context spotting means an outside guy to watch when a bog semi has to back up)
"Question: What was the main issue in the debates between Abraham Lincoln and Stephen A. Douglas in 1858?
Your Answer: Do Southern states have the constitutional right to leave the union?
Correct Answer: Would slavery be allowed to expand to new territories?."
Ain't that pretty much same difference ? Can these MFs tell us what to do or not ?
