      That darn Gettysburg Address has haunted me on quizzes like this since middle school.

          :D
          Seriously,

          As far as number 30 – I suppose I have a knee jerk reaction in the current climate to an increase in federal spending. I am not even sure I agree with the "right" answer.

          As for 33 I have no excuse, except I was rushing the quiz; hence, my embarrassment.

          What three questions did you miss?
          #27, I'm blaming it on the fact I thought it was a trick question. ;-)

          #13, I never had the patience for "the great thinkers".

          #15......I didn't know Jefferson could even write?
          I hear you but #27 is not a trick question..... ;-)

            67% Damn sport admin degree didn't help me on that one.

            Apparently I don't read too well. Or maybe I just went too fast. I wonder how many more excuses I can come up with?

              Ditto on #30.

              While I can't break it down, I have read opinions that New Deal spending actually made recovery take longer.

                Personally, I think what you read is accurate. FDR was a great president, especially during WWII, but his domestic policies in the 30s did very little except solidify his own political power and that of his party.

                Unfortunately, we are going to have to deal with the unjustified (and mythical) lionization of FDR’s domestic policies for quite a while now.

                    There are more nerve endings in your gut than there are in your brain. It's true. I didn't read that in a book. My gut told me.
