Civics lesson

I got 33 of 33 questions right.

Take the test yourself

31/33, but I got one wrong because I hit the wrong key. The one I really got wrong was the debt vs. deficit one. That was my fault - I was bored and didn't read all the options closely.

That question was actively misleading, though. The "correct" answer requires that you implicitly assume a mean over the whole population when calculating deficits and revenues "per person".
