If you dont score at least 80% on this, quit now

[The Rabbi]

OK its nut cutting time. We have lots of debates on economics, with the libs (usually but not always) displaying their gross ignorance of the topic. So here it is. Take this quiz. Have it graded. If you score anything below 80% (70%0 is the average) then you have no business engagng in any thread that deals with economics.
Anyone griping about "biased questions" or "conservative bias" will be assumed to have failed the test.
Go. Make all marks heavy and black.

Quiz Your Economic Literacy and See How You Rank Against Your Peers

Since we already know you're economically illiterate any good score you claim has to be a lie.

For the people not getting 100%, which questions did you get wrong?

 

[Missourian]

a blow job from rabbi?

95%, missed question 12 on resources.

That was weak question. You probably picked B, but I think the question was premised on resources being limited, period, with no way to find additional resources.
