    Re: ISI Civics Literacy Exam

    31/33 (93.94%).

    Dumbly missed the question about taxes equaling government spending as I thought the question was worded weirdly (I was expected it to say the budget deficit would be zero, instead they listed it as "tax per person equals government spending per person on average," which is true, but I kind of glossed over it). That subject is right up my alley given I am a current Master's student in Applied Economics, so LOL.

    And I missed the question: What was the source of the following phrase: “Government of the people, by the people, for the people”? I really wasn't sure about that one.
