Austerity

I've lived in the United States...

Nice stories you got there, but not sure what you want to prove by them? Western European crime rates are consistently lower by a lot than the American ones, in every category. We don't have an equivalent of Compton. Not that this side of the pond is utopia but America is just in a league of its own when it comes to crime in developed nations, sad but true.

and how much bigger is the US?

back in the 80's (i think) with all of the drugs going around in england (i think) was a pretty bad time. that was like Compton.

Good for not having any preperation. 76.79 is bad though.

You and I have good scores. jdj's score is bad. I attribute my knowledge of good and bad (and ugly) to extensive upper level study of Obomanomics. And our collective participation in M/W/F gym class in high school in the 60's which also is the main reason we defeated the Soviet Union.

Please read Chapters 64 through 698. Expect this study question to be on the quiz.

Obamanomics:

The science of turning a recession into a great depression through out-of-control deficit spending, printing money, borrowing money from our enemies, and confiscating money from the private sector in the form of massive tax increases to "add or save" government jobs at a cost of $563,872 per job (according to Obama's recovery.gov 05/05/2010) and an average salary of $42,000.

Dogman have you grown a few inches in recent months or that just your pituitary bulging out of your forehead? Has someone important with real things to do hijacked your account? If it spreads to your ovaries you could experience bloating, fatigue and an acute sense for pink and childrearing.

You do know that deficit spending pulled us out of the actual Great Depression, right?
Also, are you against taxes? If not, why do you call it "confiscating money from the private sector"?
