Epic GOP quiz....

Let's take a quiz:
(1) Rank the following presidents by who increased the deficit the most (going most to least): Carter, Reagan, Bush I, Clinton, Bush II. Hint: you should start with the three Republicans.

(2) Rank the following in terms of projected cost: W tax cuts, Medicare Part D, healthcare bill, stimulus bill. Hint: Again, you should start with the two passed during a Republican administration.

(3) Which party wants to limit medically necessary procedures, who can serve in the military, who can get married, and what religions can build buildings in which places (leaving aside NY, I don't recall any terrorist attacks in Tennessee)? Hint: It isn't the one that wants to provide people healthcare so they can live their lives without the threat of financial ruin if they get sick.

(4) Explain: Why would increased government regulation of healthcare insurance leads to increased healthcare rationing. Hint: Insurance companies exist to make a profit.

(5) How many national academies of science of industrialized (and semi-industrialized) countries share your view on climate change (including countries with every political and economic reason to share your view like China and India)? Hint: If you guess 1, you are guessing too high.

(6) True or False: The Flinstones is a documentary series. Hint: The model of a little boy riding a dinosaur at the Creationism Museum may not be entirely accurate.
