If you're too damn lazy to look at the link (you're going to hate this post shortly), take a look at this picture that I definitely took from the article:
Now you may say, "Well Nameth, those numbers don't look all bad! Who really needs to know what Tim 'Turbo Tax' Geithner's job is? Much less the unemployment rate, what automaker is not getting billions of dollars to fund union pensions, who's determining the ultimate short- and mid-term fate of the economy (Bernanke), what the Dow (the standard barometer of the American economy) is doing, the regional standing of two of the more turbulent nations on the planet, what Obama is going to do in a war he won the Presidency with pure gleaming rhetoric involving, and how many of our own soldiers have died in the hopes of stabilising the scorching, sandy, hostile Hell-hole that is the Middle-East."
You're right. Who really needs to know that? Nobody who votes, that's for sure.
For the ultimate in disgust, take their ultra-simple, twelve-question quiz and you had best feel horror at the breakdown of the numbers you get afterwards. Spoilers: It's pretty bad, and people under 30 are dumber than you thought.
