I keep and eye on the news stories that scroll through on the Yahoo Home Page for no real reason except every once in a while they have an unusual or funny story. Today I saw a discussion about the mint wanting to stop making the penny. On that page I saw a link to a quiz by the Kiplinger Group about the Federal deficit. I managed to score 50% but it opened my eyes to an interesting fact. Since the 1960s the only two presidents who managed to balance the budget and run a surplus were Johnson and Clinton. The Republicans apparently like to spend and spend. Then they call Democrats the Tax and Spend Party.

If you want to try the quiz here it is.
