Fewer than half of Americans can name all three branches of government, survey finds

Just ask Rick Perry... "There's the Executive, the Judicial and.. there's one more.. what's the third one? OOOPS!"

LOL.. poor Rick, but he was rewarded with the agency he couldn't name under the trump admin.

Biden can't even name the people in his Administration, so there is that, you know, the guy who runs that outfit over there:

 
One thing I learned from this forum. I used to think I was debating a particular issue, then realized the person really did not understand how government operates.

You don't debate dipshit. You lie, you whine a lot and you bloviate abject stupidity most of the time. You're a clueless dweeb full of projection and TDS. :laugh:
 
Congratulations. It is a triumph of leftist education policies and a major milestone on the road to the idiocracy!

Was it "leftist education" that eliminated grade school classes in civics, that changed reading books to reading social media?

School boards set curriculums, not teachers unions. The dumbing down in this country has been a general societal transformation, not a political exercise.

More dumb lie filled bullshit. I don't think you can post without looking stupid. :palm:

Really? You’re doubling down on this idiot’s vast knowledge of the structure of the American government? Lurch seems to think the 3 branches of government are the executive, the judicial, and the energy. Perry was asked about federal DEPARTMENTS he would eliminate, not branches of government. But this is indicative of the state of the American educational system that has had a jackass boot on it’s neck for decades.

On a similar note, I find it hilarious, sad, and frightening at the same time that these are the very same people you want voting for jackass fuckheads like pResident tater head, because he’s gonna forgive those student loans you got for your worthless education.
 
Americans’ understanding of basic facts about the U.S. government declined for the first time in six years, as fewer than half in a new survey could name all three branches of government.

The Annenberg Public Policy Center’s annual Constitution Day Civics Survey found a significant drop in the percentage of Americans who could name all three branches of government — executive, legislative, and judicial — falling by 9 percentage points from a year earlier.

About a quarter of Americans surveyed could not name a single branch.

Actually Rick Perry was naming the three Federal agencies he wanted to eliminate, not the three branches of the government, when he forgot the Department of Energy
 
I can both name them all.

Yet I think it is almost completely, irrelevant whether most Americans can name them or not.

No offense.


However - I find it far more important that most Americans do not realize (or seem to mind) that the Federal Reserve is a for-profit, privately owned corporation.
Whose shareholders are secret.
That can instantly create - without Congressional knowledge/approval - any sum of American 'money' they wish.
And give that money to virtually any person or institution that they desire...whether American or foreign.
And purchase any business/corporation they care to (whose shares are available for purchase).
Again...all without Congressional approval or knowledge.

I think you are a little confused about who owns the Federal Reserve and how it works.
It is owned by the US banks and the banks are restricted to only owning stock equal to 6% of their capitalization.
https://www.federalreserve.gov/aboutthefed/section5.htm
The profits of the Federal Reserve are maxed out at 6% of its Capitol stock and any excess monies above its reserve fund goes to the US Treasury.

https://www.federalreserve.gov/aboutthefed/section7.htm

They can't create money except by loaning money. By doing this they can loosen or tighten the money supply.

Thank God for leftist polices and education. 15 years ago only 33% could name all three branches.
