The first three minutes of this video present the questions. I agree, they are a lot of fun to present Liberals with. (Some of the last twelve minutes discusses the origins of the Great Recession--and Barney Frank's underemphasized role--and is also interesting.)

When the money starts to run out, sooner or later, good sense will prevail.

Only three cities are evaluated. New York and Chicago get "F" grades, while Los Angeles gets a "D".

Oops. Big oops.

Makes sense to me. I bought my last car without setting foot in a dealership and I very much hope to continue that.

You know, two trillion galaxies is one heck of a lot of stuff.

This is based on expenditures, not physical quantities, so cost of living plays a role. Still, I'm surprised: San Diego?
