The answer to that question is so easy that a 5-year-old can get it! It's the military spending, of course! In fact, the Pentagon has become a cancer on the national treasury!
Then I guess you're not that smart 5-year-old kid.
Military spending = $600 billion, they in fact are the winners. The average American are the losers.
In real news, and not an opinionated dribble, like the regular day to day crap we get involving car chases, neighborhood gang relates stuff, Fareed is a breath of fresh air, open minded, intelligent conversation, and stimulating guests and news...for my money, its the greatest show on earth, also Christiane Amanpoor is also great. Bill Moyers is so frustrated he's coming out of retirement, I am glad he will be back, that makes 3 alltime greats, the rest is a wasteland of of mindless garble...to the fellow wanting to fire Fareed, just another sample of the education system and it's failures...go read a book pal!
After spending 30 years with the MIC pulling in millions, just give me 5 more and then cut spending.
Social Security, Medicare AND the Pentagon.
Half of these were trivia, not questions about the news. iPads bought last year? Really?!
This so called "Current Affairs Quiz" has NOTHING to do with the world's current affairs! McDonalds and Apple products?!!!
How about relevant current events questions?
Obviously, you do not comprehend very well what you read.
Why should I know how much distance can all the IPAD bought last year can cover???? You're FIRED.
This isn't current affairs, it's trivia.
The most powerful horror film in the history of world cinema

lets actually email cnn and get this so called journo fired
harsh words from someone who can't use contractions
The U.S. households have $13 trillion debts. They are private debts. No doubt the two wars in Afghanistan and Iraq had squandered a trillion or two. Still the households account for more debts than the government does.
Wrong! Iraq was $805 billion. Total us debt is $15 trillion of which $5 trillion is in the last 3.5 years.
6 trillion added in 3 yrs, when bush left we were right below 9 trillion.
4 out of 10... i sucked... but not too bad for some one with out cable/cnn...
How exactly are you without CNN when you're posting on a CNN blog?
The Pentagon which is sucking the life blood out od the US econemy.
Question number ten is bogus. Counting unfunded liabilities the Federal Government owes over 120 Trillion Dollars and rising everyday.
The question was debt, not unfunded liabilities.
Yeah, let's not talk about unfunded liabilities, the number that is much bigger and actually matters in the long term. Let's talk about Bush's wars.
I got 8/10. The ones I missed were trivial, like how long would apple products stretch and who is second biggest McDonald's consumer outside of US. I thought it was interesting and not a waste of time. Good diversion. Some of you want all the news to be hard and serious. Boring. This was a way to test current event knowledge and learn some trivia at the same time.
My guess governments and banks. I did not even bother reading the test because I know these two live on it and would wither in power without it. Paper money is the game of both and they control the supply.
Let's bring back the gold standard, that would make the banks weep, because all of a sudden, people would have options. Options man, that's what once made this nation great.
Don't eat the forbidden fruit. Apple is the richest company in the world and is evil! Some of the workers making your apple products are children and the conditions are so stressful at the plants that some workers are committing suicide.
Fareed, thanks for the social studies class... And much thanks for giving me real thoughtful and insightful conversations on a Sunday morning.
OurBabyKlatt on September 4, 2011 I love that the tweols are made with bamboo ??!! I am a knitter and use a lot of bamboo fiber in my knitting, so a towel made with it for my sweet soon to be baby sounds extra awesome
I need to take a poop.
The Federal Government is of course the answer to the headline. Didn't you all know that restricting personal liberty and individual responsibility is an industry?
Burn the government.
The answer is... the Republican Party! They owe the American people four trillion dollars which have been wasted in an illegitimate Iraqi and Afghan war and they've further placed our nation in financial ruins. No, they're not in debt because they're the wealthy few but they have put our government in debt.
i would say the drug war going on since 1970
anzstupid on October 20, 2011 how about The One starring Jet Li. Gameplay would be RPG story would be similar to actual movie. Semi-Super cop chasing a criminal who is trying to go around killing himself in different dimensions to power himself up and he ends up being the character you play etc etc etc
