	Good quiz but frustrating. I was really close on a lot of them, e.g. Rural Electric Administration instead of Electrification.

	SEC and SSA were the only ones that were anywhere on my radar. Need to go back to my history books I suppose!

	Lindsay:	Feb 13th, 2009 at 11:42 GMT	5 points
	Hugh Moan: Nuclear Knuckles is actually right - technically speaking, acronyms spell out words (like SCUBA or RADAR). But most people tend to use acronyms interchangeably with initialisms nowadays.

	El barto the new deal was not socialism but it was a fundamental change of how people view the role of government in society. Socialism is government and democratic ownership of the means of production not some ownership and mostly regulation. If you think obama or Roosevelt are socialist you have a lot to learn. So no more political statements or comments that something is socalist.

	FDR - longest presidential term ever, people must have really liked him.

	Well, It would have been longer if he didn't die in office, and the US were in a war anyway.

	Tapestry, you just can't help yourself, can you? Oh, and you're wrong, Roosevelt was extremely popular. Read your history.

	Ugh - Act, Authority, Administration - that last "A" always seems to be the last one I try. Same with Commission, Corporation, Corps. Joe, were you in my AP US class? lol - alphabet soup is right!

	Is it just me who's never heard of any of the answers? Is it an american thing?

	steved:	Jan 24th, 2010 at 16:12 GMT	2 points
	It is an american thing. some of these answers are acts and some of these are administrations tho. so you should have the administration and the act as answers for all of the initials. like the Agricultural Adjustment Act/Administration

	A year ago I would have known them all...I had a test on them for Am. History. :C

	My dad always said they called WPA "we poke along" and PWA "pa works again". Those might be good for bonus answers.

	Danika:	Dec 19th, 2010 at 16:11 GMT	1 point
	yes, WPA should be Works Progress Administration...well nothing is perfect. still a really helpful quiz, considering my AP US History teacher recommended it
