The rules of politics are not always the same as the rules of economics. In discussions of setting budgets for government agencies, there is a strategy called “closing the Washington Monument.” When an agency faces the unwelcome prospect of a budget cut, it may decide to close a high-visibility attraction enjoyed by many people (like the Washington Monument). Is this strategy economically efficient? In other words, does it minimize the utility loss from a budget cut? Explain. If this strategy is not economically efficient, what is the incentive to pursue such a strategy?

Economists try to find ways to measure our willingness to pay for these goods in order to translate them into dollar figures that can be added up. Is our willingness to pay for something a good stand-in for how valuable something is to us? Does it uncover the truth?
