Suppose that Antonio, an economist from a business school in Georgia, and Caroline, an economist from a university in Massachusetts, are arguing over budget deficits. The following dialogue shows an excerpt from their debate: Caroline: Most people recognize that the budget deficit has been rising considerably over the last century. We need to find the best course of action to remedy this situation. Antonio: I believe that a cut in income tax rates would boost economic growth and raise tax revenue enough to reduce budget deficits. Caroline: I actually feel that raising the top income tax rate would reduce the budget deficit more effectively.   The disagreement between these economists is most likely due to    .   Despite their differences, with which proposition are two economists chosen at random most likely to agree? Having a single income tax rate would improve economic performance.   Immigrants receive more in government benefits than they contribute in taxes.   Rent ceilings reduce the quantity and quality of available housing.
