Do you agree or disagree with this statement: It is in the best interest of our economy for Congress and the President to run a balanced budget each year. Explain your answer.
Assume that the newly independent government of Tanzania employed you in 1964. Now free from British rule, the Tanzanian parliament has decided that it will spend 10 million shillings on schools, roads, and healthcare for the year. You estimate that the net taxes for the year are eight million shillings. The government will finance the difference by selling 10-year government bonds at 12% interest per year. Parliament must add the interest on outstanding bonds to government expenditure each year. Assume that Parliament places additional taxes to finance this increase in government expenditure so the gap between government spending is always two million. If the school, road, and healthcare budget are unchanged, compute the value of the accumulated debt in 10 years.

True or False: Federal spending has grown substantially in recent decades. By world standards, the U.S. government controls a relatively large share of the U.S. economy.

State and local government spending has not risen much in recent decades. Defense spending is higher now than ever. The share of the economy going to federal taxes has increased substantially over time. Foreign aid is a large portion, although less than half, of federal spending.
