There is a public debate between the three candidates for the U.S. Senate. During the debate, the topics of oil and energy are a

ddressed. Each candidate expressed their view on the issue:
Edgar Eisenhower: "We need to cut our dependence on foreign oil. Instead, let's use the natural world around us. Think about the sun, wind, water, the heat of the earth, and the crops in our fields. These will make for affordable energy in the 21st century. We should fund research in those areas. Let us also increase tax credits for private investment in clean, renewable sources of energy."

Rebecca Roosevelt: "We need to cut our dependence on foreign oil and develop a national energy strategy. We should provide tax incentives for producing energy in the U.S. Let's increase U.S. supplies of coal, oil, and natural gas. We should promote environmentally responsible exploration and development of oil and gas reserves. That includes federal land like Alaska's National Wildlife Refuge. Let's also advance clean coal technology."

Terrance Taft: "Looking at our energy supply is one thing—how we're using it is another. We can drive smaller, more fuel efficient cars. We can invest in more efficient technology for our homes and businesses. These things add up and make a big difference. In fact, in several new buildings associated with Taft Inc., we address our energy needs with locally produced renewable energy. That wouldn't be possible if we were using outdated, energy guzzling technology."

Debra is a voter who believes that the success of the oil industry is very important to the health of the national economy. Based on their platforms, which candidate would Debra likely support?
A) She would likely support Rebecca Roosevelt because she supports increased production of oil.
B) She could make a good case for supporting any of the candidates based on their platforms.
C) She would likely support Terrance Taft because he supports reducing use of gas and oil.
D) She would likely support Edgar Eisenhower because he has the most experience working with the oil industry.

Answer:

A) She would likely support Rebecca Roosevelt because she supports increased production of oil.

Explanation:

All of these candidates have a personal approach to addressing the energy needs of the country. Eisenhower believes that the best thing to do is reduce our use of oil and invest in renewable energy. Roosevelt believes that we should stop using foreign oil and instead use our own oil and gas. Finally, Taft believes that we should pay attention to reducing our needs for energy through the use of better technology. The only one that openly supports the maintenance of the oil industry is Rebeca Roosevelt. Therefore, Debra is likely to vote for her.

How did the building of cahokia inadvertently lead to its destruction?
laiz [17]
Cahokia was one of the largest and possibly the capital city of the people that are referred to as the Mound Builders. Cahokia's size and the large number of  people that lived there led to the main issues. Bad droughts and poor harvests meant people couldn't eat.

almond37 [142]

The correct answer is B.

Milton Friedman (1912 - 2006) was an economist who received the 1976 Nobel Prize in Economics for his studies in consumption analysis, monetary history and complex theories related to stabilization, including goverment intervention policies.

Presidents such as Hoover or Coolidge, who had governed in the decade before the Great Depression, supported laisez-faire economic measures, that consisted on free functioning of the markets with minimum goverment interventionism. Markets alone, would produce the most efficent outcomes, according to his viewpoint. Therefore, the policies introduced by these governments, involved minimum government regulation of the economic activity by the goverment.

<u>This is why Friedman, such as many others, claimed for alternative policies which involved goverment intervention for stabilization purpouses, using the mechanisms of the fiscal policy.</u> Subsequent goverments did apply such measures, being the best example the New Deal, based on Keynesian economics and implemented by President Roosevelt. The New Deal aimed to create job positions for the large unemployed sectors of the US population, by increasing public expenditure (one of the variables of the fiscal policy) in public works and hence, creating employment to undertake those works.
