Alice Rivlin is an economist and former U. S. Federal Reserve and budget official.

In this excerpt, Rivlin is criticizing the tendency that people have to look for strategies that require very little hard work or sacrifice. The examples she gives are losing weight without dieting and learning a language without sitting down and studying. She makes a parallel between this attitude and government spending, arguing that reducing spending is desirable but no one is willing to sacrifice what is necessary, such as some governmental programs.

Correct answer:

<h2>C)  South Vietnam was reunited by force with North Vietnam and became a single communist nation.</h2>

Explanation:

The US had been supporting South Vietnam against the communist North Vietnam.  Ultimately, US President Richard Nixon proposed drawing down US involvement in the war and seeking "peace with honor," as he put it.  

Once the US forces withdrew (after a long, unsuccessful struggle), it was too late for the South Vietnamese to stave off the victory of the North Vietnamese and Viet Cong forces.  The US withdrew its forces from Vietnam in 1973.  By 1975, Saigon, the capital of South Vietnam, fell to the North Vietnamese communist forces.  South Vietnam unconditionally surrendered to North Vietnam on April 30, 1975.  All of Vietnam became united under communist control.

What happened in 1803 that nearly doubled the size of the United States?
goblinko [34]

Correct answer:  A. President Jefferson purchased the Louisiana Territory from France.

Explanation:  

Initially, President Thomas Jefferson had commissioned James Monroe and Robert Livingston to negotiate a deal with France to acquire New Orleans or all or part of Florida, as a means of avoiding the potential of an armed conflict in such areas. Monroe and Livingston were authorized to spend up to $10 million.  What they found out was that Napoleon was already set to sell a much wider range of territory to the United States, to finance his European wars.  Napoleon was asking $22 million for the whole territory that became the Louisiana Purchase.  The US team negotiated the price down to $15 million.  The deal with France was made in 1803.

Then, however, there was a constitutional crisis back home.  Did the President have the authority under the constitution to make such a major addition to the nation's territory and spend the nation's funds to do so? Ultimately, Jefferson was convinced by his Cabinet members and sent the measure to Congress for approval.  In a statement he made at the time, Jefferson justified the purchase with this analogy:  "“It is the case of a guardian, investing the money of his ward in purchasing an important adjacent territory; and saying to him when of age, I did this for your good."
