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.

masya89 [10]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Although it is hard to understand what the question is asking by the way it is stated, we can say that President Franklin D. Roosevelt was very aware of the problems and hardships of rural America that lacked electricity. That is why, as part of his "New Deal," he established the Rural Electrification Authority to solve this problem. This helped farmers to get loans and created electric cooperatives. These loans were low cost and created many jobs too. The Rural Electrification Act was passed on May 20, 1936.

What means did they use to counter the British Taxes?
Sonja [21]

"No taxation without representation" is a slogan originating during the 1700s that summarized a primary grievance of the American colonists in the Thirteen Colonies, which was one of the major causes of the American Revolution. In short, many in those colonies believed that, as they were not directly represented in the distant British Parliament, any laws it passed affecting the colonists (such as the Sugar Act and the Stamp Act) were illegal under the Bill of Rights 1689, and were a denial of their rights as Englishmen.
