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.

How did issues of race and gender impact the admission of western states into the union?
Semmy [17]
When it comes to race it usually delayed the admissions of the states into the Union. For example the states with majority population consisting of Mexicans and Native Americans were not allowed into the Union until the Congress opened those lands for white settlers. The issue of gender impacted the admissions less, the difference was in the level of commitment to the women's rights.
