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 was cattle ranching first brought to the Indian Territory? Describe the methods used by the Five Tribes.
frozen [14]

Answer:

After being sent to new land in the Indian Territory because of the Indian Removal Act, the Five Tribes began to place more of an emphasis on ranching. These tribes had used livestock ranching and herding on their old land, but the plains of the Indian Territory were excellent for open-range grazing. The tribes usually shared cattle and land communally. This meant that the tribe held ownership over herds instead of having smaller herds that were owned by individuals. The tribes began to create ranching and herding operations that would allow them to sell cattle, but the Civil War caused many changes that hindered these efforts.
