Answer: The flexible answer required more money.

Explanation:

During the 1960s, the US continued to expand its strategic goals and invest in conventional military forces. The flexible answer also involved seeking partners in third world countries.

To this end, financial assistance was provided to governments that did not favor the communist regime. So the flexible answer was not to spend money on the military but to strengthen the position in the world. As a result, the US found itself at a much higher cost.
