The correct answer is D) increasing federal spending on entitlement programs.
<em>The future trend on this pyramid that is correct is increasing federal spending on entitlement programs.</em>
The pyramid shows the projected population makeup of the United States in 2050. With this type of calculation, the trend indicates that the number of people by the year 2050 will require more support in US help programs or entitlement programs. In the United States, there are four major entitlement programs: Medicare, Social Security, worker's compensation, and unemployment insurance. Of course, there are other programs such as Medicaid or the Veterans assistance programs. The thing is that these are funded by the federal government. If the projection of the pyramid is accurate, the federal government is going to increase federal spending on these programs by 2050.
