Question

(4 of 6)
in 1900 government (federal, state, local) totaled about 10 percent of all spending in the u.s. economy as compared to about ____ percent today.

○ 5
○ 15
○ 30
○ 50

Explanation:

To answer this, we recall knowledge about U.S. government spending as a percentage of the economy over time. Historical and economic data shows that government (federal, state, local) spending has increased from about 10% in 1900 to approximately 30% today. The other options (5, 15, 50) don't align with established economic data on U.S. government spending's share of the economy.

Answer:

C. 30
