On #30, is it "government spending" that's being increased. Less tax + more spending = more debt
On #33, the words "per person" throws me a curve.

Re: Take this test
28 out of 33 - Two questions I have trouble with.
30) Which of the following fiscal policy combinations would a government most likely follow to stimulate economic activity when the economy is in a severe recession?
A. increasing both taxes and spending
B. increasing taxes and decreasing spending
C. decreasing taxes and increasing spending
D. decreasing both taxes and spending
33) If taxes equal government spending, then:
A. government debt is zero
B. printing money no longer causes inflation
C. government is not helping anybody
D. tax per person equals government spending per person
E. tax loopholes and special-interest spending are absent
The correct answers for these two seem wrong. Does any else think the same as me?
I don't want to give the answers for those that haven't taken the test yet.
