Respuesta :

Answer: all of the above.

This article would be topical in any of these situations. The first scenario claims that Congress is contemplating an increase in personal income tax. The article is useful because it discusses the effects of tax cuts. The second scenario presents a case in which social security might not be adjusted according to inflation. The article discusses the policies that Reagan implemented in terms of government spending, which might prove useful. Finally, the third scenario discusses an unemployment crisis, and the article addresses the effects on economic growth of having a large supply of money, labor and services, all of which would be altered during an unemployment crisis.
