Answer:
False. According to political writer Samuel H. Beer, Congress is NOT chiefly responsible for the increase in federal programs.
Step-by-step explanation:
Read carefully the passage provided. Beer points out that people in government service first perceived the problem, conceived the program, and helped push it on to the president, through Congress, and lobbied it through to enactment. Therefore, Congress was not chiefly responsible for the increase in federal programs, government service people were.
