d. When the United States cooperates with other countries in policy making, it runs the risk that other economies will negatively affect our economy.

Answer 1

Answer: c. The cartoon overstates the possibility that the United States would become a socialist country, because the the United States favors a free market economy.

Step-by-step explanation:

The picture suggests that the countries Italy, Portugal, Spain and Greece are all socialist countries who are now in trouble due to their socialist tendencies as these countries faced serious financial difficulty in current years.

The cartoon suggests that the U.S. would be in the same position if they became more socialist. A critic could argue that the chances of this happening are very low because the U.S. is a very strong proponent of the free market economy.
