Answer 1

Correct Answer:

C.the federal budget has many entitlements that people do not want cut.

Step-by-step explanation:

In U.S, there are so many sectors with so many budget mapped out and controlled in-order to benefits the citizens. For example, in this pandemic situation, there are budgets for those who lost their jobs, those unable to pay their house rent, those with medical challenges etc. all these entitlements are what people are not willing to lose. Bringing the federal spending under control means cutting off some of these budgets which might trigger crises.
