Question

Which of the following was a result of Clinton’s economic plan? Choose all that apply.

increased government spending

balanced budget

increased deficit levels

budget surplus

increased prosperity for Americans

Answer 1

Correct answers: balanced budget; budget surplus; increased prosperity for Americans.

Explanation: Clinton’s 1993 deficit-reduction plan and subsequent policies reduced deficits, helped produce balanced budgets and eventual federal budget surpluses in the late 1990s, and coincided with a strong economy and rising prosperity for many Americans. It did not lead to increased deficit levels, nor was broad increased government spending a primary result of the plan.
