Guns are military equipment. Butter is food. Does a government have to make a choice between the two, or can it do both, have an expensive military AND support the poor?
Note that the question's phrase is guns OR butter, not guns AND butter.
They should be able to do both....especially since all people need food, and we need guns for protection....right?
So.....B?
Not B.
Okay...hmmm let me read this more carefully
Yes, C is right.
Awesome! Thanks for helping me out!
