Answer to Question 1

TRUE

Answer to Question 2

Too little money would be caused by too small of a money supply by the Federal Reserve. Too little spending could be caused by a variety of reasons such as a decrease in consumption spending by households because they become pessimistic about the future, a decrease in investment spending by firms because they lower their estimates of the future profitability of new factories and machinery, or a decrease in U.S. exports because a major trading partner is in a recession.

This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition. Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
