Answer to Question 1

An ideal response will be:
Since the end of World War II, there has been a major expansion in the number and size of public community colleges, which typically receive funds from local as well as state governments and which allow students to attend the first two years of college or receive a technical education in their own communities.

Answer to Question 2

An ideal response would be:
Grants between governments, usually from higher levels of government (federal and state) to lower levels (counties, cities, and townships), are essential and influential sources of revenue for state and local governments.
Most of the growth in federal grants as sources of revenues for state governments has come from Medicaid, a federal program that provides health coverage for low-income individuals. Medicaid accounted for 44 percent of federal grants in 2008, much more than its 30 percent share in 1990 . Some major areas of federal assistance include income support (21 percent in 2008), education and training (13 percent), and transportation (11 percent).
