Answer to Question 1

An ideal response will:
1, Discuss how the federal government has viewed education as a national security issue. For example, the United States once feared it would fall behind the Soviet Union in the space race.
2, Discuss how the federal government has been active in ensuring more equal funding for girls' and women's athletics. There were also racial disparities in educational opportunities that the federal government sought to ameliorate.
3, Discuss how federal legislation such as the Elementary and Secondary Education Act was aimed at assisting poor areas of the country.
4, Discuss how the United States has not always fared well in comparison to other nations. For example, students in the United States often score relatively low on science and math tests.
5, Discuss how the federal government has been active in attempting to apply more stringent standards and monitor school performance. For instance, the No Child Left Behind Act was passed in 2001 to reward or punish schools for their students' performance.

Answer to Question 2

1, Discuss the trend of both increasing budget deficits and increasing levels of debt, and show how decreased revenue and increased spending drive this trend.
