Using the information in the figure to the left and your knowledge of United States politics, complete the following tasks.
(a) Describe what the figure above demonstrates about the distribution of government benefits over time.
This shows us that elderly people have received more attention when it comes to benefits than children have, when really this should be equal.
(b) Identify two politically relevant factors that have affected the changing distribution of government benefits between children and the elderly.
Healthcare most likely is a huge factor in this change because elderly people usually need more benefits when it comes to their health. Another factor might be that elderly people have become more involved in politics, and therefore are more opinionated when it comes to their own benefits.
(c) Explain how each of the two factors identified in (b) has affected the changing distribution of government benefits.
Healthcare is needed more for elderly people than it is needed for children. Political participation is also important because being involved leads to getting your opinions heard, and in this case possibly receiving more benefits.
