How did the federal budget change between 1960 and 1968?
it was cut in half.
it remained steady.
it increased by half.
it doubled in size.

Correct answer choice is :

President Lyndon B. Johnson ordered Congress to announce an unconditional war on debt and to aim not only to reduce the indication of poverty, but to preserve it and, above all, to prevent it. Over the next five years, Congress legislated legislation that modified American schools, started Medicare and Medicaid, and increased housing subsidies, urban development programs, employment and training programs, food stamps, and Social Security and welfare advantages. These programs more than tripled actual federal expenditures on health, education, and welfare, which grew to over 15 percent of the federal funds by 1970.

The federal budget changed between 1960 and 1968 since it doubled in size.

The federal budget is understood as the government's estimate of revenue and spending for each fiscal year.

The revenue for most governments comes from taxes including taxes on family incomes, business profits, and imports, such as custom duties and tariffs and even sin taxes on activities the government wants to discourage, such as cigarette smoking and alcohol use.
