To complete this assignment, prepare an essay in which you respond to each of the prompts listed below. I recommend answering each prompt in its own paragraph. This structure provides you with a 6-paragraph format in which you can meet or exceed the minimum word count requirement.

• How did the policy choices differ among the three preferences?
• How difficult was it to pursue your goals while also hitting the debt target?

• Did some choices have bigger or smaller impacts on the debt than you had anticipated?
• What do you think the political obstacles would be to enacting your plan?
• What did you learn from doing this exercise?
