Question ID:PT8 S1 Q15 Passage:Economist: Some policymakers believe that our country’s continued economic growth requires a higher level of personal savings than we currently have. A recent legislative proposal would allow individuals to set up savings accounts in which interest earned would be exempt from taxes until money is withdrawn from the account. Backers of this proposal claim that its implementation would increase the amount of money available for banks to loan at a relatively small cost to the government in lost tax revenues. Yet, when similar tax-incentive programs were tried in the past, virtually all of the money invested through them was diverted from other personal savings, and the overall level of personal savings was unchanged. Stem:The author criticizes the proposed tax-incentive program by Correct Answer Choice:AChoice A:challenging a premise on which the proposal is based Choice B:pointing out a disagreement among policymakers Choice C:demonstrating that the proposal’s implementation is not feasible Choice D:questioning the judgment of the proposal’s backers by citing past cases in which they had advocated programs that have proved ineffective Choice E:disputing the assumption that a program to encourage personal savings is needed
