Kate: A popular topic for debate among politicians as well as economists is the idea of providing government assistance for health benefits.
Hubert: I think it is oppressive for the government to tax people who take care of themselves in order to pay for health insurance for those who are obese.
Kate: I disagree. I think government funding of health insurance is useful to ensure basic fairness.

The disagreement between these economists is most likely due to:

a. differences in values
b. differences in perception versus reality
c. differences in scientific judgement

Despite their differences, with which proposition are two economists chosen at random most likely to agree?

a. Having a single income tax rate would improve economic performance.
b. Rent ceilings reduce the quantity and quality of available housing.
c. Immigrants receive more in government benefits than they contribute in taxes.
