When you buy a U.S. government savings bond, you’re doing so under the power given to Congress to?

Question

A. regulate commerce.
B. levy taxes.
C. print and coin money.
D. borrow money.

Answer 1

The answer is D because by definition, you lend money to an entity when you buy a bond from it. You give the entity the power to borrow. The U.S. government has the power to regulate commerce, levy taxes, print and coin money regardless of bond issurance. Buying bonds does not increase the power.
