88. Businesses are suffering because of a lack of money available for development loans. To help businesses, the
government plans to modify the income-tax structure in order to induce individual taxpayers to put a larger
portion of their incomes into retirement savings accounts, because as more money is deposited in such
accounts, more money becomes available to borrowers.
Which of the following, if true, raises the most serious doubt regarding the effectiveness of the government’s
plan to increase the amount of money available for development loans for businesses?
(A) When levels of personal retirement savings increase, consumer borrowing always increases
correspondingly.
(B) The increased tax revenue the government would receive as a result of business expansion would not
offset the loss in revenue from personal income taxes during the first year of the plan.
(C) Even with tax incentives, some people will choose not to increase their levels of retirement savings.
(D) Bankers generally will not continue to lend money to businesses whose prospective earnings are
insufficient to meet their loan repayment schedules.
(E) The modified tax structure would give all taxpayers, regardless of their incomes, the same tax savings for
a given increase in their retirement savings.

What potential fl aw in this plan might prevent it from being eff ective? What is the
expectation behind the plan? Th e government’s plan supposes that the money invested in
retirement accounts will be available to business borrowers in the form of development
loans. Consider what circumstances might hinder that availability. What if consumer
borrowers compete with businesses? If it is known that, historically, increased savings in
personal retirement accounts corresponds with increased consumer borrowing, then the
government’s eff ort to target businesses as the benefi ciaries of this plan could well fail.
