Expert Solution

Rebate checks for all citizens is the correct option. Budget deficit means when government spending is greater than tax revenue. It is not a good way to run budget deficit, but to provide rebate checks to all senior citizens or the needy ones would be the good way because those people will be helped. While other options are good way to increase government spending because the other options work towards the social welfare
