PrepTest 32, Section 2, Question 23
Editorial: This political party has repeatedly expressed the view that increasing spending on education is a worthy goal. On other occasions, however, the same party has claimed that the government should not increase spending on education. So this party's policy is clearly inconsistent.

The argument in the editorial depends on assuming which one of the following?
It is inconsistent for a legislator both to claim that increasing spending on education is a worthy goal and to vote against increasing spending on education.
A consistent course of action in educational policy is usually the course of action that will reduce spending on education in the long run.
Even if a goal is a morally good one, one should not necessarily try to achieve it.
A consistent political policy does not hold that an action that comprises a worthy goal should not be performed.
Members of one political party never have inconsistent views on how to best approach a political issue.
