Read the quotes from June 2012 when President Barack Obama's responded
to being blamed for the national debt, then answer the question below.
Which rhetorical device or logical fallacy does he use and why?
Select one:
O He is using false causality because he is blaming people who eat at

debt
He is using hasty generalization because he is overgeneralizing by saying
people who don't pay for their meals also don't pay taxes, which leads the
nation into debt
He is using an anecdote because he is telling a story about how someone
once made him pay for their dinner, in order to make his situation more

expensive meal at a restaurant buy expecting someone else to pay it for
them.
