Recommended: Bush's stimulus package

Reflection The main points I learned this week how the stimulus package useful the economy and how it measures up by a government to stimulate a floundering economy. The objective of a stimulus package is to reinvigorate the economy and boosting employment and spending. Our Professor and classmate build upon our learning by discussing how a stimulus package is measures and put together by a government to stimulate the economy. We consider how the stimulus package might not generate long-term benefits. We spoke about the objective of the stimulus package and was it effective at that time. The main point I found most important is to understand how spending might have a longer-term impact. I learn that there are two types

    First, the budget deficit. It’s basically the idea that the government spending is greater that its earning. They are two ways to manage this deficit, either to cut spending (Medicare, Medicaid and social security etc.) or increase taxes. However, each solution has its disadvantages. If the government increased taxes, people will spend less money and if they cut spending, people will complain about it arguing that this may hurt the nation.

  • Analysis Of A New Deal For The American People By Roger Biless

    935 Words  | 2 Pages

    Biles describes each of these programs, their purpose, how they were developed, and how they operated. He then goes into analyzing each of these programs pointing out their strengths and weaknesses and how they affected the economy individually. “For all it did, the New Deal could have done much more” (115). Biles felt that after analyzing these relief programs, they didn’t do nearly enough to boost the economy, supporting his view with the unemployment rate dropping from 19.1% in 1938 to 14.6& in 1940 (226). The programs did help many people but their were also many Americans who received no

    For government budgeting to be effective, the process that guides it must be an evolving one. As the government gets bigger, it will most likely destabilize the existing method. Therefore, it must change to keep pace with the demands and growth of the country. The process must be capable of handling the complexity of our nation and its multifaceted needs so it will always need revisions and restructuring to face these new challenges. Its ultimate goal must be to reinforce the government and strengthen the country.

  • The New Deal: An Unsuccessful Solution

    1255 Words  | 3 Pages

    Essentially, the New Deal did not work to include and employ as many people as it could or should have, even excluding major population types from any possible benefit from the programs. It failed to provide hard-working citizens with a steady job and food to eat. This question of whether or not the New Deal was a success has a substantial significance. If any country goes into a economic collapse like one of the Great Depression, one could use America’s experience as an example as to what steps should or should not be taken though such a time. Afterall, the importance of studying history is to learn from mistakes made in the

    The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act was signed into law by President Obama on February 21, 2009. The law had three major goals which were all aimed at stimulating a sluggish US economy. The first goal was to create new jobs and save existing ones by tax credits for hiring new employees. The second goal was to spur economic activity and investment in long term growth by increasing the amount of business asset that could be acquired by companies while allowing for immediate deductions for the cost of the assets as well as numerous tax credits for individuals and businesses. The third goal was to foster unprecedented levels of accountability and transparency in government spending by requiring recipients of recovery act funds to post acknowledgements on the Recovery.gov website.

  • Obama's Deal Reflection

    The Frontline documentary, Obama’s Deal, tracks the course of Obama’s healthcare reform and the steps taken by the administration to get the bill passed. Healthcare was, and remains, one of the biggest platforms of the Obama administration and one of our nation’s greatest challenges. The film starts with Obama’s election into the White House in 2009. Rahm Emanuel, who had worked for the Clinton administration, was brought in to advise Obama on the reform. To win, Emanuel knew that Obama would have to move quickly as his campaign would be strongest at the beginning. But his crucial flaw was having Obama take a back seat on his own political agenda. Emanuel tried to change his mistakes from the Clinton administration’s healthcare failure, and

  • Federal Budget Activity Reflection

    According to most policy makers, they believe cutting these spending is very harmful because they might go into some projects that Americans depend on. They put it that these cuts might create massive unemployment, compromise military readiness to sudden aggression and do away with projects that have put America to be where it is in the current global politics. However, according to my view, I do not think the cuts I have done would really jeopardize the lives of many Americans. I believe that my approach has looked it from a more balanced approach because it only reduces it by $ 320 Billion, which is not an amount that can put America into danger. Consider that during Obama administration, the target cuts were projected to be 2.5 Trillion. Thus, my cut is not that much significant.

    As time goes on, you will find that your original budget has some slaws. Some areas of budget planning might be overestimated, and some areas might be underestimated. Some of the flaws in budget making, for instance, are unemployment because if a person gets unemployed he has to have a strict budget to follow. For example making home food and not going out because that will result him in debt. Some of the other flaws are increase in rent, increase in car insurance because of accidents occurring, credit card payments, groceries, and eating out with friends. All of these flaws can cause a person to be more in debt and cau...
