What is the plan by the GOP to recover the economy?
This is an intelligent question that deserves an intelligent answer.
No smart@$$es, no insults and no simple answers.
Please give links to your sources and information.
Any experts in the subjects (in economy or in political science) would be appreciated.
Thank you.|||castrate obama.
that is all they can do with just the house.
maybe they can force some the COMPROMISE the dems promised 2yrs ago and get the bush tax cuts extended|||"Spend less."
Of course, most economists are saying that the public sector actually needs to spend more to compensate for the fall in private sector spending. By spending on the deficit, the government brings demand back towards equilibrium with supply.
Contractionary policy is deflationary . . . and really isn't a good idea when faced with slow growth and high unemployment. In fact, it is the exact wrong reaction.
In other words, the GOP plan is to defy all economic experience and theory.|||The GOP/Teabag/Fox 'News' party works for the trans national corporations.

Define " Information and communication Technology" and its role to the development of an economy?
Iwant you to give me the definition and its contribution to the economy and science|||its computer science and because of computers getting faster, they influence how the economy is run (do your own hw)
Assume the following information is relevant for an advanced economy over a three-year period.?
Year-Increase Price in Index-Increase in Labor Productitvity
1 167 4%
2 174 3%
3 181 2.5%
IndustrialProduction-Average Unemplyment Rate-Hr. Wage
4% 4.5% $6
2% 5.2% $6.50
1.5% 5.8% $7.10|||I can't see anything bad in this figures. Actually everything depends on wages starting point and changes in MPC in some sense. Of course it's obvious that productivity grows slower than real wages which consequently leads to higher unemployment rates as classical analysis suggests. But it only from the first view. For instance if in closest countries wage levels already twice higher then wage-increase could be much faster than evidence suggests - overvise labor migration could arise (due to differences in incomes and/or social conditions) - labor in open economies is the same resource as capital (take for instance labor mobility in European Union, there almost no any barriers left). It can also just show that capital becomes cheaper and labor more expensive (remember MPC/r=MPL/W equation?).
And yes it's true, it seems like purchasing power is rising (so does internal demand), but there is no data about market structures (if they are highly monopolized and uncontrolled - then inflation could rise due to monopolies, not because of higher demand - it's hard to decide with only data you provided) - so "cost-push inflation" is not evident (wages could be spent on investment instead of consumption and consumption could be due to previous obligations like pensions or credits, or it could be consumption made by non-residents - so more research on sources required). Some extra indicators should be used to make comparative analysis (except if this system is closed economy). Overvise wrong conclusions and following "supply-side economics" tools may be done by the cost of "demand-side" that in long-term will lead to disastrous effect on social condition and total population (demographic changes).
Limiting wages or increasing taxes or subsidies businesses etc. other methods can play a bad joke over the long-run due to wrong analysis. Yeah politics are jammed in such trap. Usually in ideal system social wealth-fare is followed (better income distribution, health-care, etc.) more than business-productivity-inflation staff.
So: conclusion is - there is no enough data available.

How is Uranium mining effecting Australian economy (in a good way)?
I was just wondering how big of an industry uranium mining is in Australia and any other important information on the effect on the economy to uranium mining|||Australia has the worlds largest known resources of uranium, with about 25% of the total. Production is about 10,000 tons per year of U3O8 ("yellowcake"), making Australia the world second largest producer after Canada.
Uranium prices fell to a low of $7 per pound in 2001, but recovered to hit $72 per pound in 2007, and is still above $60 per pound.
Australia exports all its Uranium - none is used domestically. Exports are controlled to ensure peaceful use. The principal benefit is export income and jobs. Exports earn about $1.4 billion per year and about 12,000 people are employed. Use of nuclear power with Australian uranium reduces greenhouse gas emissions by about 400 million tons per year.
Uranium mining is controversial in Australia, and has long been restricted by the government. Queensland bans uranium mining completely.
However the largest uranium mine in the world, the planned open cut expansion of the Olympic Dam mine in South Australia looks set to go ahead.
This will be a huge state of the art mine, making extensive use of automated mining equipment. Construction and operation will generate many thousands of jobs.

The Native American Power Movement
Period: 1960s

In November 1969, some 200 Native Americans seized the abandoned federal penitentiary on Alcatraz Island in San Francisco Bay. For 19 months, Indian activists occupied the island to draw attention to conditions on the nation's Indian reservations. Alcatraz, the Native Americans said, symbolized conditions on reservations: "It has no running water; it has inadequate sanitation facilities; there is no industry, and so unemployment is very great; there are no health care facilities; the soil is rocky and unproductive." The activists, who called themselves Indians of All Tribes, offered to buy Alcatraz from the federal government for "$24 in glass beads and red cloth."
On Thanksgiving Day 1970, Wampanoag Indians, who had taken part at the first Thanksgiving 350 years earlier, held a National Day of Mourning at Plymouth, Massachusetts. A tribal representative declared, "We forfeited our country. Our lands have fallen into the hands of the aggressor. We have allowed the white man to keep us on our knees." Meanwhile, another group of Native Americans established a settlement at Mount Rushmore to demonstrate Indian claims to the Black Hills.
During the late 1960s and early 1970s, a new spirit of political militancy arose among the first Americans, just as it had among black Americans and women. No other group, however, faced problems more severe than Native Americans. Throughout the 1960s, American Indians were the nation's poorest minority group, more deprived than any other group, according to virtually every socioeconomic measure. In 1970, the Indian unemployment rate was 10 times the national average, and 40 percent of the Native American population lived below the poverty line. In that year, Native American life expectancy was just 44 years, a third less than that of the average American. In one Apache town of 2,500 on the San Carlos reservation in Arizona, there were only 25 telephones, and most homes had outdoor toilets and relied on wood burning stoves for heat.
Conditions on many of the nation's reservations were not unlike those found in underdeveloped areas of Latin America, Africa, and Asia. The death rate among Native Americans exceeded that of the total U.S. population by a third. Deaths caused by pneumonia, hepatitis, dysentery, strep throat, diabetes, tuberculosis, alcoholism, suicide, and homicide were 2 to 60 times higher than the entire U.S. population. Half a million Indian families lived in unsanitary, dilapidated dwellings, many in shanties, huts, or even abandoned automobiles.

I'm writing a paper about William Wilberforce and i am suppose to address the prejudice and then the economy. And im having difficulties finding information.

Question about industries/economy in the New England Colonies?
can someone please help me with information about the economy and major industries in the New England Colonies? i just need to know major industries and a little information about them. this would be a really big help. thanks ahead of time!|||Mostly agricultural, corn, wheat, and indigo (a dye).
Some ship building, and export of lumber too.
In early colonial days, trade with Native Americans was a big money maker too.
Furs were bought from Indians, the Indians wanted cloth, beads, and sometimes alcohol or store made pots and gun powder.
Much of the sea trade went to either other colonies or England.
Colonists in all the colonies turned corn into whiskey, and made rum from sorgum. Later more rum was imported from the West Indies.
While slavery was rare in New England colonies, many of the merchants made money on transport of slaves, or investing in them for resale, from Africa.
Trade was main money maker, both with imports and exports, often on ships built there.
They had good harbors, better than in the Southern colonies.

Information on the economy for italy?
Could you explain yourself more?... Italy is the seventh largest economy and 4 largest in Europe. its a capitalist economy with a high GDP and developed infrastructure. Its unemployment rate is 8.4% which is slightly lower then the European Union, though in general is still significantly high. Its GDP per capita (average income per person) Is $29,000 ranked 28th in the world, and can be compared to with Italy or greece. Italy has a very high debt which stricken the economy to have significant growth. Corruption is also a BIG issue. The inequality gap in the north and the south and high taxation (which many do not pay) are modern day issues italy is facing....

I need some comparison between the Canadian and the Indian economy ?
I need websites or links and information on Canadian vs Indian economy in 2008-2009.|||There are articles compared and contrasted the economy of India and Canada in the fiscal year of 2008-2009. However, indicator of economic growth of higher GDP is not necessarily represent the life style and comfort in their homestead. It appears that India has better GDP growth in comparison to Canada. The majority Indian life is quite poor or even described as miserable and harsh life in India. However Canada is quite a good country to settle down and to establish a family. Simply Canada is a vast and clean country to live with comfort and affordability for the many immigrants. As matter of fact, Hong Kong is boasted its GDP growth quite steady before with the revenue is generated by land sale at highest price in this world and the over development has turned Hong Kong to become the top three most polluted city in this world and stinky, too. Just by reading the statistic and particularly the recorded income per capita of the household was HK $ 28,000 per month in 2007. Every newspaper in Hong Kong has published the articles indicating there are 340,000 Hong Kong are starved for having one half of the full meals each day on top the public concerned matter of two out of the total population of seven millions are living under the poverty line. Are you being fooled by the sky scrapers and florencent lights in Hong Kong? I bet once you visited Hong Kong you never want to come back again!! Why Hong Kong so bad? The more than 70% of total GDP is used to pay the highest paid civil servants in this world and the budget of the public services to th publics. Many observers are mad on those Hong Kong top ranking civil servants and good for nothing officials are currently making five to seven times as what the American or UK officials and senior ranks civil servants making. Hong Kong government must start to axe the overall overpaid civil servants by rang from 4% to as much as 60% to those overpaid.

What was the economy like in Canada during World War 2?
There's a lot of information out there about the economy of the U.S. and Europe and Germany, but does anyone know any specific struggles or (it doesn't even have to be a struggle) what kinds of thing Canadians were going through at the time of WWII?
ex. Were we low on certain resources? Were people who normally didn't work having to work to support their families during a time of struggle?
Even if you just post a good website it would be very helpful! Thank you!|||http://www.linksnorth.com/canada-history鈥?/a> and IN 1939, Canada was a mainly agricultural country with over 60 percent of the population living in rural towns or on farms. The industrial sector was concentrated in Quebec and Ontario, and most exports were raw materials from the forests, and mines.
The need to clothe, feed and equip the Canadian armed forces required a complete overhaul of Canadian manufacturing plants and processes. Many smaller towns became regional centers of manufacturing, based on what was needed by the military. Railway lines that were all ready in existance were designated as places that factories would be built beside.
With so many men going into the service, women were ecouraged to go to work in "war factories" where they learned completely new skills and got paid well, too. Soon things were operating around the clock, with three shifts, six days a week. Kids were brought to work, and care centres at the plant were normal. Teen agers were allowed to go to full time work at age 14, to supplement the work force.
Building of new military bases, as well as air fields, and ship yards, brought the need for more lumber, steel, and asphalt, and concrete supplies, as well as construction equipment. Making a simple thing like a naval life jacket produced many small companies in small towns. Sone of them are still in business.
Food production was increased, and so was the out put of home gardens. People were encouraged to grow their own vegetables.
Production of consumer goods stopped, and the factories were conveted to war production. For example, Inglis Appliances, in Toronto made Bren Machine Guns, and Sten sub Machine guns, and General Electric made search lights and radar for ships. Canadian Steel Car in Hamilton switched from making freight cars , to making fighter planes. General Motors in Oshawa, made over ONE MILLION trucks in WW2.

Looking for information on Egypt during the 18th dyasty?
What was the economy. Information about Serapeum|||The period of the 18th dynasty is the start of the New Kingdom in Egypt 1550-1070 BC. The New Kingdom started with the reunification of the north and the south. This period is known as the 'Golden Age' of Egypt when the country was at the height of its cultural and artistic achievement. At that time Egypt was the most powerful empire in the ancient world and was basking in enormous wealth amassed from many a succesfull war by a series of victorious warrior pharaohs.
I read with interest the previous extensive and informative comment about the 18th dynasty's pharaohs noticing only one minor mistake. Akenaten (one of the earliest monotheists known and Nefertiti's husband) was actually Amenhotep IV, not V (there was not Amenhotep V in Egypt's history).
This wealth was channeled into construction of many magnificent monuments including the Great Temple of Abu Suimbel, Karnak's hypostyle hall and Seti's temple at Abydos. Some of these monuments have survived till modern times turning Egypt into a mekka for tourists. Trips to Egypt in general and Nile cruises in particular were among the first and most exciting holiday destinations for a 19th century traveller. And today it's no different. Millions of tourist come to visit Egypt every year.
Ad Serapeum - it is among one of Egypt's strangest monuments. It was the centre of a cult relating to the Apis bull. It was believed to be the incarnation of the blessed soul of Ptah and Osiris after his death. During its life the sacred bull was treated as a deity with its own priests and a harem of cows. When it died it was buried at the Serapeum with the finest of ceremonies. The bull was mummified, then placed in a 70 ton granite sarcophagus. In Serapeum there are 25 such sarcophagi. One of these mummified bulls is now on the display in the Agricultural Museum in Cairo.
Serapeum was first discovered by the French egyptologist Mariette in Saqqara desert some 20 miles south of Cairo halfway through the 19th century. The whole tomb temple complex of catacombs is rather eerie. The catacombs were in use until 30 BC.
There are two Serapeums in Egypt. Another one is located in Alexandria and its provenance is associated with the Greeks.
You probably mean the Saqqara Serapeum though, because it dates back to the 18th dynasty.|||The economic status of Egypt during the 18th Dynasty of the New Kingdom was phenomenal.
It was a time of expansion of the political borders,new trade allies and exploration.
All this despite a few quite significant uprisings.
The wars with the Hykos or "sea people" that had been ongoing during the Taosid period, were essentially over and Egypt was the victor.
Taking thousands of prisoners of war,as slaves.
The real political force's behind the Pharaohs throne, were the lector priests of the Temple of Atum Ra in Waset,or Thebes as the Greeks named it.
This was now the capitol of Egypt.
The first Pharaoh of the 18th Dynasty was Ahmose l and he made a tactical marriage with Ahmes-Nefertity ,Gods Daughter of Amun and Adoratrix of Amun,his sister wife.
Their son Amenhotep inherited the throne by default and left no heirs .
So the next Pharaoh was another son of Ahmose l by a commoner ,Thutmose l.
His marriage to Ahmes another Gods Wife and Adoratrix of Amun ,saw the throne safely secured in his hands.
Thutmose's l introduced the building of pylons as the protective facade to temples and towns.These impressive structures replaced the former series of walls and guard houses that had been in use since the the dynastic era.
While his father Amenhotep l ,was the first Pharaoh to be buried in The Valley of the Kings.
The Thutmosids as they are known, had very close political and blood connections to the priests of Amun Ra and relied on the priestly caste for their endurance.
It was through the lector priests influence, that a female was able to gain power and maintain it for so long.
This was the time of Pharaoh Menkare Hatshepsut,(a woman who showed the men how to do it),my personal favourite ruler.
Hatshepsut ruled by herself or as consort for her brother and later her nephew.Giving Egypt one of the most affluent and influential periods of any Dynasty.
Egypt was at the height of its Golden Age. With no major wars or natural disasters to deal with, manpower,money and time could be invested in exploration. Such as the expedition to Punt.
Her crowning achievement was her stunning temple at Dier el Bahri.It is the epitome of what the 18th Dynasty stood for.
However as can be imagined her reign was full of political and family intrigue. It is to her credit she survived and reigned so well.
Her end was mysterious as was the disappearance from history of her favoured aide, Senemut.
Senemut was the also the tutor of Neferure,Hatshepsut's daughter,who vanished for all accounts at the same time.
During the reign of the Thutmosids, many of the most impressive of the Egyptian monuments at Karnak and The Temple of Luxor were built. The Sphinx was "rescued" for the first time by a young Thutmosis 1V.who removed the sand covering it. After a dream in which the Sphinx asked for his help.
Thutmoses II contended with minor skirmishes with Nubian warlords but his reign was uneventful.It is thought he may have suffered from a childhood illness that left him a weakened adult. But he also contributed to extending the temples and other monuments.
Thutmoses lll was a true warrior Pharaoh and fought many successful campaigns.Including the Battle of Meggido.
He is recorded as having great military abilities from a young age.
But he also followed his Father and Aunt and expanded the Temples.Being mindful of the priests of Amun Ra's power.
Thutmoses lV and Amenhotep ll,Thutmoses lV and the last of the 18th Dynasty Pharaohs, Amenhotep lll all enjoyed relatively peaceful and prosperous reigns due to the powerful alliances made in the earlier reigns.
It is interesting to note that nearly all of the statues,reliefs and carvings of Hatshepsut as a male Pharoah were destroyed either under the direction of Thutmoses lV or one of the late Amenhoteps.
With the end of Amenhotep IV's rule we come to the end of the first part of the 18th Dynasty.
The next part is initially the story of the heretic Pharaoh Amenhotep V, who changed his name to Akenaton.
He introduced monotheism to Egypt.So denying the powerful priest caste of Amun Ra.
His reign was short and much discrepincy and debate has arisen regarding whether his successor was his wife Nefertarri or his brother/son Smenkare.
Some say Smenkare is Nefertitti,and there is quite good evidence towards it.
The next ruler was the famous boy king Tukankamon about who so much has been written.
His very short reign was followed by Ay and Horembeb both elderly statesmen/generals.
Apart from the costly and disruptive Amarna interlude. This second part of the 18th Dynasty did little for the country or its economic and military status.
The Serrapeum at Saqqara is from the 18th Dynasty and was the burial place of the sacred Apis bull. When these sacred bulls died the country would go into mourning.
The deceased bull would be mummifed and given a burial at the site in Saqqara. The search would then be held for its successor. The bull must have exactly the correct markings. Black on its back and throat and red on stomach and tail. Their sacopphagi are gigantic and weigh many tons. There are at more than 60 known Apis bulls.
To find out more I will direct you to a great article by well know Egypology writer Jimmy Dunn .
Just go to w.w.w.touregypt and type Apis Bull or serapeum into search.
There was also the much, much later Serapeum dedicated to the Greek God Serrapis,this is at Alexandria.

Can we trust the media for accurate information on the economy?
Journalists will always seek out economic analysts that agree with their pre-disposed political viewpoints. Economists have economic viewpoints that are all over the spectrum. Bottom line: nobody knows with certainty because the economy is just too complex to model.
Example: here are two different takes on the same story:

"The economy expanded at an annual rate of 5.7 percent in the fourth quarter, the second straight quarter of growth. But analysts warn it's unsustainable."
#2 http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=2…
“We are getting on to something that is pretty sustainable,” said Bruce Kasman, chief economist at JPMorgan Chase %26amp; Co. in New York, who correctly forecast the gain in GDP.
So my question is why does anybody put trust is one particular article that predicts something about the economy when it is always possible to find an equally reliable source that predicts the opposite?|||that's the beauty of the field of economics. The facts are on the table; the 5.7 percent increase in the fourth quarter. What follows now is that economists will reach different perspectives on whether this is a good sign or not.
The trick is to check even MORE sources and follow the one that is backed with more facts. Remember, the social sciences have a lot of room for interpretation, and different experts will have conflicting results.|||No, these are just more happy faces from the media, never have I heard an accurate assessment of the state of the economy...Throw the Republicrat/Demolicians out! Leave the Democrat and Republican parties. Vote Independent, "Independent” which is really “Decline to State” or “No Party”. The last true American party left.
Basically,if you study the economic structure, Macro and Micro economic theory, read a few different books on different opinions, be sure to take a few courses in higher mathematics as well, then watch, "Zeitgeist" for an alternative view, you can figure out the system, which is broken....|||There are certainly many ways to spin ANY information.
I think the real issue with the economy is what is more important to YOU?

How has the economy changed since 1998? ?
I'm doing a compare/contrast essay on how the economy has changed since 1998 and need facts and information on our economy now. I've tried searching on google and even news websites but couldn't find anything useful. Please help, and thank you. |||All down hill I'm afraid
Would it be better to major in information technology or information systems?
They say information technology jobs are starting to be cut due to a slow economy. Does that mean information systems too?|||Even though the economy may be slow right now, companies will always be in need of people who can help them communicate, store, and analyze information.
What you should really be thinking about here is what area YOU would rather work in. Do you want to do more analysis, programming, and abstract work (IS), or do you want to get down and dirty with the actual technology (IT)?
Another thing to consider in our current times, is "how easily could my chosen profession be performed by a third party?" Or in other words, could companies easily outsource my profession to India?
Good luck with your decision.|||There is always a need for Technology and Information jobs just some cuts are due to physical labor like Janitorial or Mail jobs. This is the first time I have herd of any cuts on Technology especially since they are begging for people to work.

Where can I get honest information about our economy?
I'm 63 y/o with a high school education. I have come to accept that the capitalist system, with honest oversight from the government, is that best of all possible systems. But where do I get just honest, clear information about our current economic situation? There's finger pointing in all directions as, for example, on the hight cost of gasoline. But who is really to blame?(I don't mean "blame" in the moral sense) Speculators, China and India, our own wastful habits? Where can I read up on this subject and others like it?
Where can I get just honest analysis without having to felter out either left or right wing bias?
Can anyone suggest books, web-sites, where I can get information that is not too technical yet helps me understand the economic world we now live in? I'd like to learn about Wall Street too. What does "buying short" (if that's the proper term) mean? How in the world can you make money when the stock goes down??
Thank you one and all.
Tony|||One interesting source for information about the American Economy is the magazine "The Economist". Its published out of the UK and is generally well regarded by the economists as a thoughtful publication.
The other idea I would recommend is to do something I call, for lack of a better term, triangulation. I borrow it from mapping and geometry, but the notion is to find a few sources that seem to have at least a reliable bias to their coverage, making sure that you pick something on the left, something on the right, and something as close to the center as you can find. In TV you might use MSNBC on the left, FOX on the right, and CNN in the middle. For newspapers try the New York times on the left, the wall street journal on the right and perhaps a regional or local paper if you can find one that is more centrist.
The idea with both examples is to follow an issue of interest on all three sources, noting the differences in how the facts and the analysis are presented. You'll tend to get a better picture of what might really be going on by looking at the confluence of all three sources.
If you don't have the time to do something that extensive, just try to find the most moderate, balanced treatments you can find.
You can develop a skill for spotting disingenuous reporting or media bias over time, even by just listening or reading carefully to one source. People with ulterior motives in their reporting tend to reveal it in how they cover a story.
Even one news outlet will often offer competing takes on a story. MSNBC for example, primarily a left leaning outlet, does offer counter programming, such as Joe Scarboroughs morning talk show "Morning Jo" If you watch that, plus Chris Matthews and whatever you can find from Tim Russert, you can get a left center, to center take on things by interpolating the combination.
MSNBC also uses Pat Buchanen a lot as a counter point commentator and he is pretty good, although he tends to be out of the mainstream on trade and nationalism, even from the perspective of the right. Still, he's been around a long time and has a great persona for spirited but digestable debate.
So MSNBS is all about politics these days, and you want more on economics. You can use the same method with any programming sources you find that you like, but you have to stick with it long enough to figure out who is leaning which way in their coverage and bias.
You are thinking of selling short. That is when you agree today to sell someone a stock in the future that you don't yet own. you are betting that the stock will cost you less in the future. the person accepting the contract with you thinks the opposite or they wouldn't do the deal. So you either have different needs and motivations, or different information, or have done a different kind of analysis to come up with your difference of opinion on the future value of the stock.
the market price at equilibrium, in a quiet time, tends to reflect the collective wisdom of the entire investment community. Obviously some people have more interest and more knowledge about a particular company than everyone as a whole. So its not unusual to be in a position to have a better idea than the entire community of investors as a whole, about stocks for companies that are not large enough to attract the attention of the multitude of professional stock analysts. Often these are called small cap stocks, short for companies with smaller capitalization, or a modest amount of stock in the marketplace. the big investors can't bother to think about and establish positions in these companies, but the small investor can and does.
I'm not a good source for how to go about picking individual stocks, but there are tons of folks out there who are.
But that is how you make money when you think the stock is going down. you sell stock today, that you don't yet own, under a contract that requires you to deliver it at a specified date in the future. I think most of the on-line systems like Ameritrade or Etrade etc will allow you to do that, at least once you have established an account and funded it.

Can somebody explain to me what the Carbon Economy Is?
what is it?
does it effect us? if so, how?
can we prevent it from hurting us?
i just need basic information on the carbon economy.
thanks for your help!|||A low-carbon economy is an economy in which the growth of carbon dioxide emissions from the use of carbon based fuels (coal, oil and gas) is halted and then significantly reduced. The full reduction (phase-out) appears later only in the zero-carbon (also called post carbon) economy, where any carbon emissions are not allowed.
Low-carbon economy is related with low-carbon society.
Such a low-carbon economy is reached by many states and proposed by organizations as a necessity in order to mitigate the effects of global warming. It might also be hastened by future shortages of oil (Hubbert peak theory) and the associated increases in energy prices that are predicted to come,coupled with anticipated increases in energy demand as countries such as China and India continue their industrialization and coalization.
A low-carbon economy might be brought about through the use of energy efficiency measures (a key feature in the Vienna Climate Change Talks 2007 was a United Nations report that showed how energy efficiency could yield significant cuts in emissions at low cost) and the substitution of renewable energy sources for fossil fuels and nuclear power (Note: nuclear power does not emit any greenhouse gases.,including transport electrification. Also proposed - as a method for mitigating global warming - is a direct quota on global fossil fuel production.

In the short term, much will remain the same, as I have heard in the first year of the deal the spending level only goes down by 1%, hardly enough to notice. In the medium to long term, there may be a larger impact, but even that is uncertain, since Congress can always come back and change it's mind once other more immediate crises loom.
I don't believe that much should change for students already studying here, and I also doubt that the U.S. would reduce this in the longer run either.

Use the information to calculate the investment multiplier for a 3 sector economy.?
Marginal propensity to save = 0.46
Tax rate = 0.11
Marginal propensity to import = 0.15|||Here is the formula
DY/DI = 1 / [1-c(1-t)+m]
DY: change in Y
DI: change in I

From where can i get information on employment in primary secondary and tertiary sectors of economy?
OK I've just had a quick look, you might be able to find something better, but go to
http://data.un.org/Search.aspx?q=employm鈥?/a>
scroll down to toward the bottom where the search terms start saying Table 2.3. These, as you'll see, are employment by industry for every country for each of the last thirty years.
Unfortunately, this is split up further than primary, secondary and tertiary (i.e. primary split into mining, forestry, and agriculture etc.) but you should be able to get something out of it.
Don't forget to go to page 2 of the results!
This is a Fantastic website for any economic stats by the way, bookmark it.
Otherwise you might be able to find stuff on nationmaster, the penn world tables, the world bank HDI data..

Information about economy of poland?
Economy - overview: Poland has steadfastly pursued a policy of economic liberalization since 1990 and today stands out as a success story among transition economies. In 2006, GDP grew 5.3%, based on rising private consumption, a 16.7% jump in investment, and burgeoning exports. Poland today has a thriving private sector which created more than 300,000 new jobs during 2006 alone. GDP per capita roughly equals that of the three Baltic states. Consumer price inflation - at 1.3% in 2006 - remains among the lowest in the EU. Since 2004, EU membership and access to EU structural funds has provided a major boost to the economy. Inflows of direct foreign investment exceeded $10 billion in 2006 alone - and more than $100 billion since 1990 - with major investments being announced by foreign firms in computer, consumer electronics, and automobile component production. In early 2006, Poland reached agreement with its EU partners that will permit it to benefit from EU funds totaling nearly $80 billion during 2007-13. Since 2002, even though the zloty appreciated 30%, Poland's exports more than doubled. Despite Poland's successes, more remains to be done. Unemployment, which stood at 15% in December 2006, is still the highest in the EU. An inefficient commercial court system, a rigid labor code, bureaucratic red tape, and persistent corruption keep the private sector from performing to its potential. Agriculture is handicapped by inefficient small farms and inadequate investment. Restructuring and privatization of the remaining state-owned industries, especially "sensitive sectors" such as coal, oil refining, railroads, and energy transmission and generation, have stalled due to concerns about loss of control over critical national assets and lay-offs. Reforms in health care, education, the pension system, and state administration have failed so far to reduce the government budget deficit, which was roughly 2.7 percent of GDP in 2006. Further progress in public finance depends mainly on reducing losses in Polish state enterprises, restraining entitlements, and overhauling the tax code. The previous Socialist-led government introduced a package of social and administrative spending cuts to reduce public spending by about $17 billion through 2007, but full implementation of the plan was trumped by election-year politics in 2005. The right-wing Law and Justice party won parliamentary elections in September 2005, and Lech KACZYNSKI won the presidential election in October, running on a state-interventionist fiscal and monetary platform. The new government has proceeded cautiously on economic matters, however, retaining, for example, the corporate income tax cuts initiated by the previous administration and indicating its intention to reduce the top personal income tax rate.

Fiscal year: calendar year|||http://www.google.com ?|||Since the fall of communism, Poland has steadfastly pursued a policy of liberalising the economy and today stands out as a successful example of the transition from a state-directed economy to a primarily privately owned market economy.
The privatisation of small and medium state-owned companies and a liberal law on establishing new firms have allowed the development of an aggressive private sector. As a consequence, consumer rights organisations have also appeared. Restructuring and privatisation of "sensitive sectors" such as coal, steel, railways, and energy has been continuing since 1990. Between 2007 and 2010, the government plans to float twenty public companies on the Polish stock market, including parts of the coal industry. To date (2007), the biggest privatisations have been the sale of the national telecoms firm Telekomunikacja Polska to France Telecom in 2000, and an issue of 30% of the shares in Poland's largest bank, PKO Bank Polski, on the Polish stockmarket in 2004.
Poland has a large number of private farms in its agricultural sector, with the potential to become a leading producer of food in the European Union. However, problems remain, especially under-investment. Structural reforms in health care, education, the pension system, and state administration have resulted in larger-than-expected fiscal pressures. Warsaw leads Central Europe in foreign investment[citation needed] and needs a continued large inflow. GDP growth had been strong and steady from 1993 to 2000 with only a short slowdown from 2001 to 2002. The prospect of closer integration with the European Union has put the economy back on track, with growth of 3.7% annually in 2003, a rise from 1.4% annually in 2002. In 2004, GDP growth equaled 5.4%, in 2005 3.3% and in 2006 5.8%. For 2007, the government has set a target for GDP growth at 6.5 to 7.0%.
The long standing head of the National Bank of Poland, Leszek Balcerowicz, was replaced by S艂awomir Skrzypek in January 2007. At first the markets reacted sceptically and fell, but since then have stabilized and then risen sharply.
Although the Polish economy is currently undergoing economic development, there are many challenges ahead. The most notable task on the horizon is the preparation of the economy (through continuing deep structural reforms) to allow Poland to meet the strict economic criteria for entry into the European Single Currency (Euro). There is much speculation as to just when Poland might be allowed to join the Eurozone, although the best guess estimates put the entry date somewhere between 2009 and 2013[citation needed]. For now, Poland is preparing to make the Euro its official currency (though it has not joined the ERM yet), and the Z艂oty may eventually be replaced by Euro in the Polish economy.
Since joining the European Union, many young Polish people have left their country to work in other EU countries (particularly Ireland and the UK) because of high unemployment, which is the highest in the EU (12.8% in December 2006).[4]
Products Poland produces include clothes, glass, china (Mikasa, Waterford), electronics, cars (such as luxury Leopard car), buses (Autosan, Jelcz SA, Solaris, Solbus), helicopters (PZL 艢widnik), transport equipment, locomotives, planes (PZL Mielec), ships, military engineering (including tanks, SPAAG systems), medicines (Polpharma, Polfa), food, chemical products and others.|||The Polish economy grew rapidly in the mid-1990s, slowed considerably in 2001 and 2002, and returned again to healthy growth rates in 2003. Poland鈥檚 gross domestic product (GDP) grew at an annualized rate of 5.2% in the first quarter of 2006. Faster growth has begun to reduce persistently high unemployment, from nearly 20% in the middle of 2004 to 16.5% in May 2006. Tight monetary policy and dramatic productivity growth have helped to hold down inflation, which was 2.1% in 2005. Likewise, Poland's current account deficit, which grew rapidly in the late 1990s, has since moderated to 1.4% of GDP in 2005. The 2005 budget deficit was 27.5 billion zloty, or 2.8% of GDP in 2005, and the current government pledged to restrain the 2006 and 2007 budgets at 30 billion zloty.
Throughout the 1990s, the United States and other Western countries supported the growth of a free enterprise economy by reducing Poland's foreign debt burden, providing economic aid, and lowering trade barriers. Poland graduated from USAID assistance in 2000 and paid the balance of its U.S.-held Paris Club debt in 2005. Poland officially joined the EU on May 1, 2004.
Agriculture
Agriculture employs 16.1% of the work force but contributes only 5% to the gross domestic product (GDP), reflecting relatively low productivity. Unlike the industrial sector, Poland's agricultural sector remained largely in private hands during the decades of communist rule. Most of the former state farms are now leased to farmer tenants. Lack of credit is hampering efforts to sell former state farmland. Currently, Poland's 2 million private farms occupy 90% of all farmland and account for roughly the same percentage of total agricultural production. These farms are small--8 hectares (ha) on average--and often fragmented. Farms with an area exceeding 15 ha accounted for only 9% of the total number of farms but cover 45% of total agricultural area. Over half of all farming households in Poland produce only for their own needs with little, if any, commercial sales.
Poland is a net exporter of confectionery, processed fruit and vegetables, meat, and dairy products. Processors often rely on imports to supplement domestic supplies of wheat, feed grains, vegetable oil, and protein meals, which are generally insufficient to meet domestic demand. However, Poland is the leading producer in Europe of potatoes and rye and is one of the world's largest producers of sugarbeets. Poland also is a significant producer of rapeseed, grains, hogs, and cattle. Attempts to increase domestic feed grain production are hampered by the short growing season, poor soil, and the small size of farms.
Pressure to restructure the agriculture sector intensified as Poland prepared to accede to the European Union, which is unwilling to subsidize the vast number of subsistence farms that do not produce for the market. The changes in agriculture are likely to strain Poland's social fabric, tearing at the heart of the traditional, family-based small farm as the younger generation drifts toward the cities. Nonetheless, dramatically increasing agricultural exports to the EU-15 (38% growth in 2005) and payments to farmers from Brussels following accession have enriched Polish commercial farmers and dramatically increase support for EU membership in Poland鈥檚 rural areas.
Industry
Before World War II, Poland's industrial base was concentrated in the coal, textile, chemical, machinery, iron, and steel sectors. Today it extends to fertilizers, petrochemicals, machine tools, electrical machinery, electronics, and shipbuilding.
Poland's industrial base suffered greatly during World War II, and many resources were directed toward reconstruction. The communist economic system imposed in the late 1940s created large and unwieldy economic structures operated under a tight central command. In part because of this systemic rigidity, the economy performed poorly even in comparison with other economies in central Europe.
In 1990, the Mazowiecki government began a comprehensive reform program to replace the centralized command economy with a market-oriented system. While the results overall have been impressive, many large state-owned industrial enterprises, particularly the railroad and the mining, steel, and defense sectors, have remained resistant to the change and downsizing required to survive in an open market economy.
Economic Reform Program
The economic reforms introduced in 1990 removed price controls, eliminated most subsidies to industry, opened markets to international competition, and imposed strict budgetary and monetary discipline. Poland was the first former centrally planned economy in central Europe to end its recession and return to growth in the early 1990s. Since 1992, the Polish economy has enjoyed an accelerated recovery, although growth has recently slowed. The private sector now accounts for over two-thirds of GDP.
In early 2002, the government announced a new set of economic reforms known as the Hausner Plan, designed in many ways to complete the process launched in 1990. The package acknowledged the need to improve Poland's investment climate, particularly the conditions for small and medium-sized enterprises, and better prepare the economy to compete as a European Union (EU) member. The government also aimed to improve Poland's public finances to prepare for eventual adoption of the euro. Though the government was able to enact only portions of the Hausner Plan, those successes coupled with successful monetary efforts to strengthen the zloty, have put Poland within reach of the National Bank鈥檚 goal of Euro accession in 2008-2009.
As a result of Poland's growth and investment-friendly climate, the country has received over $85 billion in direct foreign investment (DFI) since 1990, with roughly $7 billion in 2004 alone. According to a recently publish report by Ernst and Young, Poland is tied with Germany as the most attractive destination for foreign investment in Europe. The availability of cheap land and a large, relatively skilled labor force are among Polish strengths. However, the government continues to play a strong role in the economy, as seen in excessive red tape and the high level of politicization in many business decisions. Investors complain that state regulation is not transparent or predictable, and the economy suffers from a lack of competition in many sectors, notably telecommunications.
Foreign Trade
With the collapse of the ruble-based COMECON trading bloc in 1990, Poland scrambled to reorient its trade. As early as 1996, 70% of its trade was with EU-15 members, and neighboring Germany today is Poland's dominant trading partner. Most of Poland's imports are capital goods needed for industrial retooling and for manufacturing inputs, rather than imports for consumption. Therefore, a deficit is expected and should even be regarded as positive at this point. Poland, a member of the World Trade Organization (WTO) and European Union, applies the EU鈥檚 common external tariff to goods from other countries--including the U.S.
In the year since it joined the EU, Poland has experienced an overall growth in exports of 30%. This growth was not confined to trade among EU partners: while exports to EU countries rose by 27%, exports to developing countries rose by 46%, and exports to Russia rose an unexpected 77%. Poland鈥檚 trade balance continued to improve, with export growth significantly outpacing import growth. Opportunities for trade and investment continue to exist across virtually all sectors. The American Chamber of Commerce in Poland, founded in 1991 with seven members, now has more than 300 members. Strong economic growth potential, a large domestic market, EU membership, and political stability are the top reasons U.S. and other foreign companies do business in Poland.
NATIONAL SECURITY
Poland's top national security goal is to further integrate with the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) and other west European defense, economic, and political institutions via a modernization and reorganization of its military. Polish military doctrine reflects the same defense nature as its NATO partners.
Poland maintains a sizable armed force currently numbering about 140,572 troops divided among an army of 87,877, an air and defense force of 31,147, and a navy of 21,548. Poland relies on military conscription for the majority of its personnel strength. All males (with some exceptions) are subject to a 12-month term of military service. The Polish military continues to restructure and to modernize its equipment. The Polish Defense Ministry General Staff and the Land Forces staff have recently reorganized the latter into a NATO-compatible J/G-1 through J/G-6 structure. Although budget constraints remain a drag on modernization, Poland has been able to move forward with U.S. assistance on acquiring 48 F-16 multi-role fighters, C-130 cargo planes, HMMWVs, and other items key to the military鈥檚 restructuring.
Poland continues to be a regional leader in support and participation in the NATO Partnership for Peace Program and has actively engaged most of its neighbors and other regional actors to build stable foundations for future European security arrangements. Poland continues its long record of strong support for UN Peacekeeping Operations by maintaining a unit in Southern Lebanon, a battalion in NATO's Kosovo Force (KFOR), and by providing and actually deploying the KFOR strategic reserve to Kosovo. Polish military forces have served in both Operation Enduring Freedom in Afghanistan and Operation Iraqi Freedom.
Poland assumed command of a multinational division of stabilization forces in Iraq (MDN-CS) on September 3, 2003. Poland and its MND-CS partners have worked effectively since then to stabilize south central Iraq while working to train Iraqi forces to take over MND-CS responsibilities and operate independently.

GDP growth had been strong and steady from 1993 to 2000 with only a short slowdown from 2001 to 2002. The prospect of closer integration with the European Union has put the economy back on track, with growth of 3.7% annually in 2003, a rise from 1.4% annually in 2002. In 2004, GDP growth equaled 5.4%, in 2005 3.3% and in 2006 5.8%. For 2007, the government has set a target for GDP growth at 6.5 to 7.0%.
The long standing head of the National Bank of Poland, Leszek Balcerowicz, was replaced by S艂awomir Skrzypek in January 2007. At first the markets reacted sceptically and fell, but since then have stabilized and then risen sharply.
Although the Polish economy is currently undergoing economic development, there are many challenges ahead. The most notable task on the horizon is the preparation of the economy (through continuing deep structural reforms) to allow Poland to meet the strict economic criteria for entry into the European Single Currency (Euro). There is much speculation as to just when Poland might be allowed to join the Eurozone, although the best guess estimates put the entry date somewhere between 2009 and 2013[citation needed]. For now, Poland is preparing to make the Euro its official currency (though it has not joined the ERM yet), and the Z艂oty may eventually be replaced by Euro in the Polish economy.
Since joining the European Union, many young Polish people have left their country to work in other EU countries (particularly Ireland and the UK) because of high unemployment, which is the highest in the EU (12.8% in December 2006).[4]
Products Poland produces include clothes, glass, china (Mikasa, Waterford), electronics, cars (such as luxury Leopard car), buses (Autosan, Jelcz SA, Solaris, Solbus), helicopters (PZL 艢widnik), transport equipment, locomotives, planes (PZL Mielec), ships, military engineering (including tanks, SPAAG systems), medicines (Polpharma, Polfa), food, chemical products and others.|||The Polish economy grew rapidly in the mid-1990s, slowed considerably in 2001 and 2002, and returned again to healthy growth rates in 2003. Poland鈥檚 gross domestic product (GDP) grew at an annualized rate of 5.2% in the first quarter of 2006. Faster growth has begun to reduce persistently high unemployment, from nearly 20% in the middle of 2004 to 16.5% in May 2006. Tight monetary policy and dramatic productivity growth have helped to hold down inflation, which was 2.1% in 2005. Likewise, Poland's current account deficit, which grew rapidly in the late 1990s, has since moderated to 1.4% of GDP in 2005. The 2005 budget deficit was 27.5 billion zloty, or 2.8% of GDP in 2005, and the current government pledged to restrain the 2006 and 2007 budgets at 30 billion zloty.
Throughout the 1990s, the United States and other Western countries supported the growth of a free enterprise economy by reducing Poland's foreign debt burden, providing economic aid, and lowering trade barriers. Poland graduated from USAID assistance in 2000 and paid the balance of its U.S.-held Paris Club debt in 2005. Poland officially joined the EU on May 1, 2004.
Agriculture
Agriculture employs 16.1% of the work force but contributes only 5% to the gross domestic product (GDP), reflecting relatively low productivity. Unlike the industrial sector, Poland's agricultural sector remained largely in private hands during the decades of communist rule. Most of the former state farms are now leased to farmer tenants. Lack of credit is hampering efforts to sell former state farmland. Currently, Poland's 2 million private farms occupy 90% of all farmland and account for roughly the same percentage of total agricultural production. These farms are small--8 hectares (ha) on average--and often fragmented. Farms with an area exceeding 15 ha accounted for only 9% of the total number of farms but cover 45% of total agricultural area. Over half of all farming households in Poland produce only for their own needs with little, if any, commercial sales.
Poland is a net exporter of confectionery, processed fruit and vegetables, meat, and dairy products. Processors often rely on imports to supplement domestic supplies of wheat, feed grains, vegetable oil, and protein meals, which are generally insufficient to meet domestic demand. However, Poland is the leading producer in Europe of potatoes and rye and is one of the world's largest producers of sugarbeets. Poland also is a significant producer of rapeseed, grains, hogs, and cattle. Attempts to increase domestic feed grain production are hampered by the short growing season, poor soil, and the small size of farms.
Pressure to restructure the agriculture sector intensified as Poland prepared to accede to the European Union, which is unwilling to subsidize the vast number of subsistence farms that do not produce for the market. The changes in agriculture are likely to strain Poland's social fabric, tearing at the heart of the traditional, family-based small farm as the younger generation drifts toward the cities. Nonetheless, dramatically increasing agricultural exports to the EU-15 (38% growth in 2005) and payments to farmers from Brussels following accession have enriched Polish commercial farmers and dramatically increase support for EU membership in Poland鈥檚 rural areas.
Industry
Before World War II, Poland's industrial base was concentrated in the coal, textile, chemical, machinery, iron, and steel sectors. Today it extends to fertilizers, petrochemicals, machine tools, electrical machinery, electronics, and shipbuilding.
Poland's industrial base suffered greatly during World War II, and many resources were directed toward reconstruction. The communist economic system imposed in the late 1940s created large and unwieldy economic structures operated under a tight central command. In part because of this systemic rigidity, the economy performed poorly even in comparison with other economies in central Europe.
In 1990, the Mazowiecki government began a comprehensive reform program to replace the centralized command economy with a market-oriented system. While the results overall have been impressive, many large state-owned industrial enterprises, particularly the railroad and the mining, steel, and defense sectors, have remained resistant to the change and downsizing required to survive in an open market economy.
Economic Reform Program
The economic reforms introduced in 1990 removed price controls, eliminated most subsidies to industry, opened markets to international competition, and imposed strict budgetary and monetary discipline. Poland was the first former centrally planned economy in central Europe to end its recession and return to growth in the early 1990s. Since 1992, the Polish economy has enjoyed an accelerated recovery, although growth has recently slowed. The private sector now accounts for over two-thirds of GDP.
In early 2002, the government announced a new set of economic reforms known as the Hausner Plan, designed in many ways to complete the process launched in 1990. The package acknowledged the need to improve Poland's investment climate, particularly the conditions for small and medium-sized enterprises, and better prepare the economy to compete as a European Union (EU) member. The government also aimed to improve Poland's public finances to prepare for eventual adoption of the euro. Though the government was able to enact only portions of the Hausner Plan, those successes coupled with successful monetary efforts to strengthen the zloty, have put Poland within reach of the National Bank鈥檚 goal of Euro accession in 2008-2009.
As a result of Poland's growth and investment-friendly climate, the country has received over $85 billion in direct foreign investment (DFI) since 1990, with roughly $7 billion in 2004 alone. According to a recently publish report by Ernst and Young, Poland is tied with Germany as the most attractive destination for foreign investment in Europe. The availability of cheap land and a large, relatively skilled labor force are among Polish strengths. However, the government continues to play a strong role in the economy, as seen in excessive red tape and the high level of politicization in many business decisions. Investors complain that state regulation is not transparent or predictable, and the economy suffers from a lack of competition in many sectors, notably telecommunications.
Foreign Trade
With the collapse of the ruble-based COMECON trading bloc in 1990, Poland scrambled to reorient its trade. As early as 1996, 70% of its trade was with EU-15 members, and neighboring Germany today is Poland's dominant trading partner. Most of Poland's imports are capital goods needed for industrial retooling and for manufacturing inputs, rather than imports for consumption. Therefore, a deficit is expected and should even be regarded as positive at this point. Poland, a member of the World Trade Organization (WTO) and European Union, applies the EU鈥檚 common external tariff to goods from other countries--including the U.S.
In the year since it joined the EU, Poland has experienced an overall growth in exports of 30%. This growth was not confined to trade among EU partners: while exports to EU countries rose by 27%, exports to developing countries rose by 46%, and exports to Russia rose an unexpected 77%. Poland鈥檚 trade balance continued to improve, with export growth significantly outpacing import growth. Opportunities for trade and investment continue to exist across virtually all sectors. The American Chamber of Commerce in Poland, founded in 1991 with seven members, now has more than 300 members. Strong economic growth potential, a large domestic market, EU membership, and political stability are the top reasons U.S. and other foreign companies do business in Poland.
NATIONAL SECURITY
Poland's top national security goal is to further integrate with the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) and other west European defense, economic, and political institutions via a modernization and reorganization of its military. Polish military doctrine reflects the same defense nature as its NATO partners.
Poland maintains a sizable armed force currently numbering about 140,572 troops divided among an army of 87,877, an air and defense force of 31,147, and a navy of 21,548. Poland relies on military conscription for the majority of its personnel strength. All males (with some exceptions) are subject to a 12-month term of military service. The Polish military continues to restructure and to modernize its equipment. The Polish Defense Ministry General Staff and the Land Forces staff have recently reorganized the latter into a NATO-compatible J/G-1 through J/G-6 structure. Although budget constraints remain a drag on modernization, Poland has been able to move forward with U.S. assistance on acquiring 48 F-16 multi-role fighters, C-130 cargo planes, HMMWVs, and other items key to the military鈥檚 restructuring.
Poland continues to be a regional leader in support and participation in the NATO Partnership for Peace Program and has actively engaged most of its neighbors and other regional actors to build stable foundations for future European security arrangements. Poland continues its long record of strong support for UN Peacekeeping Operations by maintaining a unit in Southern Lebanon, a battalion in NATO's Kosovo Force (KFOR), and by providing and actually deploying the KFOR strategic reserve to Kosovo. Polish military forces have served in both Operation Enduring Freedom in Afghanistan and Operation Iraqi Freedom.
Poland assumed command of a multinational division of stabilization forces in Iraq (MDN-CS) on September 3, 2003. Poland and its MND-CS partners have worked effectively since then to stabilize south central Iraq while working to train Iraqi forces to take over MND-CS responsibilities and operate independently.

I need some information about mix economy?
its a kind of economy sys|||A mixed economy as the name implies, is a mixture of a planned economy and a free enterprise economy.
The simplest way to put it is this.
some things are owned by private individuals (mcdonalds, mansions, cars, televisions, security guards, shops,)
and others are owned by the public (council houses, the NHS, the police, the motorways, ambulances, hospitals)
Its different depends on which country you go
for example in France the government owns all the trains, so is in charge them
in Britain companies own the trains (like GNER, South-West etc..)
the public stuff can get sold to private people - for example margaret thatcher sold British Gas, the Postal Service, The water companies, and British Telecom.
so before they operated without making a profit, but now they do make a profit.
hope that helps - its well more complex than that, but i tried keep it simple.

President Clinton (at the urging of Acorn) made it extremely easy for people to buy houses even though they couldn't really afford them by issuing variable rate loans, reverse mortgages, etc. When the interest rate went up, these people could not afford to pay their mortgage any longer, so banks started foreclosing on houses. Now, when a bank forecloses on a house, they lose tons and tons of money because they financed it for, let's say 250,000 and after foreclosing they have to sell it as quickly as possible to get back as much money as possible. So they auction off that $250,000 house for $95,000. A side-effect of this is that neighboring houses lose value. When you buy a house or get your house appraised, they look at similar houses that have recently sold and use that value. So your $250,000 is now worth only $95,000 because of all the other $250,000 houses around you selling for $95,000. When your house is appraised for much less, the property tax goes down, so the government is now getting less money from you every year. Less government money means less money budgeted for schools, street repairs, etc. When banks start losing money, they start making it really hard for everyone else to get money (loans) because they want to minimize their loss. This means less money going around in the private sector. Less money = people spending less money = businesses closing down, government debt, people losing jobs due to layoffs (businesses trying to stay afloat), etc etc etc it just keeps going and going and going.

that they screw up is no surprise, it means little to them and they have many many people to help...that you let them screw up without checking on them regularly is a big mistake since you only have to keep an eye on one person's E I and if it doesnt come, it will be much worse for you than for some PAID government worker......
dont take it personally, but do SOMETHING...dont just sit there
