What are the advantages and disadvantages of deficit spending and the effects of federal government borrowing on the economy?

Write an essay analyzing the advantages and disadvantages of deficit spending and the effects of federal government borrowing on the economy i.e., the “crowding out” effect. During the Great Recession, like any other economic downturns, as unemployment rises, aggregate income declines causing a major decline in tax collections. On the other hand, with the rise in unemployment, spending on safety net programs rise. So, there are not too many good options available to resort the health of the national economy.   It will be very difficult to defend cuts in the federal government programs and especially the programs geared to sustain the minimum of the standard of living for the recent “poor.” So, government needs to increase its borrowing. Deficit spending refers to government spending exceeding what it brings in federal income and corporate taxes during a certain period. Deficit spending hence increases government debt. Most economists accept that deficit spending is desirable and necessary as part of countercyclical fiscal policy. In such a case, government increases its borrowing and hence its deficit to compensate for the shortfall in aggregate demand. This is derived from Keynesian economics, and has been the mainstream economics view.   Following John Maynard Keynes, many economists recommend deficit spending to moderate or end a recession, especially a severe one. When the economy has high unemployment, an increase in government purchases creates a market for business output, creating income and encouraging increases in consumer spending, which creates further increases in the demand for business output. (This is the multiplier effect).  This raises the real gross domestic product (GDP) and the level of employment and lowers the unemployment rate. Government borrowing under such circumstances increases the demand for borrowing and thus pushes interest rates up. Rising interest rates can “crowd out” (discourage) fixed private investment spending, canceling out some of the demand stimulus arising from the deficit

Depression Treatment Plan

Scenario Two: JackJack, an 87-year-old widower who lives alone in his family home, was diagnosed with dementia and the early stages of Alzheimer’s disease 7 years ago. Jack’s son, daughter-in-law, and grandchildren live less than 15 minutes away. Jack is not allowed to drive anymore, but sneaks out and drives his car whenever he feels like it. Jack’s long-term memory is very clear when asked about events that happened 10-plus years ago, but his short-term memory is not as clear. Jack cannot remember dates or details and becomes frustrated and aggravated when he cannot find things. When aggravated, Jack goes through his house pulling things out of drawers, which makes a huge mess. Jack attends daytime activities for seniors at a local community church, but he can only do so once every other week due to lack of transportation. He is also required to take several different medications, but cannot remember when or if he has already taken them.Jack’s family does not believe he needs to move into a residential facility. In fact, Jack’s family purchased him a small dog that he named Rosie. The family states Jack’s overall attitude has improved since he’s had Rosie, and he seems to always remember things related to her care.ANSWER EACH QUESTION IN 100 WORDS AFTER READING THE SCENARIO AND FILL OUT THE ATTCH FILE

San Bernardino Valley Collge Philosophy Think a piece

PLEASE READ THE ATTACHED ARTICLE AND ANSWER THE QUESTIONSThe central question is – how should the author feel about her great-grandfather? Her father tells her that her great-grandfather is worthy of respect, and the author’s father speaks of him in rather glowing terms. The father says, for instance – “I can never be ashamed of him… Why should I be? His business was legitimate at the time. He was respected by everyone around.”Given the totality of the author’s great-grandfather’s life, what is the appropriate response? Horror at being engaged in the slave trade? Pride in the prestige brought to the family name and her great-grandfather’s hard work and industriousness?What is the major factor in your assessment of the appropriate feelings? Do certain factors outweigh others? For example – one might say that her great-grandfather worked hard to elevate his family and this outweighs any consideration of the brutality of his chosen profession. On the other hand, one might say that, no matter how hard working and industrious her great-grandfather was, he still built his family’s position on the backs of his fellow human beings.What obligations does the family now have to those harmed? The author discusses paying reparations. Should the author’s family do so? Why or why not?There is no right or wrong answer. But that doesn’t mean you can just give any answer. Whatever answer you provide; I am looking for you to be thorough and rigorous in your reasoning.Don’t just tell me what you think, but why you think it. Walk me through your entire though process. The more detailed, the better.In addition, don’t give me a cop out answer. Don’t tell me that Nwaubani can feel however she wants, don’t tell me you don’t know how she should feel. Give me an answer.I don’t have to agree with your answer, but I better know what it is.

Nutrition discussion (Fats – what’s the latest?

Fats do not cause people to become overweight in and of themselves. Total calories in relation to the person’s metabolism, activity, life stage, muscle composition, and many other factors help in determining how many calories a day we need (we will learn this in the energy metabolism module later in the semester). However, because fats are more than twice the caloric value of sugars & starches, this is part of the reason why the AMDR is 20-35% and the AMDR range is at 45-65%. But, saturated fats, regardless of one’s weight, are the least healthy type of fat. Very few subjects related to nutrition are debated as much as the fats–which are good, which are not, and how to make food choices that take everything we know about them into account. A classic example is the advice on butter vs. margarine, which has gone back and forth over the years, in response to the evolving science. In the most recent update of the USDA Dietary Guidelines, it has been determined from the scientific data that cholesterol is no longer of concern from foods, and will not cause a rise in LDL if consuming excess cholesterol. HOWEVER, saturated fats will cause an increase in LDL levels in blood and therefore are to be avoided to reduce risk of heart disease.As we learned, LDL is carrying 50% or more cholesterol through the bloodstream to the cells, however, too high of a level of LDL in circulation is not a good thing. So, along with an increase in all calories (where excess calories are stored in adipose tissue), perhaps too much in excess sugars (which would be converted to fats in excess) and saturated fats can affect levels in blood, however, cholesterol in food is no longer considered a factor.

Infrastructure in Homeland Security Discussion Response

Reply to Thread :Brenda,Critical infrastructure and key resources are the make up of every country. To be more specific, they are the essential elements of comfortable survival. These elements include water treatment facilities, transportation, electricity facilities, water dams, and agriculture. All of these elements are greatly significant for everyone’s lives and for our national security. The method to destroy an adversary is to weaken their resources, and if someone were to do that to the United States, there would be chaotic repercussions due to the outage of these resources. For instance, when hurricane Maria hit Puerto Rico, the lack of potable water and the lack of electricity deemed the island in the state of national emergency.The only experience I have that has anything to do with infrastructure is at a small scale and not at a national level. I have been responsible for setting up transportation for individuals, food, waste, etc. In the even that I did not do my job, unnecessary waste would have accumulated causing the work space to not be “habitable.” Or leaving troops without transportation would have made the entire mission collapse without the presence of required personnel. As far as a personal interest in infrastructure, I have always found it interesting how different elements come together in order to form a functioning society. In addition, my current job in the military is key to observing and protecting key infrastructure of the United States. This class will be extremely beneficial to my personal and professional development.
