Social Science - 18 March 2007

One alternative to balancing the budget annually or cyclically is to produce a government budget that would be balanced if the economy were at potential output. Given the cyclical nature of government tax revenues and spending, how would the resulting budget deficit or surplus vary over the business cycle?

The budgets passed by Congress and signed by the president show the relationship between budgeted expenditures and projected revenues. Why does the budget require a forecast of the economy? Under what circumstances would the actual government spending and tax revenue fail to match the budget as approved?

If I read about someone in the newspaper being raped or murdered it shocks me or saddens me and then I wonder why such a thing has to happen and I wish that things could be different. I want to change things. But I know people that will be saddened or shocked but move on with life. I eventually move on myself but I always feel like I wish that I could help to change these things. And Is it wrong to want someone that loves you for who you are and not just a body part? People think that I am asexual or something because I don't believe that sex is the most important thing in life and that I'd rather get to know someone. I'd rather have a complete person.

I know there are similiar questions on this subject that have already been answered on here but i thought i'd just ask a question from my situation.
In my group at college most of the people are very loud and outspoken, i feel very uncomfortable around these people and i feel i cant say anything infront of them because i'll make myself look stupid. However,i have made a few good friends who are on the same level as me, who i can be myself infront of and we have a laugh together, then as soon as it goes back to being infront of the loud people, i go really quiet and hardly say anything, i try but i just cant. none of the loud people can understand why i'm quiet, they think i'm being rude or ignorant. it's so difficult for me and i'm now known as the girl who never speaks, which frustrates me because i know that i'm not that girl, not meaning to sound big-headed but i can make people laugh and i am a happy person but i just cant break out of the shell incase people dont like it!:(

Why then do these same white people complain about the African-Americans sucking up welfare money and stealing cars? Is it because they don't want them stealing away their welfare money and foodstamp dollars?
