Economics - January 2007

President Bush wants a level playing field to compete with the rest of the world. Is that a euphemism for low US wages.

Give me math, science, foreign language, music- OK, I can get into that. Give me history and economics and I'm lost at SEA.
So I'm looking at this great LAND, and the debate over the minimum wage (http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070130/ap_on_go_co/minimum_wage),
and all I can think is,
you press this lever, and things shift like this. You press this button, and POP! there goes the seam that was holding everything together over there.
I know it's a grotesquely simple concept, but am I seeing the forest from way outside of the trees, or what?

I was reading the other day that the US was at 8,689,103,419,475 dollars and 70 cents, and it is probably a few more millions as we speak, cost of the Iraq war is about 170,000/per minute,(Nationalpriorities.org) so let's say approximately 2,833 dollars and 33 cents per second. That's without taken into consideration, immigration, health care, education, security, public housing, environment, etc. My first question is where all that money come from, and when do you expect the US to collapse? I'm a student, so make your answer useful and knowledgeable

In the film "A Beautiful Mind", there's a scene where four guys are in the bar and five women walk in - one incredibly hot. Russell Crowe says:

"If we all go for the blonde and block each other, not a single one of us is going to get her. So then we go for her friends, but they will all give us the cold shoulder because no on likes to be second choice. But what if none of us goes for the blonde? We won't get in each other's way and we won't insult the other girls. It's the only way to win. It's the only way we all get laid."

Do you think this is a true case of Nash Equilibrium? If not why not, and if you do why? I have to present this and need some rationale!!

Thanks!

Paragraph 1:Every tax ought to be levied at the time, or in the manner, in which it is most likely to be convenient for the contributor to pay. Paragraph 2:Every tax ought to be so contrived as to take out and to keep out of the pockets of the people as little as possible over and above what it brings into the public treasury. I would like them seperate, please. Thanks.

Please read my question in the following context.
USD to Indian Rs (INR) exchange rate is approx 1:44 however as per the PPP (Purchasing Power Parity) the real rate is 1:10. This is controleed by Indian govt. However they are working on a 5 year plan to make the Indian currency fully convertible. Does that mean the exchange rate would move towards the real raito ? It might be useful to keep in ming the high projected economy growth rate and the opening up of economy by Indian government. India is opening up its retail and other service industries, which the big investors are eagerly waiting for a long time. Retail alone is expected to be bigger than IT. NYSE has already bought 5% stake in Indian National Stock Exchange and 60 billion dollars is waiting to enter the Indian financial market (mutual funds).
Befor ending my this posting, I would really like to thank you for all your time and help to answer my question.
