I havent studied economics but it seems logical as to purchase a house a mortgage lender will multiply your wage to see how much they can lend you. If salaries dont increase isnt there an imbalance? If so what problems could this cause ?

What is an example of a specialized worker and capital in a school to provide education? Does this mean a history teacher is a specialized worker because their strength is in history, so that is what they teach? And something like a chalk board or overhead projector is an example of the capital because it is used to teach children?

Houses aren't some kind of disposable consumable like a napkin or something. Houses stay around for an awfully long time - but... housing units seem to be built (in North America at least) faster than the population increases. Shouldn't there be a major glut of housing on the market all the time, making house prices in a constant state of deflation?

My Economics class' discussion tomorrow is going to be on how scarcity affects my daily life. Now, I am not quite out of high school yet, so how can it affect me? I understand the concept that unlimited wants of people cannot be met due to the limited amount of resources, but I cannot think of a single thing that is even remotely scarce in my life. What can there be? Is gasoline even considered scarce as it was back in the '70s?

During the cold war the argument against Communism was that it could not produce economic benefits. Stories of poor goods and services, long waits for desired products, etc. in the U.S.S.R. portrayed capitalism as the "smart choice". But now the fastest growing economy in the world is China. Does this mean the anti-Communists had it wrong?

What are the differences between these two economic systems? Specifically, what makes the two different. I understand that capitalism lets individuals handle their own businesses and production and distribution while socialism, the government controls all that. What else makes these two systems entirely different?

All of these people that say they are tired of expensive health care and that the "government" ought to step in and "provide affordable health care" -- do these people not realize that WE are the government, and that the money that the government has comes from WE THE PEOPLE?

In other words, either way, WE are going to be funding health care. Are people REALLY that stupid? I mean come on, which in the end do YOU think will be more expensive - health care financed by the private sector or by the government?

Does the government do ANYTHING better or cheaper than the private sector?

If you think health care is expensive now, wait until it's free.
