Economics - February 2007

uuuuugh! I chose a human services field. I'm happy w/ what I do, and am blessed with a lot. I don't mean to b*ch, but honestly... doesn't it seem like it's just getting too too expensive out there? It seems like here in the USA, we pay so much more for less! Thoughts?

I have always wondered whether our Capitalistic system creates homlesness and why the people who create it the most seem to be helping the people who they exploit. Is there is any reality anyone can see in a capitalist system where there are no homeless people, I realize the ideals of the founding fathers in private property ownership might be part of the reason but people is there a solution? I don't really have a problem with the economic system but I would love it if someone had a solution.

The "income gap" is the growing gap between the median income of the top group and bottom group - many economists use "quintiles" or 20% but the below is applicable to 10%, 5%, etc... for the last 25 years.

All groups' incomes are rising, the top group is rising fastest. Individual membership in each group turns over - of the bottom group, 85.5% won't be in it 10 years from now, 15% will be in the top group and 63% will be in the top 60%.

Statistically if most but not all individuals' incomes rise, the top group will increase by most and the bottom group will increase by the least, because individuals in the bottom group moving up will soon leave it, while individuals in the top group moving up just keep bringing the group up, and because most new entrants to the economy (young people and immigrants) start at the bottom.

Some people compare "groups" in the relative, without the detail, and spin it to support a bogus "feudal" world view - a fairly transparent shell-game. Why?

I have to write a short essay that answers the question, "Why do we study economics?"
Not onlydo I have to provide MY personal thoughts to this question, but I have to also include the opinions of others.
friends, colleagues, family members, teachers, etc.
and ask them this question and if they think studying economics is important and why or why not. How can understanding economics benefit you as you prepare for life?
Do you think understanding the economy is more important now than it was 20, 30, 50 years ago?

And I don't have anyone to interview, no this is not a term paper or anything like that so please..

The beltway parties buy votes by using fiscal and monetary policy to achieve " zero unemployment with price stability".

In order to stop this, the Federal Reserve act of 1913, along with the 16th amendment need to be repealed.

Have American citizen/taxpayer/voters become too factionalized into camps of left and right for this to occur?

why shouldn't all the laws, regulations, entitlement and social programs, that restrict the economy, be scraped in favor of the American economy only being checked by what the Constitution says about the economy(Art 1 Sec8 clausues) (art1 sec 9 clauses)(art1 sec 10 clauses) and those results balnced in a way that does not negitivly impact our sovereignty and Independence?

Because that's basically the flawed reasoning behind the "income gap" hysteria.
