Noting unrestrained governmental spending and not enough taxes to keep up, it seems that inflation will rule. If the Federal Reserve keeps on printing more and more paper, isn't it inevitable that the dollar collapses and a worldwide depression takes over?

Similar headlines in the news today surfaced around the stock markets oversea's in China being down 8.8%....is this spelling out a change in who the world economic leader is, because it doesn't seem to be the U.S. anymore? Being as the U.S. owes China so much money, and the drop in their stock market rippled over into the US market it would seem China is the worlds economy.

Yes, open borders can induce freer labor markets, but can't managed migration help out as well? Countries which fail to maintain a stable economy cannot support global economic reform, so shouldn't countries manage the influx and outflow of their population to some extent?

How is income and wealth are distributed in the United States?? Well there are some statistics but I don't know if they answer my question. Here are the statistics I am working with:

-In 2000, the top 1% had 20% of all the income in the U.S., the next 19% had 38.7%, and the bottom 80% 41.4% of the income.

-In 1998, the bottom 99% held 61.9% of wealth in the U.S. while top 1% held 38.1%

Can you please help me I'm really confused. Does this mean that the wealth and income is more heavily distributed among the rich than the medium and lower classes or does it mean that the distribution is even among all classes? Please help I will greatly appreciate it!! Thank you!!

Plot these data points, and identify the four phases of the business cycle. Give a theory that may explain the cause of the observed business cycle. What are some of the consequences of a prolonged decline in real GDP? Is the decline in real GDP from $1,000 billion to $500 billion a recession?

I'm an Indian non-immigrant to the United States these past few months. Back in India, I get electricity for 16 hours a day, and running water for only 2 hours a day, when the taps do run. I have to wait for weeks to get cooking gas. It takes me 4 hours a day to travel to my workplace and back through hot and filthy crowded trains. At work, I do 65-hour weeks to keep my job, There is no kind of social security, it takes more than two years for an income tax refund, I have to beg on my knees of corrupt government officials if I need so much as a driver's licence or a birth certificate, and the place where I live is so crowded, there is no place to even park a bike. The environment is sick and diseased, and the only affordable food I can buy from the open markets is packed away in cloth bags for the night on the streets, and serves as a toilet for stray dogs. That nation of mine called India is actually set to surpass the superior American economy by 2050!Could it be really true?
