in the red to....... the Federal Reserve Bank. Some say the Federal Reserve is not Federal (government owned) they only use the word Federal as a smokscreen to hide the true owners. Understandably the dollar is not backed by gold anymore....so much paper money is in circuilation, how could it be backed by gold and or silver.

ok, im a dunce when it comes to economics and i don't understand how a piece of paper with george washingtons face on it can rise and fall in value for no apparant reason.....but if the us mint makes all the money, why can't they just print up a million thousand dollar bills and take them up in a plane and drop them over impovrished neighborhoods..?

i mean, they got the printing presses that make the money...why can't they just make alot more money in bigger denominations and hand them out to poor people.....i mean if i had a money maker, thats what i'd do

I am having a hard time on the following question

You are given the following:

QS = 100 + 3P
QD = 400 - 2P

I know that Equilibirum Price = 60 and Equilibirum Quantity = 280.

Now, suppose that a tax is placed on buyers so that
QD = 400-(2P + T)

If T = 15, solve for the new equilibrium price and quantity. (Note: P is the price received by sellers and P+T is the price paid by buyers.) Compare these answers for equilibrium price and quantity with your first answers.

Here in Ontario, Canada, there's been an increase of 20 cents per liter because of March break (also because the oil execs need to buy a new private jet because their old one is almost a year old.) The idea keeps popping up about a boycott of gas stations to break this 'they-have-us-at-their-mercy' rule. But inevitably some economists and/or oil spokesperson comes out and says it won't work be because of the theory of supply and demand. Well why can't we trash the supply and demand theory??? Let's call it the Be-As-One theory. If we, the consumers, all act as one and boycott a certain brand of gas station for a month (or a year) what would happen? That particular brand would lose money and would eventually close. The other brand would increase their prices in the short term to compensate for increased demand (gouging like they do now) but when they see that our consumer protest against predatory pricing is able to shut down a brand then they may want to think twice about it.
