I just need information to why increased government spending will increase interest rates and how this would affect the Australian economy. I know that the Federal Budget was mildly expansionary this year but how would this increase in spending lead to an increase in interest rates before the 2007 Federal election (i know an interest rate rise has already occurred but why did it occur)

Thank you

Ok, I asked this question before but I wasn't specific enough, I guess. Just so I don't need to re-type the entire question again, http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20071001150014AANY1rJ


My idea of a simple life: I would want a small house/apartment. A "small" house/apartment to me is pretty much 1 Bedroom, 1 Bathroom, 1 Kitchen, and my office. Maybe not even a bedroom. I mattress on the floor is good enough for a bedroom. The office would have a lot of books (like my own small library), a lot of maps, and my computer. I don't want to own a car, I'd sooner just walk or take the bus. Therefore, gas is of no importance for me. I don't want to own a TV or DVD Player or anything like that. The BIGGEST I'd want my house/apartment to be is 1200 square feet. I would also like to do a lot of traveling in my life time. The reason why I am asking this is because I think I would really like to be a Cartographer when I am older (I have been trying to find a career I would want to do

In the United States, what would be a comfortable yearly income (i.e. $40, 000 a year, $55, 000 a year, etc.) for a single person? What I mean by comfortable is a small house/apartment living a fairly simple life.

Now, the same question but instead of the United States, what would be a comfortable living in a modern European country (i.e. Iceland, France, Luxembourg, etc.). Use American dollars.

Suppose that a new law requires every department store in Springfield to carry $10 million worth of fire insurance. True or False: If there is only one department store in Springfield, then none of the insurance costs will be passed on to consumers, but if there are many stores, then some of the costs might be passed on.
