The Fiscal Cliff Allison Stewart, Khristy Parham, Ronnie Adger, Steve Fincher ECON 2003 Mr. Alfred Bundrick January 8, 2013 The phrase “Fiscal Cliff” has been in the news for months but many U.S. citizens are not sure what this means or how it will affect them. With the president and both parties of congress blaming the opposing party for the economic situation that the nation now finds itself in, it is understandable that people are confused. However, the fiscal cliff is a real danger to an already weak U.S. economy and if not handled properly, could send the nation spiraling into a deep recession. To understand the economic conundrum the nation is facing the term Fiscal Cliff must be defined and, if allowed to occur, what impact will
The stock market crash of 1929 set a chain of events in motion that plunged America into a depression America never saw coming. The Great Depression led to the exposure of dramatic weaknesses in the U.S. economy that forever changed America. With no real help from President Hoover, American people were at a loss of what to do with their lives which were quickly going down the drain. The U.S. as a whole was in between a rock and a hard place with no escape in sight. With Hoover’s presidency in shambles, Franklin D. Roosevelt easily stepped into power by winning the hearts and minds of the American people.
The Great Depression was the greatest fall of the economy in the history of the world. Today's financial situation is hardly that harsh, although it does have some resemblance. In both the Great Depression and our economy today, unemployment was high and the value of the dollar was low. The economic collapse of 2008 continues to be at the top of the nation’s attention. It is still devastating jobs, bankrupting businesses, and forcing homeowners into foreclosure.
The senior leadership at BAE failed to calculate the total risk of taking on a project of this scope. Although, BAE had 90% of the market share in this industry the scope was unattainable. When DIA made the decision to approach BAE about expanding the baggage system they were already halfway complete with many of the terminals and concourse and were just two years away from the original open date in October 1993. This meant that BAE would have to tear up certain sections of the airport and redesign around the new integrated system. This alone cost millions in delays and rework.

True, during the time of the war, and for about ten years post-war, the US economy soared to all time highs. But shortly after, when the costs of the war had kicked in and the debts came rolling in, what followed was the greatest depression America had ever faced. People lived in “Hoovervilles”, thirteen million people became unemployed, the income of an average American family decreased by 40%, there was more emigration than immigration, racial tensions ran high, etc. These are just some of the consequences of the Great Depression, part of which was caused by the debt of a war that America could have avoided, thus avoiding such a hard blow by the Depression. Had America stayed out of the war, the economy might have not been affected as seriously as it was by the Great
(Former president George W. Bush has affected our nation in many different ways. No other president in the history of this nation has done something like it. His impact in our economy and a war that started almost 10 years ago, the consequences of such acts are something that we will have to deal with for years. With in the past of the years our Economy has being declining; every year it seems to be getting worse than the one before. Most people are blaming all of this to our current president.
In today’s current news nothing is more prominent than that of the American government and it’s struggles. The American Economy has been a main focus of thousands of Americans for the past few years. A lot that has been argued deals with the massive difference between the upper 1% of the nation and the angry 99% of the rest. Occupy Wall Street deals with these angry 99% looking for some sort of reciprocation from these individuals and the hopes that they can began to enjoy their lives without the fear of becoming broke and possibly homeless due to the failing economy of the U.S.A. ("Occupy Wall Street"). This movement has highly appealed to the youth of this nation especially that of the college graduate students that are still struggling to
Talk to the heads of America's corporations. They have sucked all the money out of the system, and don't know how to create any more. According to Deloitte, asset profitability for American firms has steadily fallen 75% over the last 40 years. In other words, corporations have managed to absorb all the money, but they don't know how to do anything with it. They have no skills, no competencies and no
