ECO/372 Learning Team Aggregate Demand and Supply Models The Keynesian economists would look at the current proposal of increasing taxes as a governmental expression of the intermediate approach to the economy. The government taking control and having the people pay the price for their higher tax bracket. These funds would be used to decrease the amount of money owed by the United States.

Are we living in an age of consensus or adversarial politics? At the current time i believe there is large agreement on how the country should be run and what needs to be done to keep it running smoothly between all 3 main politic parties. The big separation between the parties is on how all of their policies should be carried out. For example, on the UK's current financial situation, all three Parties have expressed their belief that the deficit produced during the Financial Crisis must be neutralised (the end is agreed upon), but whereas the Conservatives and Liberal Democrats argue that the UK's debt should be cut through large Public Sector cuts and small tax rises, Labour supports a greater balance between Public Sector cuts and tax rises. Therefore, despite the argue amount of agreement regarding the ends they would like the country to reach, the means with which they want to do this remains controversial.

One of the ways through which President George W. Bush tried to improve the economy was by signing the Andean Trade Preference Act that helped to improve the relationship between entrants into the global market (Lind &Tamas, 2007). The President used a cross partisan method to reach out to moderate Democrats and have them support his policies.
