In addition the interest on the debt alone was £9 million per year. All of this made it clear to Pitt that something had to happen to try to escape from the mess the government was in. In the 18th century there was a serious problem with people smuggling goods such as tea and tobacco into the country. This was to avoid the duty tax on products, which gave them a huge profit margin. This profit margin made the risk worth taking for many, resulting in the government losing money due to be not paying duty tax.

As companies began to fail, the government devised the Smoot-Hawley Tariff in order to protect American businesses. The Tariff placed high taxes on imports leading to a decline in international trade.
With reference to extract one, assess the likely effect of a fall in the sterling exchange rate on the UK’s deficit in the trade of goods and services. (12 marks) A fall in the exchange rate of 25% means the pound becomes weaker, this means imports are more expensive, and exports are cheaper. As a result of this, this may mean a large increase in demand for exports and a considerable decrease in demand for imports, therefore decreasing the deficit of the balance of payments in the UK as predicted. However, if the goods we are importing and exporting are inelastic, meaning they have a less than proportional response to price, an increase in the price of imports, and a decrease in the price of exports may not have a great effect on the trade of goods and services and so therefore not improve on the deficit the UK holds. As stated in extract 1, it tells us that the goods we import are not made in the UK and so makes it impossible to replace the imports, therefore meaning that we still have to import goods, despite the high prices due to the low exchange rate of sterling.

Borrowers who did not meet their standards were forced to pay higher interest rates to subprime lenders, but the companies essentially persuaded investors to treat a vast number American families as if they were interchangeable. They took messy bunches of loans, with risks as variable as snowflakes, and created securities of uniform quality, easy to buy and sell. The result was one of the most popular investment products ever created. And in its absence, experts on housing finance say that fewer borrowers would qualify for the best interest

This is wrong because when the “guns ” become 9 and the “butter” become 40, the production point is out of the production possibilities for Pacifica.
C_Fad was a brand new product appealing to both markets; therefore more money was needed to ensure awareness and accessibility to our customers. A moderate sales forecast for Cake was set, based on year three’s final sales numbers, at 650 units, and C_Fad at 520 units, since we were unsure of its success in its first year on the market. Production amounts were set high because there was no inventory on-hand to begin year four, so the team was counting on not stocking out this year. With that in mind, 850 orders of Cake and 1,000 orders of C_Fad were set to be produced. The total amount of machines on-hand seemed appropriate for production, but the number designated to each product was altered since more units were being produced of C_Fad.
That depressed me.” This shows that Holden get depressed over the smallest things. This is concerning because it could lead to being depressed by bigger things. Another example is when Holden says “…I thought of her going in a store and buying it, and nobody in the store knowing she was a prostitute and all.

As long as foreigners are encouraged by our actions to ignore our immigration laws, we will forever be hard pressed to defend our borders. And, not only will America’s most vulnerable workers (minimum-wage) suffer from unfair competition against illegal aliens for jobs, but that competition will become even harsher because of the newly legalized workers competing for jobs from employers who precisely hire only legal workers (Martin 2011). Many argue that they are an economic benefit.
economy. These illegal immigrants have been contributed to the growth of the economy because of the low labor cost. However, they become a burden of economy gradually. The illegal immigrants take over the federal government expenditure. For example, in the Heritage study, the low-income immigrant households became surrogates for illegal foreign households, which would cause the 38 percent of total federal expenditures on general public goods on illegal aliens (Martin & Ruark, 2010, p. 30).
