It was also during this period the US national debt became balanced for the first time in decades. In the 2000’s President Bush (43) following the 9/11 attacks, Bush retracted several government regulations and programs and moved towards a free market. This later caused one of the largest recessions since the Great Depression, at the beginning of President Obama’s administration. Obama‘s administration has since implemented one of the largest US government bailouts of US finance banking system since the Great Depression and the takeover of General Motors along with regulations that has since turned the economy around and has led to a growth in GDP during
The strength of the economy encouraged Americans to take out more loans and buy more stocks, making them susceptible to future changes in the economy. The freedom caused financial markets to crash globally which helped power the Great Depression. Another example of lack of government intervention was the robber barons, a term referring to the wealthy and powerful businessmen in the 18th century. They were also known as “pure capitalists”, because they believed in an economic system that involved minimal interference from the government. Those working for robber barons were beaten and threatened, and the working conditions were terrible.

[11] Legal digital downloads became widely available with the debut of the iTunes Store in 2003. The popularity of internet music distribution has increased and in 2009 more than a quarter of all recorded music industry revenues worldwide are now coming from digital channels.
With the help of Hopkins and Perkins, Roosevelt introduced help for the unemployed and those too old to work. Roosevelt was seen as great success as governor of New York and he was the obvious choice as the Democratic presidential candidate in 1932. Although Roosevelt was vague about what he would do about the economic depression, he easily beat his unpopular Republican rival, Herbert Hoover. Roosevelt's first act as president was to deal with the country's banking crisis. Since the beginning of the depression, a fifth of all banks had been forced to close.
American’s can’t “pinpoint any lasting way in which the stunning attacks brought Americans together, strengthened our national character, made us more willing to sacrifice or even changed the daily routine for most citizens of the United States”. The shaky economy is still present today, the United States’ GDP accounted for about 23 present of the world’s outputs. Today that has gone to about 19 present. The nation is in debt, 5.8 billion in 2001 and now over 15 trillion in 2011 which is about 100 present GDP. People wanted a memorial for 9/11 but this will cost the country more money and that fact that it will put them even more under isn’t helping either.
The unemployment rate was at about 9.5 percent to 9.7 percent in the beginning of 2010 up until December and then it started to slightly decline. It got down to 8.8 percent but then rose over 9 percent again by May of 2011 and has stayed around that percentage. This may be a sign that jobs are being created and hopefully the unemployment rate will experience another decrease during 2011. The unemployment rates by age showed that the 16-19 age group is having the worst time with unemployment. The unemployment rates for 16-19 year olds has stayed pretty steadily around 25 percent since the beginning of 2010 until the present and has never been below 24.5 percent.

Luis Cholotío-García ENC1102 – Professor Fiedler April 24, 2012 Research Project The Fiscal Effects of a Comprehensive Immigration Reform The critics of immigration reform declare that legalizing 11.5 million immigrants will cost billions of dollars, which will increase the federal debt. Moreover, they blame the undocumented population for taking the jobs of American citizens, and for contributing negatively to the recession that the country is currently experiencing. However, pro-immigration reform studies have concluded the opposite stating that the law will have a dramatic, positive economic impact. Immigrants arrived freely in the United States of America since before the settlement of the thirteen colonies in 1776. Since then—236
