    The article is talking about the economy of US right now. The aggregate demand is far lower than potential and government is cutting expenditure rapidly. However, the author thought that's not the right way of doing it. Although the money is short, government is still supposed to take necessary actions to induce recovery.

    Mervyn King, the governor of the Bank of England, said that the economy should be left alone in order for the "automatic stabilizers to work." He said that the "government's plan to aid home buyers shouldn't become permanent."

    The article is talking about the strengthening housing recovery and robust auto sales contributed to moderate growth across the United States.Employers added only 88,000 jobs in March, a sharp slowdown from average gains of 220,000 in November through February. And consumers cut back on their spending at retail stores and restaurants last month, a sign that higher Social Security taxes have made more Americans cautious about spending.Debate was about Fed policymakers about when to rein in the bond-buying program, which began last fall.The Fed is expected to stick with plans to keep short-term interest rates at record lows at least until unemployment falls to 6.5 percent. And it will likely continue purchasing $85 billion a month in Treasury and mortgage bonds to lower long-term rates and encouraging more borrowing.

Housing Market Moving Towards Equilibrium - 0 views

market equilibrium prices housing price mechanism

    According to statistics of various communities in Naples, Florida, the housing market of that area is beginning to take a change. Many areas are beginning to shift in the amounts of real estate available versus the demand for this housing. Due to the concepts of the price mechanism, when less housing is available than what is demanded the price of real estate will increase, signalling what is possibly the recovery of the economy.

    The housing market really is a complicated idea. It seems that the more governments foreclose houses, the more the are hurting the economy. This makes it very hard to better the housing market.

    A new poll shows that India's economic recovery may not go according to plan. The country aimed this year to keep the fiscal deficit at 5.3% of Gross Domestic Product, .5% lower than last year's. Reuters polled 21 different economists to get their opinion on the matter, and most agree that India's higher spending on fuel and fertilizer subsidies could keep the country from reaching its new goal. Because of this, it seems likely that India's credit rating will soon be downgraded from BBB- to a "junk-bond" status.

      This article asses Obama's stimulus plan. It talks off how congress passed the ARRA stimulus package which injected $787billion into the government sector. Obama stated that this package wouldnt allow the unemployment rate to pass 8% however it reached 10%. Obama said that the depth of the recession couldnt be foreseen however there were many people who predicted it.

      The article then goes on by stating Obama does not know the concept of opportunity cost. $787billion was taken out of the federal reserve to pay for federal programs resulting into the weakening of the current dollar value and inflation. This had an impact on everyone, nearly $7000 per household. Government jobs do not make a salary and therefore do not stimulate the economy. This can also lead to an increase in taxes whilst still barely benefiting the community. Opportunity cost kicks in here as the obama administration thought that this was the next big thing as apposed to injecting it to private sector. The article too talks about how private businesses contribute to the economy even if the company is failing as it still receives services and eventually the more efficient company will take over. Moreover they can make profits and they can better the economy by hiring or purchasing consumer goods.
