The article relates more to monetary policies and demand-side policies but I believe that it can be connected to supply side policies. In fact, the government is spending a lot of money meaning that those money could be invested for supply-side policies. It doesn't say how much money the government will spend, but the increase in government spending could be related to supply side policies and an increase in the supply of products/goods and services.

Now, I'm not much of the political type but, when I saw this title, I have to admit it drew me in. After about the first five or six sentences you can tell this is an article from the far left of the political spectrum (that being the hardcore democrats), but what I found really interesting about this article was how it looked at supply-side policy as this conservative dooms day device, rather than a neutral policy that can be used to anyone's advantage. I still think it is a strategy with its pros and cons, just like monetary or fiscal policy, yet it is interesting to see how it might benefit one social group more than another and how its implementation can lead to many economic issues.

This article has no direct correlation to supply side of an economy, as it mainly talks about Cypriot economy's bank crisis - credit crunch, predictions on GDP and changing patterns of banking (limitations to every-day withdrawals from ATMs). But the reason I chose this article is that they should aim at increasing the production side of an economy and so aggregate supply, shifting the LRAS curve to the right, and, in addition to that, structural reforms of the economy which overly depends on the banking. Particularly, Cyprus should undertake interventionist supply side policies, such as investments in infrastructure - roads, railways, harbours, airports and telecommunications all serve to lower production costs of all economic agents in a country. Or perhaps investments in technology and industrial policies which would increase the productive capacity of an economy.

The article talks about the climate change and fossil fuels from an economic view point

This article is different than many others that are being bookmarked. It shows, through data, how supply-side policies aren't always effective.It is an interesting read, giving a new perspective to the readers perception of the policy.

This article is long but to sum it all up, it discusses "The idea: Reduce taxes, especially for the wealthy and corporations, and America's entrepreneurial fortunes will soar. The economy, unleashed from the drag of excess taxes, will grow. Government deficits will shrink."

Well, the title says it all. The governor calls for increased education to "leave a better Commonwealth for the next generation."

Governor Patrick discusses the importance of college and career readiness at the Future Ready Summit at the DCU Center in Worcester.

This article talks about Britain and its problematic exports with subsequent trade deficit problems. Interestingly enough, university courses fees are considered exports as well (money inflow). Britain is a country which is immensely integrated in the global trade flows, but they have a problem of trade deficit. "Part of the reason is the slowdown in continental Europe and America, which take 54% and 17% respectively of British exports. Another is the gradual depletion of North Sea oil and gas. A third is that Britain's strength is in services rather than in the raw materials, machine tools and handbags that emerging markets crave." This running trade deficit can amass huge problems and according to the article [http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/economics/10427783/Britain-to-have-worst-2014-trade-deficit-in-industrial-world-on-EU-forecasts.html] Britain will have to tackle it by using expenditure-reducing policies, expenditure-switching policies or supply-side policies.
