Tea Party Movement - 0 views

  •  
    This article is about the Tea Party supporters who sprang into action in the United States last year. They demand to block the democratic agenda on the economy and also the environment and health care. Tea Party supporters are Republicans and believe President Obama and the Democrats to be 'far too liberal'. These supporters are strongly backed up by Republican politicians, Sarah Palin in particular. One of the major issues that the tea party argues is the misuse of economic resources in health care. They feel that all the health care opportunities are targeted towards the poor section of the country, not the middle or rich class. However since the latter are tax payers, the health benefits should be more focused on them. Thus in this situation a political party has a direct influence on the economic policies taken in a country.

Dollar down vs. euro, pound ahead of debt limit - 0 views

  •  
    the U.S. dollar edged down against the British pound and euro on Wednesday as a House vote on a Republican bill to reopen the government and lift the debt limit was cancelled, and Senate leaders resumed talks. The euro rose to $1.3551 from $1.3528 late Tuesday, and the pound advanced to $1.6013 from $1.5997. This article is a perfect demonstration of the currency war and the debt crises where the USA desperately tries to raise the debt barrier as depreciation of the dollar still occurs.
