In this slide cast, I’m going to tell you more about the American economy by using three articles I found on the internet. We’re going to take a look at the current situation of the American economy. After that I’ll give the solution the government suggests to solve the problems, and what the consequences are for the primary sector. I’ll end this presentation with my conclusion. I’m going to give a brief summary of the three articles I found, so you know what my presentation is about. • Plan Floated to Spread Risk in Mortgage Bonds is an article about the government that's considering a program to outsource a part of their mortgage market to private investors. • The second article discusses the current situation in the primary sector. • The last article tells us that the bank of America is recalling the fee they've put on a debit card. I hope you find it interesting and you enjoy listening.
