The Immigration Fight War Room Slides
The document discusses several topics related to US immigration:
1) Current US immigration levels with over 1 million new immigrants per year accounting for 60% of labor force growth.
2) The impact of immigration on economic growth, with population growth driving 40% of GDP growth.
3) Details of President Obama's recent executive order providing legal status to millions of undocumented immigrants already in the US.
4) Issues around future congressional action on broader immigration reform, comparing the US system to models in other countries like Canada and Australia.
5) Arguments that reform and continued immigration can help avoid deflation and maintain economic growth.
Where is Obama’s promised minimum-wage hike?
- During his 2008 campaign, Barack Obama pledged to raise the federal minimum wage to $9.50/hour by 2011 but as president he has failed to deliver on this promise.
- Raising the minimum wage could boost the economy by increasing consumer spending and pose little risk of increasing unemployment, but Obama has shown little leadership on this issue.
- A minimum wage increase remains popular among voters and could increase turnout among low-income groups who have felt ignored, potentially impacting close elections in swing states.
The Contributions of Intangible Property to the U.S. Economy - Matthew Slaug...
The document discusses the contributions of intangible property (IP) to the US economy. It makes three main points: (1) IP has long driven US growth but the future is fragile as educational attainment and innovation efforts are increasing abroad; (2) Globally engaged US companies create most US IP and rely on worldwide operations to maximize its benefits; (3) Raising US taxes on globally engaged companies' IP income would reduce US IP activity as foreign affiliate production complements domestic investment.

This document summarizes a presentation criticizing Obamacare and government overreach. It argues that Americans did not want Obamacare, it will increase costs and debt, and over half of Americans want to repeal it. Statistics are presented showing high levels of debt, many Americans relying on federal benefits, and a declining workforce participation rate, suggesting the current economic situation does not support expanding programs like Obamacare.

In 2012, the World Family Map Project (WFMP) will launch a research initiative to track central indicators of family strength—i.e., indicators of family structure, family economic well-being, family processes, and family culture—around the globe, and to explore the associations between these strengths and the well-being of children.
The WFMP is designed to cast a spotlight on the welfare of children and families around the world, and to be a resource for governments, NGOs, policy makers, journalists, and others interested in the welfare of children and families.
The WFMP will be sponsored by Child Trends, a nonpartisan research organization in Washington, D.C., the National Marriage Project at the University of Virginia, and a range of universities and research institutes around the globe. W. Bradford Wilcox, associate professor of sociology and Director of the National Marriage Project at the University of Virginia, and Laura Lippman, senior research scientist at Child Trends, will co-direct the project, with advice from 12 other scholars from around the globe. Reynaldo Rivera at InterMedia Consulting is advising the project.
In the fall of 2012, the WFMP will release an international report featuring three pieces of new research:
1) An original article exploring the relationship between family structure, family economics, and children’s educational attainment in the developed world;
2) An original article exploring the relationship between family structure, family economics, and children’s educational attainment in the developing world; and,
3) A global map highlighting twenty of the latest trends in family structure, family economics, family process, and family culture in every major region of the world.
The financial train wreck
The looming retirement of 76 million Baby Boomers born between 1946-1964 poses serious financial challenges for the United States. As this huge generation retires, there is no money to pay for their retirement benefits due to a lack of planning and savings. As more Boomers retire and strain social security and pension systems, the government may have to take on even more debt by borrowing or printing money, devaluing the currency and potentially bankrupting the nation. Difficult choices will have to be made about supporting retirees on fixed incomes as costs of living rise.
The financial train wreck
The biggest burden, of course, will be borne by people
who don't plan ahead
You can cut/eliminate taxes with some planning.
“The baby boom generation is moving into retirement with something no other generation has had:
huge tax liabilities.”

July 4, 2014 Let Freedom Ring
This article discusses how Americans should reflect on the meaning of Independence Day and freedom. It argues that over time, the U.S. government has grown tremendously in size and scope, imposing massive regulations and high taxes that hurt businesses and economic growth. The Founding Fathers would disapprove to see how current oppressive policies have replaced the tyranny they fought against. Americans need to consider if they are upholding the ideals of freedom and limit government overreach.
Watson budget challenge and responsibility 2011
Illinois faces major budget problems including uncontrolled spending increases, large debts, and the worst funded pension system in the nation. Medicaid costs are rising significantly due to more enrollment and higher costs. The state's business climate and economy have declined, with Illinois now ranking near the bottom nationally in measures like job growth, debt levels, and credit ratings. Proposed solutions include cutting spending, reforming pensions and Medicaid, selling state assets, consolidating offices, and bringing more transparency to spending.
Accounting Principals Workonomix 2013 Survey Results
American workers are earning $130 less per paycheck due to the 2013 payroll tax increase. In our 2013 Workonomix survey, we took a look how and where Americans are cutting back in their spending.
America’s Wealth Gap Presentation
The document discusses how America's wealth gap originated during slavery and has persisted due to systemic inequalities. Slaves were unable to be compensated for their work, pass on wealth, or gain financial knowledge, putting African Americans at a long-term economic disadvantage compared to whites. Centuries later, statistics still show large disparities in net worth, homeownership, and the impacts of recessions between black and white households. Contributing factors discussed include tax policies that benefit the wealthy, bailouts of major corporations that prioritized shareholder profits over workers, and influence of wealthy donors on political decisions. The document argues these types of actions have exacerbated the wealth gap in America.

Information Literacy Week 10: Evaluation
This document discusses evaluating information sources based on currency, relevancy, authority, accuracy, and purpose. It lists those criteria as part of an evaluation list. It also provides examples of creative commons licensed images. The document contains a news article about major media outlets agreeing not to report the age of a young billionaire in order to protect Americans' fragile egos and prevent a decline in national morale given economic challenges. Students are reminded to evaluate 1 book, 1 journal article, and 1 website for an upcoming assignment on evaluating information sources.
Climate conspiracy
1) Three billionaire donors who made fortunes in fossil fuels - David Koch, Paul Singer, and Charles Joyce - have given nearly half a million dollars to the New York Republican Party this year.
2) They have profited from dirty energy and funded climate denial efforts while blocking action on clean energy.
3) Now they are trying to influence Long Island elections by funding Republican politicians in order to ensure policies that continue benefiting fossil fuel industries at the expense of climate change action.
The adolescent and anti family issues
The document discusses population growth in the Philippines, arguing that it is not the primary cause of poverty based on 4 main facts: global population growth is slowing, Philippine population growth is decreasing, there is no evidence high population impedes economic growth, and poverty is caused more by inequality and corruption than family size. The reproductive health bills are criticized for ignoring these root causes of poverty.
The 10 Most Overlooked Facts About International Investment
International investment drives economic growth in the United States. U.S. multinational companies employ over 23 million Americans and pay nearly 20% higher wages than average. While most of the world's customers live abroad, two-thirds of multinational companies' employment, value, and capital expenditures remain in the United States. International investment creates jobs at home, makes companies more resilient, and boosts exports.
January 2010 Market Update Seminar
The document provides an analysis of the real estate market in Princeton and Greater Princeton, NJ from January 2020. It discusses inventory levels, pending sales, absorption rates and other metrics in different towns over the past 3-4 years. The markets show signs of stability with absorption rates around 10 months and inventory either steady or declining in most towns. The summary also notes signs of modest price increases in the state.
Global Economics
The document summarizes key points from a talk given by Matthew J. Slaughter on the global economic outlook. It explores this question through five numbers: 1) 62.5% - the fiscal opportunity facing governments in reducing debt to GDP ratios; 2) 96.2% - the income opportunity to address rising income inequality; 3) 3.1% - the growth opportunity in emerging markets like India and China; 4) 0% - the talent opportunity to improve education and attract skilled immigrants given little increase in US high school graduation rates; 5) 3% - the hope opportunity as only 3% of Americans are confident their children's lives will be better given declining confidence in the US economic trajectory.
Think2040 Curriculum Final
This document provides snapshots of key statistics that describe the current state of America. It shows that since the 1970s, wages have stagnated while costs have risen for housing, education, and healthcare. Unions have declined and more Americans rely on loans rather than grants. The U.S. spends more on healthcare than other nations but ranks lower in quality. It also runs deficits in programs like Social Security. The document questions how we got to this point and what the challenges are going forward in areas like the economy, environment, and social programs.
State of the Social Media Election; 24SEP12
Obama leads Romney in social mentions by roughly 6 percent; Ryan tops Biden by 20 percent and when the presidential and vice presidential teams are combined – both campaigns own roughly 50% of social media mindshare. It’s a dead heat.
Book summary of the world in 2020 by the economist
The document summarizes economic trends and predictions for the year 2020 globally and by country. Key points include: the US election and a global economic slowdown will dominate 2020; tensions are rising between the US and China as the two largest economies compete; and global GDP growth is expected to slow while emerging markets like India and Asian countries will continue to see relatively strong growth compared to Western nations.
Eitzen13e.chapter17.lecture.ppt 193999
The chapter discusses the US healthcare system and issues of access, costs, and reform efforts. It covers:
1) The high costs of US healthcare without corresponding health outcomes benefits compared to other wealthy nations. Defensive medicine and profit motives contribute to inefficiency.
2) Historical shifts from physician-centered to managed care and consequences like "medlining". Unequal access based on social class, race, gender.
3) Alternative models like Bismarck (Germany), Beveridge (UK), and National Health Insurance (Canada) show cost-effective options.

This document provides an overview of basic statistics concepts including:
- Statistics is used to determine the difference between chance and real effects by analyzing numerical data
- Averages can be calculated and presented in different ways (mean, median, mode), which can provide different perspectives on the data
- Statistics is applied in many fields to help with planning, assessing programs, and proving or disproving economic theories
- Common statistical tools include variables, matrices, frequency tables, probability calculations
- Limitations include that statistics deals with aggregates and variability rather than individual accuracy, and numbers can be misused out of context
Ch. 1 micro and macro economics
Microeconomics studies individual economic decision-making and the workings of individual markets, while macroeconomics analyzes the economy as a whole. Microeconomics focuses on supply and demand, pricing and output determination, resource allocation, and individual markets. The subject areas of microeconomics include product and factor markets, as well as theories of demand, production, costs, product pricing, distribution, and welfare economics. Macroeconomics, on the other hand, examines economy-wide phenomena such as national income, unemployment, inflation, economic growth, and international trade. The key concepts in macroeconomics include gross domestic product, fiscal and monetary policy, and the relationships between inflation, interest rates, and the business cycle. Both microeconom
Measures of dispersion
The document discusses various measures used to describe the dispersion or variability in a data set. It defines dispersion as the extent to which values in a distribution differ from the average. Several measures of dispersion are described, including range, interquartile range, mean deviation, and standard deviation. The document also discusses measures of relative standing like percentiles and quartiles, and how they can locate the position of observations within a data set. The learning objectives are to understand how to describe variability, compare distributions, describe relative standing, and understand the shape of distributions using these measures.
Introduction To Macro Economics
This document provides an introduction to macroeconomics. It discusses key macroeconomic concepts such as stocks and flows, equilibrium and disequilibrium, and the circular flow of income in closed and open economies. It also outlines macroeconomic goals like full employment and price stability. The development of macroeconomics from classical to Keynesian and monetarist theories is summarized. Finally, it discusses important macroeconomic indicators and policy tools like fiscal and monetary policy.
Introduction to statistics...ppt rahul
This document provides an introduction to statistics and biostatistics. It discusses key concepts including:
- The definitions and origins of statistics and biostatistics. Biostatistics applies statistical methods to biological and medical data.
- The four main scales of measurement: nominal, ordinal, interval, and ratio scales. Nominal scales classify data into categories while ratio scales allow for comparisons of magnitudes and ratios.
- Descriptive statistics which organize and summarize data through methods like frequency distributions, measures of central tendency, and graphs. Frequency distributions condense data into tables and charts. Measures of central tendency include the mean, median, and mode.

Introduction to statistics
Statistics can be defined in both a singular and plural sense. In the singular sense, it refers to statistical methods for collecting, analyzing, and interpreting numerical data. In the plural sense, it refers to the actual numerical facts or data collected. Statistics involves systematically collecting, organizing, presenting, analyzing, and interpreting numerical data to describe features and characteristics. It allows for comparing facts, establishing relationships, and facilitating policymaking and decision making. However, statistics only studies aggregates and averages, not individual cases, and results are true only on average. It also requires properly contextualizing and referencing results.
Introduction To Statistics
This document summarizes key concepts from an introduction to statistics textbook. It covers types of data (quantitative, qualitative, levels of measurement), sampling (population, sample, randomization), experimental design (observational studies, experiments, controlling variables), and potential misuses of statistics (bad samples, misleading graphs, distorted percentages). The goal is to illustrate how common sense is needed to properly interpret data and statistics.

Is China A Paper Tiger?
This document discusses the widespread consensus views about China's growing economy and questions whether that consensus may be wrong. It argues that China's GDP growth is likely overestimated and driven by massive credit expansion rather than real economic activity. If China's top export markets in the US and Europe do not recover as expected, many of China's loans may not be repaid, suggesting China's economy is weaker than the numbers indicate. The document questions whether China can sustain its high growth rates going forward.

Presidents of the United States Part 4a of 8
President Reagan's first term focused on cutting taxes and government spending to stimulate economic growth. His policies included a 25% tax cut for individuals and corporations, increased military spending by 25%, and reduced spending on social programs and regulations. However, this led to increased budget deficits and national debt.
USA
- The United States has the largest economy in the world, driven primarily by personal consumption which accounts for around two-thirds of total production.
- However, the economy faces issues such as a large national debt, high trade and budget deficits, an underfunded pension system, and overbuilding in hazardous coastal and flood-prone areas.
- Additionally, rising commodity prices and a declining housing market pose challenges, while low savings rates and a lack of a value-added tax put the US at a competitive disadvantage internationally.
Usa poverty
Poverty is defined as subpar living conditions compared to the surrounding area and is subject to change over time. The US defines poverty through an annual ratio issued by the Census Bureau that accounts for inflation but has not been substantially updated since the 1960s. It is calculated using USDA and food expenditure data. Critics argue it does not adequately capture factors like assets and costs of living. There are differences between Democratic and Republican views on how to address poverty, with Democrats favoring more government assistance programs and Republicans preferring less government intervention and believing individuals are responsible for their economic situations. Current policies under the Republican-led House propose deep cuts to programs assisting low-income Americans.
2010 census marketing by rgomezjr
The document discusses how the upcoming 2010 US Census data will reveal significant growth of the Hispanic population in the US. It notes that Hispanics contributed 52% of overall US population growth between 2000-2010. The census will show that marketing to Hispanics can no longer be considered a separate strategy and must now be integrated into all marketing plans. It provides some key facts about the Hispanic population size, growth rates in major markets, and purchasing power. The document emphasizes that the census data will have major implications for business and require companies to reconsider how they approach the Hispanic consumer segment.

Рейтинг вільних економік світу за 2016 рік
The document summarizes key points from a report on declining economic freedom in the United States. It finds that the U.S. has fallen out of the top 10 in economic freedom rankings due to rising government spending and debt, increased regulations, and a growing perception of cronyism. Specifically, it notes increases in government spending, high corporate tax rates, excessive regulations, a complex tax code, and experimental monetary policy as areas negatively impacting the U.S. economic freedom score. The report argues that restoring economic freedom through reduced government intervention and spending is needed to boost economic growth and opportunity.
Will the US election trump the economy in 2017?
With the 2016 US Presidential election approach there have been questions about what this could mean for the US economy in 2017. In this blog, economist Rupert Seggins draws on the historical experience of the US and its G7 peers to offer an answer.
While this time may be different, history suggests that the bar for a President-caused US recession in 2017 is set much higher than may commonly be thought.
Will the US election trump the economy in 2017?
With the US Presidential election due in November, many people are asking what the outcome might be for the economy next year. In this post, I take a look at what US and wider G7 country history can tell us about the immediate aftermath of elections. I find that while this time may be different, the risk of a President-caused economic recession in 2017 is much lower than may commonly be thought. I also offer some thoughts on what types of policy decision may precipitate an immediate downturn.

2014 Economy Report by Mike Lathigee
The document is a newsletter discussing the state of the US economy from the perspective of an economic analyst, Mike Lathigee. It summarizes that while official reports claim the economy is recovering, the reality is that inequality is growing as the rich get richer and the middle class and poor get poorer. Unemployment and other key economic indicators show most Americans are worse off than during the 2008 recession. It recommends investors increase their holdings of physical gold and silver to 10% of their portfolio as a hedge against potential economic troubles in the future.

1) The US economy has slowed significantly with weak GDP growth and persistently high unemployment.

Economy of usa
The US economy is the largest in the world with a GDP of $15.1 trillion in 2010. It has experienced steady growth in recent decades and is driven mainly by the service sector. However, high unemployment, government debt levels, and other factors remain potential long-term concerns. The Federal Reserve has taken actions like lowering interest rates to counter the effects of the financial crisis and recession. While growth signals have been positive recently, challenges around jobs, housing, debt, and other issues could still impact economic performance.

Government Spends = We Lose 8.12.09
The document summarizes trends in government spending and GDP growth in the United States over the past 60 years. It finds that while GDP per capita has steadily increased, the rate of growth has declined each decade. In contrast, government spending per capita has steadily risen over the past 40 years, even after adjusting for inflation and population growth. The document argues that rising government spending is slowing economic growth and that spending needs to be cut in order to increase prosperity and ensure future generations are wealthier.
Hyre Weekly Commentary
The document discusses how the US federal budget deficit has grown large due to lower tax revenues and higher spending during the recession. It projects that the federal debt will exceed historical levels by 2023 and reach 190% of GDP by 2035 if changes are not made. It also summarizes factors like entitlement spending and healthcare costs that contribute to the growing deficit. The document argues that Democrats and Republicans need to agree on spending cuts and revenue increases to address the issue.
