The document argues that the current federal budget deficit and debt levels are unfairly blamed on ordinary Americans, who did not cause the issues. It claims the true causes were decades of bad economic policies, including unjustified wars, outsourcing of jobs, tax cuts for the wealthy, financial deregulation, and stagnating middle-class incomes. Resolving the debt crisis requires addressing the underlying economic crisis first through solutions that help, not penalize, average Americans, rather than continuing policies advocated by those responsible for the problems. Fair debt policy should not scapegoat citizens for issues they did not create.

The best data we have on the
upper tail of the income distribution come from Piketty and Saez’s (2003, with
updates) tabulations of individual tax returns. (Even these numbers, though, are
subject to some controversy: the tax code changes over time, altering the incentives
to receive and report compensation in alternative forms.) According to their
numbers, the share of income, excluding capital gains, earned by the top 1 percent
rose from 7.7 percent in 1973 to 17.4 percent in 2010. Even more striking is the
share earned by the top 0.01 percent—an elite group that, in 2010, had a membership
requirement of annual income exceeding $5.9 million. This group’s share of
total income rose from 0.5 percent in 1973 to 3.3 percent in 2010. These numbers
are not easily ignored. Indeed, they in no small part motivated the Occupy movement,
and they have led to calls from policymakers on the left to make the tax code
more progressive.
For this group project we had to describe the cultural differences from United States and China and what a company should know before investing in China.

CASE STUDY CAPITALISM This case views the global, capitalistMaximaSheffield592
CASE STUDY CAPITALISM
This case views the global, capitalist economic system through the prism of the 2007–2008 financial crisis (referred to here as the
Financial Crisis). More than a decade later, what more do we now know? How did the crisis emerge, and what were its consequences
(short- and long-term)? What challenges does it present for capitalism today? What was the role of social responsibility? And
perhaps most importantly, what changes does a strategic CSR perspective suggest moving forward?
THE FINANCIAL CRISIS
In many ways, the dramatic economic events that began toward the end of 20071 (widely reported as “the most serious financial
crisis since the Great Crash of 1929”2 or the “Great Recession”3) brought into focus the comprehensive nature of CSR. From
individual greed and the abdication of responsibility to organizational fraud and the mismanagement of resources, to governmental
failure to monitor and adequately regulate the financial system, the crisis emphasized the many interlocking factors that make CSR so
complex. At the same time, and with the benefit of hindsight, these events demonstrate how straightforward CSR can be. At its
simplest, CSR is not rocket science. It is often common sense, combined with an enlightened approach to management and decision
making. To look back at some of the decisions that contributed to the economic crisis and try to rationalize why they were made,
however, represents an exercise in exasperation:
What do you call giving a worker who makes only $14,000 a year a nothing-down and nothing-to-pay-for-twoyears
mortgage to buy a $750,000 home, and then bundling that mortgage with 100 others into bonds—which
Moody’s or Standard & Poor’s rate[s] AAA—and then selling them to banks and pension funds the world over?4
Essentially, the crisis resulted from the cumulative effects of multiple bad decisions by many individuals who had lost their sense of perspective.5 What was amazing
at the time was “how so many people could be so stupid . . . and self-destructive all at once”
6
to produce “a near total breakdown of responsibility at every link in our financial chain.”7 The scale of
At the height of the boom, the subprime mortgage industry in the United States had clearly lost all sense of proportion. The result
was higher default rates and, as a consequence, higher rates of home repossessions:
Between 2005 and 2007, which was the peak of sub-prime lending, the top 25 subprime originators made almost
$1,000bn in loans to more than 5m borrowers, many of whom have [since] had their homes repossessed.10
The industry as a whole experienced all the signs of a bubble, the aftermath of which generated dramatic headlines such as “Sex,
Lies, and Mortgage Deals.”11 As a society, we should have picked this up earlier and acted to diffuse it. As such, the Financial Crisis
highlights the central role of CSR in today’s global business environment. It is a lens through which excesses ...

A deficit is the gap when spending exceeds budget. A surplus is the gap when budget exceeds spending. The debt is an accumulation of deficits less surpluses over time. The large and increasing national debt is definitely an issue we should be concerned about. Persistent increases in debt could lead the US to a failed economy with low credit ratings from Moody’s, and a call on loans we cannot pay. During a recession, the deficit (debt overall) will increase as the US borrows funds to cover the spending gap. During an expansion, the US should decrease spending producing a surplus to lower the overall debt. In recent years, the economy has been running in expansion mode, but yet the government continues to spend, increasing the deficit and debt. This is not a sustainable practice. According to the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget (2018), “Running large deficits when the economy is already strong means that any boost provided to the economy will be temporary, and may put unnecessary upward pressure on inflation and interest rates. Running permanent deficits means that they will increasingly hurt investment and growth over time. They cannot simply be waited out. Rising deficits are largely driven by the increasing cost of interest and health and retirement programs, which are caused by rising health care prices and an aging population. Yet even with these factors, deficits were on course to decline over the next couple years before Congress enacted fiscally irresponsible tax cuts and spending hikes” (para. 12-13).
John Tamny views the national debt as a give and take, noting we are better off to have the government spending less with some debt than the government spending more and having no debt. John discusses limiting the government’s control on spending and investing into the private sector, generating technological advances and innovation to grow the economy (Tamny, 2020). After reviewing several articles and watching videos in the recommended reading section for the week, I agree, this is an issue and controlling government spending is part of the process. There are four programs consuming a significant portion of government spending: Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, and ObamaCare. According to PragerU (2014), “to cut spendi.
Americans feel isolated from the leaders that they sent to Washington to represent them. Therefore, it is imperative, more than ever, that our leaders in Washington focus on addressing and confronting the problems that afflict America today- with both foresight and determination. I am a firm believer that what the American people deserve is a clear and concise explanation from our leaders as to how they do plan solve the most pertinent issues facing the country.

THE 1 PERCENT’S PROBLEM
Why won’t America’s 1 percent—such as the six Walmart heirs, whose wealth equals that of
the entire bottom 30 percent—be a bit more . . . selfish? As the widening financial divide
cripples the U.S. economy, even those at the top will pay a steep price.

L et’s start by laying down the baseline premise: inequality in America has been wideningfor dec ades. We’re all aware of the fact. Yes, there are some on the right who deny thisreality, but serious analysts across the political spectrum take it for granted. I won’t run
through all the evidence here, except to say that the gap between the 1 percent and the 99 percent
is vast when looked at in terms of annual income, and even vaster when looked at in terms of
wealth—that is, in terms of accumulated capital and other assets. Consider the Walton family: the
six heirs to the Walmart empire possess a combined wealth of some $90 billion, which is
equivalent to the wealth of the entire bottom 30 percent of U.S. society. (Many at the bottom have
zero or negative net worth, especially after the housing debacle.) Warren Buffett put the matter
correctly when he said, “There’s been class warfare going on for the last 20 years and my class has
won.”
So, no: there’s little debate over the basic fact of widening inequality. The debate is over its
meaning. From the right, you sometimes hear the argument made that inequality is basically a
good thing: as the rich increasingly benefit, so does everyone else. This argument is false: while the
rich have been growing richer, most Americans (and not just those at the bottom) have been
unable to maintain their standard of living, let alone to keep pace. A typical full-time male worker
receives the same income today he did a third of a century ago.
From the left, meanwhile, the widening inequality often elicits an appeal for simple justice: why
should so few have so much when so many have so little? It’s not hard to .

In a May 9, 2024 paper, Juri Opitz from the University of Zurich, along with Shira Wein and Nathan Schneider form Georgetown University, discussed the importance of linguistic expertise in natural language processing (NLP) in an era dominated by large language models (LLMs).
The authors explained that while machine translation (MT) previously relied heavily on linguists, the landscape has shifted. “Linguistics is no longer front and center in the way we build NLP systems,” they said. With the emergence of LLMs, which can generate fluent text without the need for specialized modules to handle grammar or semantic coherence, the need for linguistic expertise in NLP is being questioned.

2. An Introduction There is no dispute from any portion of the political spectrum that the federal budget deficit is rising and that the debt has reached its highest levels since WW2. What is under dispute is why the deficit and debt are this high and what can be done about it. The bigger dispute perhaps is whether we are viewing the symptom as the problem instead of the real problem – in other words, would we be in a debt crisis if there hadn’t been a Great Recession or decades of bad economic policy? The Debt Crisis is the direct result of a larger crisis which was borne as a result of the implementation of unfair policies. Adding more unfair policy now makes no sense .
3.
4. The Debt Crisis did not begin with the Obama Administration. It began during the 1980’s.
5. Fair is Smart One of the main principles of Fair Economics is that the Fair policy is also the Smart policy. This applies to Fair Debt Policy as well. Common Sense Rule Number 1 – if economic policy penalizes those who represent the majority of economic activity the economy will of course destabilize. Rule Number 2 – if you invest trillions of dollars outside of your own economy / nation, you’re taking away trillions of dollars that could have gone into the nation. Rule Number 3 – if you remove all the safeguards from the financial market, it will no longer be safe.
6.
7. Deficits and Debt are not random outcomes – they are tied to policy – always…
8. What Not to Do The worst thing we could possibly do is what our leaders are advocating now – to penalize the American people because of the greed, irresponsibility and stupidity of the handful of people who brought the world to brink of financial collapse. Not one of the people who caused the current crisis have been indicted or tossed in jail – in fact many of them had their debts bailed out by us, the taxpayers at 100 cents on the dollar. This is hard to believe, but this is what happens when corruption drowns out the needs of the people. Current policy is being dictated by exactly the same people who created the crisis that caused the debt. These people blame us for everything…
9.
10.
11. The main causes of the current deficits are; revenue shortfalls (from tax cuts and the Recession), the cost of war and bailouts that didn’t go to ordinary Americans anyway. The added expenditures have not been directed to policies that would solve our actual economic crisis. That’s the real problem.
