Case 1: Government Spending and Taxation

Read Special Topic 1, pages 404 through 418 of Macroeconomics: Private and Public Choice. You may also want to review Chapters 5 and 6 as the role of the government and the political process were covered in detail.

·  Describe how government spending and the composition of the government changed in recent decades. In other words, in what areas has the government cut spending and in what areas has the government increased spending in recent decades?

·  Determine if this change in government spending and composition will help Americans achieve a higher living standard. Be sure to support all opinions with research.

·  Assess if democracy can survive if the majority of the U.S. citizens pay little or nothing in taxes while benefiting directly from a higher level of government spending. Why or why not?

·  Propose the composition of government, government spending, and taxation that you believe would work best. Be sure to be specific and support your proposal with research.

·  Contrast the two views on how savings may be harmful or beneficial to the economy.
