Rising Inequality/Threat to Democracy
[ send me this paper ]
A 3 page essay that examines increasing inequality in American society.

This fact alone necessarily creates dissatisfaction and it is conceivable that increasing inequality could eventually undermine the foundations of American society. Gary Burtless, in his essay “Growing American Inequality,” and Peter Sutherland in “Reality Check” each address different aspects of this problem, and their insights offer direction as to the what policy considerations are the most beneficial for bringing prosperity to the greatest number of people.

Surplus-Related Fiscal Policy Issues
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page paper discussing fiscal policy as it relates
to the way today's decisions will affect the future economy. We can be assured that there
will be some form of "correction" in the future, and today's fiscal policy needs to be based
on the consequences of that future correction as well as current conditions. It has been
predicted that adhering to current practice will reduce national debt from $3.5 trillion to
$865 billion in only nine years. Though it will enable the economy to grow faster, it will
also have unpredictable results on the financial sector. It will also allow some bail-out of
Social Security so that active workers will not be working to directly support two families -
their own and some unknown person who already has reached retirement age. Bibliography
lists 9 sources.
