Layoffs are tough for both the employee being laid off and the company for which he/she worked. The situation causes so much uncertainty amongst the remaining employees. The feeling among the employees is; if this happened to them this could happen to me as well.

These cuts will result in a decrease of government expenditure and an increase in household tax. Firms will suffer, with little support from the government sector, reducing the circular flow of income. Household savings will increase, as they will be paying more in tax. Firms will then be impacted because consumers will be spending

Heated debates over tax cut have always been one of the central economic themes on the American political table. Since taxes relate directly to the quality of lives, it is by no means surprising to find people showing significant concern about policies regarding cutting or raising the amount they have to pay. The idea that lowering tax rate makes room for growth has remained generally popular among the majority, taking a possible decrease in individuals’ tax burden and increase in productivity into account. There is, however, extensive research conducted on the topic that produced controversial results. Despite its appeal to instant benefits for one’s saving account and investment, reducing tax rate has yet to show a definite positive effect

Tax decreases can stimulate economic growth because if people are paying less in taxes, they have more money to spend. It has been proven over the years that tax decreases generate economic growth and federal revenue will always rise.

If the taxes for business are lowered, the businesses will be able to increase employment, and that will lead to the unemployment rate further decreasing, which will improve economic growth. In addition to that, the businesses will spend more on supplies and as it spends more on supplies, other businesses will get higher demand, and that will lead to more money that can be spent on multiple things such as hiring people, and improving production, and management efficiency.

As you all know, the United States of America is undergoing the most severe economic period since the Great Depression of the 1929-1933. Like then, the current economy is linked to several internal concerns, but is also influenced by several external features, mostly revealed by its economic relationships with the various international partners. At this level, it is necessary to understand the national economy as the intersection of national politics, national economic affairs, but also global politics and economy. Today, in the era of globalization, not the United States or another country, can live and function in an isolated context.

To live in an economy that is not negatively impacted by recession, downsizing, or business capsizing would be ideal. The unfortunate reality is that we are faced with economic situations that will be either helpful or hurtful to us all.

Is planned obsolescence a “natural” phenomenon or simply an ambiguous method of supporting the economy? It is both. Why? How? To clearly elucidate this intriguing topic-to some- this presentation will be divided into six sections-the foundation of our economy, the basis of planned obsolescence, the system in all our products are manufactures and marketed, how this technique is “pulled-off” (in an epithetical fashion) by corporations and how primordial edicts of macroeconomics and microeconomics should be conformed to. Firstly, what is economics? In the words of highly-acclaimed American economists, Steven D. Levitt & Stephen J. Dubner-“Economics is, at root, the study of incentives, how people get what they want or need, especially when other people want of need the same thing”. Macroeconomics is a division of economics subsidizing on the structure and abnascentia of economics, the behavior of consumers and the scrutiny of interactions (decisions) between corporations and individual clients as a part of a greater economy; as a whole. Microeconomics –as its Greek prefix, mikro meaning small- is the opposite of macroeconomics entirely; it is founded on the study of the behavior of individuals and small organizations in a systematic view of a collapsed economy with limited resources (input and output in a circular manner). To get a cosmopolitan view on our economy this speech will be greatly led on the “laws” of macroeconomics. Economy is the state of a country or region in
