- When John F. Kennedy became President of the United States in 1961, he brought to Washington some of the brightest young economists to the day to work on the council of Economic Advisers. One of the Council’s first proposals was to expand national income by reducing taxes. This eventually led to a substantial cut in personal income taxes in 1964. When a reporter asked Kennedy why he advocated a tax cut, Kennedy replied,“To stimulate the economy. Don’t you remember your economics 101?” Elaborate Kennedy’s reply as much as you can (To support your argument, you can use graph or equations...).arrow_forwardQ. In an article about the financial problems of USA Today, Newsweek reported that the paper was losing about $20 million a year. A Wall Street analyst said that the paper should raise its price from 50 cents to 75 cents, which he estimated would bring in an additional $65 million a year. The paper's publisher rejected the idea, saying that circulation could drop sharply after a price increase, citing the Wall Street Journal's experience after it increased its price to 75 cents. What implicit assumptions are the publisher and the analyst making about price elasticity?
