!!!ECONOMY!?

economy
Guaranteed asked:


As of July 2008, there are currently 303,824,640 people in the US population.
0-14 years: 20.1%,15-64 years: 67.1%, 65 years and over: 12.7%
Given this information- exclude ages 17 and under, the total number in the population would be lower. Lets deduct 20% for of the population thats 0-14 . Ex.303,824,640 (TOTAL POP.) minus 60,800,000(20% ages 0-14) That leaves 243,024,460 million. Lets estimate to 240,000,000. Keep in mind, this number would be far less if we take in account the people ages 17 and below vice 14 and below. Now, factor in families whose hosehold income is $150,000 and less. That is the target range. We can decrease our total pop numbers to at least 130,000,000 americans 18 and over, or even 21 and over, that makes 150,000 annually or less, and pays taxes. Of those 130,000,000, if the government gave each qualified person $10,000. Thats right only $10,000. Not per houshold, per qualified person. Many will pay their bills, many will go and blow money wastefully. Either way. Banks, credit card companies, private business would thrive from collecting payments from responsible americans. Consumer retail spending would skyrocket from the irresponsible ones, this would also increase demand, which raises supply, and employment. This would cost less than $1.3tr. Thats really inexpensive considering the $700bn to banks that still isnt opening up to credit to borrowers, or the additional $30+ billion to the auto industy, or the latest $800bn thats about to be dashed away as well. Thats totalling about $1.6tr. My plan cost only $1.3tr. Plus it can be tweaked and adjusted. It really puts the fate of our economy in the hands that built the American economic system, the AMERICAN CONSUMER versus CORPORATE AMERICA. Do you guys think this is a better option? What are your economic thoughts?
Your math is way off. Use your computer calculator. A standard calculator doesn’t go that far. Or, you can use mental math if you have that capability. Oviously, Madam M doesn’t.

How does the economy & housing market affect home appraisals?

economy
BoBo77 asked:


When the housing industry & economy is as poor as it is now, does it have an effect on home appraisals? We remodeled our entire home and were hoping to get back close to what we had invested. However, the appraisal came back much lower than we expected. Is this because of the current housing industry and the economy?

China defies global economy trend

AlJazeeraEnglish asked:


World Bank figures have given China a double-digit growth in the last quarter of 2009 - 10.7 per cent to be precise - which puts it on course to overtake Japan as the second-largest economy in the world, after the US. Mansoor Dailami, the manager of international finance in the World Bank’s development economics branch, told Al Jazeera: “China’s economy has been growing very rapidly since the end of the recession. “But the problem is that the country has a huge population with significant diversity between different regions but they still have a long way to go to catch up with the more advanced countries.” Dailami said: “Basically, 2010 is going to be a year of economic recovery compared to 2009 yet there are some concerns in regards to the pace and dynamism of this recovery and what it takes for things to continue moving forward from 2010 into 2011.” However, China’s large population means there are still millions of people who are not experiencing the positive effects of their country’s economic boom. Al Jazeera’s Melissa Chan reports. Jan 21, 2010
