Business Poli-Sci: The Great Recession

The Great Recession

The Great Recession is complex. Politicians are trying new methods to keep the economy fair, so the United States is able to recover. The entire country must stop collecting Unemployment Benefits.

Issues are intense and the Health Care Plan to offer insurance at a reasonable price has made it possible for companies to lower operational costs. Laws of the past make it easier for an American Company to do business overseas. Hopefully, the break on health care will keep companies solvent. They cannot hire more people, because they do not make that much money.

Another responsibility for companies and corporations in the USA is Unemployment Insurance. There is an insurance for everything. While government pays a percentage of the money going to people on unemployment, the previous Employer is paying between 50% to 70%of the overall salary of a Former Employee who is sitting at home looking for work.

It is fairly obvious why no one wants to go back to work. There have been several extensions of Unemployment Benefits for a few years. Companies have to pay for Employees who are literally not doing anything. This makes it so businesses do not have enough money to hire more Employees. Moving an office to another country becomes an attractive idea.

There are misconceptions about the world. The United States does not have Royalty or a Cast System. Companies and Corporations begin, grow, mature and die. A family can start a business. In the first year only 10% are still in business. They might not be making enough money to support themselves. A company lasting for 3 generations is an extreme rarity. If very successful, they were able to buy land and solidify basic needs so cost-of-living is not as high as other people. It is not an endless chain of money. It is limited.

The Government is not an endless chain of earnings. The United States Government is in debt for trillions of dollars. We cannot afford our expensive governmental needs, such as: roads, indoor plumbing, electricity, phone line, internet, dsl, public schools, 5 divisions of Military, an amazing amount of government agencies, airports and several socialist agendas.

Downsizing has been an interesting process. Many people grieved downsized companies. We new the government was safe. Many people will grieve the downsizing of government.

Government needs to control how events will take place. We need more people in regular jobs and only joining military service and working for government agencies for a few years. We could build more military bases or smaller military bases across the country. The Recession has not been as awful in states with military bases.

We need few airports. It is convenient having an airport that is closer to home. It is a socialist benefit that everyone pays for as part of the military budget.

Most things US Citizens expect are part of the military budget. Right now the public sector (owned by the public) and private sector (owned by individual citizens) are out-of-balance. The private sectors pays more in taxes. Taxes are a smaller part of income; ergo, private citizens cannot afford to pay over 50% of the rest of the country's cost-of-living, operational costs and building expenses.

This brings us back to Unemployment Benefits. Welfare is paid solely by the government. While people could lounge, it is relief for companies. Companies might be able to afford hiring a few Employees and slowly reverse the unemployment problem.

Ideally, to stabilize the economy, fewer restrictions are placed on companies. Welfare standards are lowered so more people qualify. Measures to end welfare in the form of reeducation and job opportunities continue. Subsidies to companies to hire people on welfare is an idea; however, it might displace other Employees. It would become important to lose a job to get a job. It is definitely important for companies to retain profits so it is easier to hire New Employees by cutting their operational costs.

Small military bases should be spread across the country. Military are able to reinvest or spend money to keep city economies less rigid. We sent the bulk of financially stable citizens to limited areas.

Military bases should exist in conjunction with other government entities. Bases should be near airports and other facilities. They built as part of the military budget.

With these forces in motion, it would make sense to get regular jobs. There would be less need to get a government job. If the government goes out-of-business, you have bigger problems than a mortgage. A person might not have much, yet retirement benefits are a guarantee. Currently, when a company goes bankrupt, there are no retirement benefits. Even after government layoffs, Former Employees still have more than other people.

This stratification of events should assist in promoting jobs in the private sector. There is more to do to regain the economy. It should be helpful. Banking and loan companies are not doing well. Everyone feels as though they were tricked into a get-rich-quick scheme and have less money now than they did when it started.

The economy is recovering. There are several ideas to make the country independent of other countries and independent itself. This should begin and upward chain-of-events to better the economy. This is not a time to be idealistic. An upward shift in the economy is making it so we are not Debtors. In time, it will be better. We will have all the benefits of living in America. People complain about Welfare; however, the Great Recession is much better than the Great Depression.
