Assignment: Prepare for Debate

Assignment: Students - Look into our upcoming debate by querying this question:

Should the Federal government bailout financial institutions, large corporations, and distressed homeowners?

Review the business cycl. Read about the transition from President Hoover's Republican administration to President Franklin D. Roosevelt's Democratic administration. Compare and contrast this transition to the Bush-Obama exchange.

1) What are the comparisons and contrasts?
2) What would you do to prevent inflation?
3) What would you do to prevent a massive unemployment like our 1930's Depression?
4) Thoughts or ideas to solve the problem?
5) What kinds of legislation is needed in Obama's administration to prevent this financial chaos?
6) How are we going to get the funding to pay for the war and bailouts?
