This is very important, but another step in recovering the economy is to determine how taxes should be utilized. Some argue that raising taxes will pump more money into the economy. Those people however, are neglecting the fact that there are so many people out of work. This places a higher burden on the working class citizens of America who are forced to pick up the slack. With more money going to taxes and less funds on hand, more people are losing their homes and going into debt which only worsens the situation for all those involved (O'Sullivan 2003).

Some cope better than others. We don't know who they are, why they cope better, what resources they have access to.

Economics: Application of Concepts An Analysis of the Economic Situation in the U.S. In the last five years, we have seen the U.S. economy expand but at a pace that is seen as being relatively moderate. In conducting an analysis of the current economic situation in the U.S., I will largely limit myself to inflation, interest rates, and unemployment. Although the current economic situation is better than it was five years ago, there
Tax systems are an important and integral part of any economy around the world. Taxes are imposed by the governments on various activities and it eventually becomes an important source of revenue generation for the governments.

The programs that constituted President Franklin Delano Roosevelt's New Deal were not entirely unknown in the pre-Depression world.
