Beginning in March 2013, federal government spending was resstrained due to the sequester (feel free to Google details). Moreover, then President Obama’s budget proposals called for cuts in various types of government spending over the next ten years. Use the AD-AS model (along with a labor market graph) to show and explain how this will affect Y, N, W/P, and P over time. As an aside, recent news reports have suggested that the possibility of a renewed use of the sequester is part of the current political maneuvering over the federal budget for the fiscal year that starts October 1st.

Plot the following markets on a graph: AD/AS graph: using 19.1 trillion for RGDP and 1.9% for inflation as point A (equilibrium). How will our AD/AS graph look like when Congress implements an income tax cut (Shift the appropriate AD/AS curve on the graph)?
A major demographic change that has been affecting the U.S. is the wave of retirements among aging baby boomers (those born between 1946 and 1964). Combined with the relative decline in the number of young people entering the labor force, the retirement of many boomers will cause the labor force to grow more slowly and age. Use the AD-AS model (along with a labor market graph) to show and explain how this will affect Y, N, W/P, and P over time.
