2009 Economic Stimulus Package - posted

FYI the ECON Group Paper has been posted to the Documents and Projects section!

Despite our delusional tendencies at our meeting today (and any other day....), great work guys!  I'm absolutely serious when I say that I think we have a great group and I look forward to continuing the program with y'all and growing within it.  We have a great group (minus Pat making weird noises and repeatedly showing up late, ha) and the next few years are going to be tough at times, but we'll get through them together!

Now let's finish up these papers and rock this ECON final later in the week!  Tomorrow is D-Day and I'll let y'all know when it's all final!!!!  And again, Mexican and Margs in Vinings tomorrow for anyone that wants to join.  Thanks for letting me vent, as always :)

ECON Assignment #2

Hey kids!

ECON Assignment #2 has been graded and we got a 28/30 = 93%

Great job!!  Remember that all portions of the paper are due to Abby by 8 PM on Friday!

Terrance emailed me yesterday to say that Chapter 10 is good for understanding the Aggregate Demand models and how it is affected by government spending and tax cuts and that it was helpful for him on the paper.  Hope everyone managed some sleep last night.  Mine was minimal, just as I'm sure it will be every other night this week.  Yay for Hell Week!!  See y'all tomorrow!
