Experts have used Christmas spending as a great economic indicator that will let us know if the economy is turning around. The confidence in the public to spend money on higher priced items will tell us if the new year be easier on the middle and lower classes, decrease unemployment, and improve our economic outlook.
Do you think this political cartoon by Joe Heller of the Green Bay Press-Gazette supports the idea of economic growth? What message is the artist trying to make? Can you make any connections to this cartoon?
I wonder why more items that are newer cost much more then the things that are older hard to find now a days then the older things won't be around for along time so why are the newer things more expensive then the older things.?
ReplyDeleteThis picture makes sence to me becasuse they raise the prices on items that they know peolpe will want to buy. Why does it pay to buy any electronics if they come out with a better version then the older version?
ReplyDeletewell Dakota why the newer things are more money is because 1 they were just made and also people want more money for the newer things.
ReplyDeleteBut what if I had a old fasion car and the new iphone4 came out what would be rarer.
DeleteDakota the newer things cost more money because they are brand new and has ever been used before so they cost alot of money and the old ones cost less because they have been used before that why people trade them in to get new ones instead the ones they have.
ReplyDeleteBut what if I had a old car and the new iphone4 came out what would be rarer.
DeleteWhy do people even make new devices because some of the devices use the same stuff and are the same like for example iPod and iPad are the same but the screen is just wider
ReplyDeletei get it people waste there money on that and get head achs because you spent so much money
ReplyDeleteWay to go Jack.
DeleteI think you all miss the fact that those are credit card bills in the last frame. Does spending more money using credit cards mean our economy is getting better, or we are just putting ourselves in a bigger hole of debt?
ReplyDeleteI think that person who spent all his money got a headach because he played too much video games like angry birds.
ReplyDeleteGood one. Who pays for the games? Why do people buy what they can't afford? Peer pressure?
