The Economy is Falling

The economy is the most important issue in an election to me because money deals with our everyday life. The economy is a huge factor in the United States functioning. If the economy is not stable, major problems soon begin to exist. As of now our nation is in an economic recession. We are heading straight towards a Great Depression. The prices of our products are increasing. As the prices increase, citizens are demanding for a higher minimum wage. Though minimum wage is increasing more people in an election we want a person who will help better our nation and help the people. To do any of these things one needs to know what to do with our economy.
Our economy is the base of all election issues. War and foreign affairs, education, and healthcare all revolve around economics. You need economic prosperity to be able to help foreign affairs, education, and healthcare. Many students would like more funds to be contributed to education so they won’t have a heavy debt after attending college. In war the government uses money for contractors, guns, food, and other equipment needed to help win wars. The reason most elderly people get a low fixed income from Medicare because there isn’t enough to give them a fair amount. Some families live off of money the government gives them to survive. These are election issues that people will argue about, the solution is to have economic growth to be able to disperse money through all these problems and resolve them.

  2. The economy is falling, but we also do need to realize that it has fallen before and we have recovered. There have been about 5 recessions since the Great Depression, and we have recovered from all of them.
