Chapter 16 and 17
In this journal I will be talking about the policies how and who makes them in
order to identify our four government policy programs that attempt to improve citizens
lives and relate the history of environmental regulations in the United States. Private
policy is a nongovernmental policy, adopted by individuals, businesses, or organizations
to solve problems and to advance individual or group interest. Public policy is a
government plan of action to solve a problem that people share collectively or that they
cannot solve on their own. The reason to that would be the difficulties in solving public
problems for example, competing ideas about what constitutes a problem, Solutions are
expensive, solutions generate new problems, Solutions are complex. Redistributive policy
which shift resources from the haves to the have-nots, for example, Medicaid, usually
controversial and highlights differences between how democrats and republicans view the
role of government. The distributive policy funded by the whole taxpayer base to address
the needs of particular group. Some examples are the homeowners tax deductions and
popular because benefits go to specific group while costs are spread so widely that no one
notices them. Regulatory policy designed to change or restrict the behavior of certain
groups or individuals, for example the environmental policy and goal is to protect
citizens. The people who make the policies are the legislatives, executive, bureaucracy
and courts. Some of the steps to make policymaking process is the agenda setting a
problem is identified. Policy formulation is a policymaker take up the issue, and policy
adoption which is the policymakers formally adopt a policy solution, usually in the form
of law or laws. The policy implantation which is the bureaucratic agencies are given
responsibility for making the policy work. Policy evaluation policy analyst in the
bureaucracy if it is effective.
Another thing I will be talking about would be Recognizing the fundamental
language and laws of economics, explaining the differences between fiscal policy and
monetary policy, describing the types of policies used to regulate business, labor, and
trade and Identifying ways in which citizens can influence economic policy. A beginners
guide to understanding economy in the laws of supply and demand. Prices rise as demand
rises and the prices fall as demand falls. Prices fall as supply rises and prizes rise as
supplies falls. The cyclical nature of capitalism whether regulated or not business cycles
are economic expansion and economic contraction. Understanding the economy rapid
growth leads to more people working and earning, causing the demand for good to grow
faster than the supply. Inflation on an increase in the price of goods and services and the
recession a decline in GPD for two consecutive quarters. Depression a sharp reduction in
the nations GDP for more than a ear accompanied by high unemployment. The politics of
fiscal policy made by Congress and the president through the budget process and budget
deficits used to stimulate economy during recession and balanced budgets should be run
when economy is doing well. Supply-side economics is President Reagan’s economic
plan, by which tax cuts would ultimately generate more, not less, government revenues
