Retail trade sales and food service sales 8. Housing starts 9. Manufacturing and trade inventories and sales 10. S & P 500 stock index

Why are they the top 10 best? 1. Real GDP: Federal reserves uses it and other related things to adjust its Monetary Policy. 2. M2 (Money supply): Federal reserves uses to find current economic standings. (Some economists use to predict cyclical recessions and recoveries) 3.

What is a Consumer Price Index (CPI)?  An index of the changes in prices paid by average consumers for retail goods and other items.

-Will this help our economy? -Will it create expansion or recession? -How will it effect the standard of living? FISCAL CLIFF

Will This Help Our Economy?  No, I believe that the fiscal cliff will cause a recession. cal-cliff-traffic-report/

Will it create expansion or recession?  Recession.  If the fiscal cliff isn’t avoided, the GDP will shrink.5 percent in  First ½ of the year: Tax hikes and spending cuts will make the GDP to shrink 2.9%  Second ½ of the year: GDP will slightly shoot up with a predicted 1.9% growth.  WHY? The fiscal cliff is worse than other years because of more payroll tax cuts and federal unemployment benefits.

How Will it Effect the Standard of Living?  I think it will definitely LOWER the standard of living.  But not to a point where our country would need to fret about it.  Fiscal cliff would LOWER it, but won’t LOWER it too much.
