Resolved Question: Did you see that mishill 0bama for each tomato she purchased had a carbon footprint of several tons?

Hi-Ho, the Derry-O Video Downtown Farmers Market Draws D.C. Crowd First lady Michelle Obama was on hand to support the opening of a farmers market that closed Vermont Avenue between H and Eye Streets NW to traffic Thursday afternoon. By Dana Milbank Friday, September 18, 2009 Let's say you're preparing dinner and you realize with dismay that you don't have any certified organic Tuscan kale. What to do? Here's how Michelle Obama handled this very predicament Thursday afternoon: The Secret Service and the D.C. police brought in three dozen vehicles and shut down H Street, Vermont Avenue, two lanes of I Street and an entrance to the McPherson Square Metro station. They swept the area, in front of the Department of Veterans Affairs, with bomb-sniffing dogs and installed magnetometers in the middle of the street, put up barricades to keep pedestrians out, and took positions with binoculars atop trucks. Though the produce stand was only a block or so from the White House, the first lady hopped into her armored limousine and pulled into the market amid the wail of sirens. Then, and only then, could Obama purchase her leafy greens. "Now it's time to buy some food," she told several hundred people who came to watch. "Let's shop!" Cowbells were rung. Somebody put a lei of marigolds around Obama's neck. The first lady picked up a straw basket and headed for the "Farm at Sunnyside" tent, where she loaded up with organic Asian pears, cherry tomatoes, multicolored potatoes, free-range eggs and, yes, two bunches of Tuscan kale. She left the produce with an aide, who paid the cashier as Obama made her way back to the limousine. There's nothing like the simple pleasures of a farm stand to return us to our agrarian roots. The first lady had encouraged Freshfarm Markets, the group that runs popular farmers markets in Dupont Circle and elsewhere, to set up near the White House, and she helped get the approvals to shut down Vermont Avenue during rush hour on Thursdays. But the result was quite the opposite of a quaint farmers market. Considering all the logistics, each tomato she purchased had a carbon footprint of several tons. The promotion of organic and locally grown food, though an admirable cause, is a risky one for the Obamas, because there's a fine line between promoting healthful eating and sounding like a snob. The president, when he was a candidate in 2007, got in trouble in Iowa when he asked a crowd, "Anybody gone into Whole Foods lately and see what they charge for arugula?" Iowans didn't have a Whole Foods. For that reason, it's probably just as well that the first lady didn't stop by the Endless Summer Harvest tent yesterday. The Virginia farm had a sign offering "tender baby arugula" -- hydroponically grown, pesticide free -- and $5 for four ounces, which is $20 a pound. Obama, in her brief speech to the vendors and patrons, handled the affordability issue by pointing out that people who pay with food stamps would get double the coupon value at the market. Even then, though, it's hard to imagine somebody using food stamps to buy what the market offered: $19 bison steak from Gunpowder Bison, organic dandelion greens for $12 per pound from Blueberry Hill Vegetables, the Piedmont Reserve cheese from Everson Dairy at $29 a pound. Rounding out the potential shopping cart: $4 for a piece of "walnut dacquoise" from the Praline Bakery, $9 for a jumbo crab cake at Chris's Marketplace, $8 for a loaf of cranberry-walnut bread and $32 for a bolt of yarn. The first lady said the market would particularly appeal to federal employees in nearby buildings to "pick up some good stuff for dinner." Yet even they might think twice about spending $3 for a pint of potatoes when potatoes are on sale for 40 cents a pound at Giant. They could get nearly five dozen eggs at Giant for the $5 Obama spent for her dozen. But whatever the socioeconomics, there can be no doubt that Obama brought some serious attention to her cause. Hundreds of people crowded the market entrance on I Street as police directed pedestrians to alternative subway entrances. Hundreds braved a light rain and gave a hearty cheer when Obama and her entourage took the stage. "I can't imagine there's been a day in the history of our country when people have been more excited about farmers markets," Mayor Adrian Fenty, Obama's warm-up act, told the crowd. The first lady, in gray slacks and blue sweater, marveled that the people were "so pumped up" despite the rain. "I have never seen so many people so excited about fruits and vegetables!" she said. (Must be the tender baby arugula.) She spoke of the global reach of her cause: "The first thing world leaders, prime ministers, kings, queens ask me about is the White House garden. And then they ask about Bo." She spoke of the fuel fed to the world's most powerful man: "I've learned that when my family eats fresh food, healthy food, that it really aff more

Resolved Question: Price Discrimination Questions?

1. Many pharmaceuticals produced in the United States are sold at lower prices in other countries than in the United States. Proposed legislation would allow drugs sold by U.S. firms in Canada to be re-imported to the United States at prices available in Canada. If such legislation passed, which of the following would most likely occur? A. The prices at which pharmaceuticals are sold in the United States will fall to the levels that now exist in Canada. B. The price at which pharmaceuticals are sold in the United States will fall, and the price at which they are sold in Canada will rise. C. The profits earned by pharmaceutical companies will not be affected because their patents give them monopoly power in supplying many types of drugs. 2. The EarthCom Company prices its wireless service differently in the two market segments it serves even though the cost of adding a new customer is the same in each segment. Market research has shown that EarthCom can increase its profits by price-discriminating, rather than charging the same price to all customers. Currently, the extra revenue that EarthCom obtains from a monthly subscription is $25 in market one and $15 in market two. (Note that these figures are marginal revenues, not prices.) Which of the following statements is most likely correct? A. EarthCom's price-discrimination policy is probably maximizing its profits. B. From the information provided, we can't determine whether EarthCom's pricing policy is maximizing its profits. C. EarthCom's price-discrimination policy is not maximizing EarthCom's profits. 3. After the patent on a drug has expired, the same pharmaceutical is often sold for very different prices under its brand-name label and as a generic (even by the same company). True or False: This practice does not constitute price discrimination because all customers have the opportunity to buy the lower-priced generic drug. a) True b) False 4. An advertisement for a motel chain says that if you stay for three nights at the motel you can stay a fourth night for free. This represents a 25% reduction in price for people who stay four nights. Which of the following statements is more likely to be correct? A. This practice represents market segmentation for the motel. It lowers the price for people whose demand for rooms is more sensitive to price. B. If the motel were filled to capacity, it wouldn't run this kind of "sale" on rooms. This practice is just off-peak pricing, not price discrimination. 5. You own the Whitney Farm in central Iowa. You grow and sell corn as do all the neighboring farmers. You and your fellow Iowa farmers grow essentially the same corn, most of which is bought by ranchers as feed for their livestock. Your experience tells you that some ranchers raise livestock that eat only corn while other ranchers raise livestock that will eat a number of different grains. In other words, different types of ranchers have different demands for corn. Which of the following is most likely to occur, assuming you are a profit-seeker? A. You will charge a higher price to the ranchers who have a less price-elastic demand for corn and a lower price to those who have a more price-elastic demand for corn. B. You would like to price-discriminate but you don't believe that it will be feasible in a market in which there are so many corn farmers. C. You will charge a lower price to the ranchers who have a less price-elastic demand for corn and a higher price to those who have a more price-elastic demand. more

Resolved Question: obama revolution..does this article make sense to any one?

HEY FOLKS I WAS WONDERING HOW YOU GUYS FELT ABOUT THE ''OBAMA REVOLUTION''? IS IT GOOD OR BAD FROM WHAT YOU READ ABOUT THIS ARTICLE.this article doesnt make sense to me i think its rediculous The Obama Revolution Paid for by the people.Article In the closing weeks of last year's election campaign, we wrote that Democrats had in mind the most sweeping expansion of government in decades. Liberals clucked, but it turns out even we've been outbid. With yesterday's fiscal 2010 budget proposal, President Obama is attempting not merely to expand the role of the federal government but to put it in such a dominant position that its power can never be rolled back. APThe first point to understand is the sheer magnitude of federal spending built into this proposal. As the nearby chart shows, federal outlays will soar in fiscal 2009 to $4 trillion, or 27.7% of GDP, from $3 trillion or 21% of GDP in 2008, and 20% in 2007. This is higher as a share of the economy than any year since 1945, when the country was still mobilized for World War II. It is more spending by far than during the Vietnam War, or during the recessions of 1974-75 or 1981-82. But let's assume, for the sake of argument, that Mr. Obama is right that this spending is needed now to "jump-start" an economic recovery. Though the budget predicts that the economy will recover in 2010, spending will still be 24.1% of GDP that year, and the budget proposes that spending will remain higher than 22% for the entire next decade even as the defense budget steadily declines. All Presidential budgets predict spending will decline in the "out years," if only to give the illusion of spending restraint. Mr. Obama tries the same trick, but he is proposing so many new and expanded nondefense programs that his budgeteers can't get anywhere close even to Jimmy Carter spending levels. These columns focus on spending, rather than deficits, because Milton Friedman taught us that spending represents the real future burden on taxpayers. Nonetheless, the 2009 budget deficit is estimated to be an eye-popping 12.7% of GDP, which once again dwarfs anything we've seen in the postwar era. The White House blueprint predicts that this will fall back down to 3.5% as soon as 2012, but this is based on assumptions about Washington that aren't going to happen. For example, Mr. Obama's budget assumes that nearly all of the new stimulus spending will be temporary -- a fantasy. He also proposes to eliminate farm subsidies for those with annual sales of more than $500,000. This is a great idea, and long overdue. But has the President checked with Senators Kent Conrad (North Dakota) or Chuck Grassley (Iowa)? We hope we're wrong, but a White House that showed no interest in restraining Congress during the recent stimulus bacchanal isn't likely to stand athwart history to stop the agribusiness lobby. The falling deficit also assumes the largest tax increase in U.S. history, starting in 2011 with the repeal of the Bush tax rates on incomes higher than $200,000 for individuals and $250,000 for couples. The White House says this will yield upwards of $1 trillion, if you choose to believe that tax rates don't affect taxpayer behavior. In the real world, two of every three tax filers who fall into this income category are small business owners or investors, who are certainly capable of finding ways to invest that allow them to declare less taxable income. The real impact of this looming tax increase will be to cast further uncertainty over economic decisions and either slow or postpone the recovery. Ditto for the estimated $646 billion from a new cap-and-trade tax, which no one wants to call a tax but would give the political class vast new leverage over the private economy. (See here.) Then there is Mr. Obama's plan for national health care. The White House has put a $634 billion place holder in the budget to pay for covering tens of millions of uninsured Americans with government subsidized coverage. But even advocates of this government plan say the cost will be closer to $1 trillion over 10 years, and probably much more. Meanwhile, the President is promising to reform entitlements, but his budget proposes a net increase of about $1 trillion in Medicare, Medicaid and other entitlements. The biggest illusion in this budget may be its optimistic economic forecast. The White House assumes that the economy will decline by only 1.2% this year, before growing by 3.2% next year. This assumes the recovery will begin later this year and gather steam quickly to return to normal levels of growth. By 2010 to 2013, the budget adds, the economy will be cooking by an average of 4% a year -- which is also how it conjures up magical deficit reduction. This growth is a lovely thought, but how? The only impetus for growth in this budget comes from the government spending more money that it is taking out of the job-producing private economy. With $1 trillion of new entitlements, $1.4 t more
