There has been discussion about whether the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act that took effect in 2018 is increasing tax revenue. Tax revenue can be thought of an as average tax rate multiplied by taxable income. If the average tax rate falls while taxable income stays the same, tax revenue will fall. But what if the tax cuts increase taxable income? The major schools of thought in macroeconomics (Keynesians and Neoclassicals) believe that tax cuts increase economic growth. Economic growth increases taxable income. Our economic growth before the pandemic brought unemployment down to historically low levels.
Start your discussion by responding to these questions:
Do you think that tax cuts increase economic growth and taxable income so much that tax revenue increases?
Or do you think that tax cuts reduce tax revenue? Explain your answers.

Hi, please see the attachment. I will explain briefly here.
First of all, please make it clear that this report is a preliminary draft for the final research report, so please don’t write it directly as final research paper. please see the attachment “Research progress report details” for specific requirement, in which there is a very detailed description, including the content of this report need to cover. It is worth mentioning that this report needs to include charts, tables, etc. These charts and tables can be found in other references or you can make your own according to the data and analyze them. 
Secondly, as this is a research report, it needs to include questions and hypotheses about 
my chosen topic. For this, you can refer to my “Idea Presentation” power point and “Idea Pre Speech draft”, which contain the research question, hypothesis, and importantly, the methodology of my presentation. Please try to relate as much as possible to what I have already presented, but of course, you can also improve on it to make it better. Here I would like to focus on the Methodology, I will be using a Linear Regression Model, the specific model I have placed in the Methodology section of the power point. In this model, employment is the dependent variable and price of oil is the independent variable. In addition to that, some control variables are needed. I have given some ideas like education, salary etc. For the control variables, the writer can write according to his own ideas. However, it is necessary to find the corresponding data for subsequent analysis. For the data, I have already found the employment rate and price of oil. (Please refer to the Excel table named Oil price and employment with graph.) For the data of control variables, the writers need to find the relevant data according to their own ideas. Bring these data into the regression model and analyze them.
Finally, I would like to say that if you have any questions during the writing process, please feel free to contact me. I will also be happy to help answer them. 
Best!

Please respond to my classmates post the original assignment below:
Revenues
Gross Domestic Product and total spending both displayed upward trends until 2019, according to Fiscal Data. However, in 2020, GDP experienced its first decline since 2015, dropping from 25.42 trillion to 25.09 trillion. Despite this, total spending continued to rise, reaching a peak of 7.72 trillion in 2020, making this the largest year-over-year increase since 2015, approximately 2.4 trillion. Post-2020, GDP and total spending have diverged, with GDP increasing while total spending decreased. GDP rose from 20% to 23% between 2015 and 2023, peaking at 31% in 2020. (Fiscal Data Explains Federal Spending, n.d.)
Spending
The federal government’s spending is allocated to multiple categories according to the Fiscal Data website. Each category represents goods, services, and programs into which the government invests resources and funding. These categories include Health, Net Interest, National Defense, Medicare, Income Security, Veterans Benefits, Commerce, and Housing. Another grouping encompasses Education, Training, Employment, Social Services, and Transportation. Additionally, a miscellaneous category represents an assortment of less substantial expenditures. According to Government Spending Watch (Definitions and Sources, n.d.), each category is detailed below: 
Health- Covers marketplace health insurance subsidies, Medicaid, CHIP, and ACA costs, which benefit low-income individuals, including children, parents, older adults, and individuals with disabilities.
Net Interest- Funds interest payments on past deficits, supporting public services and international programs like humanitarian aid.
National Defense- Covers Defense Department costs, including operations, personnel, weapons procurement, and research.
Medicare- Offers health coverage to individuals 65 and older and those with disabilities.
Income Security- Provides aid, excluding health insurance or Social Security benefits, to those facing hardship, including tax credits, unemployment insurance, and COVID relief.
Veterans Benefits- Provides benefits to veterans, former federal employees, civilians, and the military.
Education, Training, Employment, and Social Services- Invests in education, infrastructure, natural resources, research, law enforcement, and other federal duties.
Transportation- Funds are used for building, maintaining, and repairing highways, bridges, and roads and for weather-related upkeep.
Commerce and Housing- Offers various forms of assistance for low-income individuals, including food aid, housing support, childcare, energy bill assistance, and programs aiding abused or neglected children.
Miscellaneous- Includes various expenditures.
Choices and Scarcity
If I were responsible for managing spending, my initial focus would be providing additional resources for healthcare and education. Emphasizing healthcare would promote a healthier society, well-being, and longevity. Investment in education can impact long-term economic growth by facilitating access to resources and quality educators. Enhanced knowledge and skills training could fuel innovation and creativity, benefiting collective well-being. 
Given the constraints of limited resources, reallocating funds would be necessary. As Shapiro et al. (2022) pointed out, a fundamental economic principle is that every choice carries an opportunity cost (p. 30). It is crucial to balance the redistribution of resources, especially considering the existing deficit. For instance, funds might need to be shifted from income security programs to increase teacher salaries, potentially affecting tax credits and unemployment benefits through reductions or eliminations.
Increasing Revenues
The U.S. government raises funds by issuing securities, or debt, to individuals, businesses, other government agencies, and foreign countries. These securities encompass Treasury bills, notes, bonds, Treasury inflation-protected securities (TIPS), and savings bonds (Borrowing and the Federal Debt, n.d.). In addition, taxes are applied to and, at times, raised on goods, services, property, and income to raise income.

Orginal assignment:
Fiscal Data is a one-stop shop for federal financial data. The Department of the Treasury and the Bureau of the Fiscal Service created Fiscal Data to consolidate federal financial data into one easy-to-use website. This website will provide you with an overview of US Government finances.  You’ll find information on revenue and spending, as well as the deficit and the debt.  This website provides an overview of the trillions of dollars collected and spent by the federal government each year.
The federal government operates much like your individual household.  They take in revenue (like your household income) and they spend that revenue on programs (your household expenses).  Just like your household operates, decisions are made about your income and expenditures, the Federal Government must also make those decisions.  
Conduct additional research. For guidance on finding, selecting, and evaluating scholarly, peer-reviewed resources, please refer to the NLU Library’s Research Process guide and/or make an appointment with a librarian! Respond to the following discussion prompts and in your answers, be sure to draw on all relevant readings and videos in this week’s materials.  Also, be sure to provide examples to support your answers.
Revenues.  When you explore this website, you’ll see that the main sources of revenue are taxes from individual taxpayers, small businesses, and corporations.  There are smaller sources of revenue through excise tax, estate tax and other taxes and fees.  When you look at these sources of revenue over time, what surprises you about the information?  Provide details to support your answer. 
Spending.  When you further explore this website, you’ll see that the main sources of expenditures are goods, programs, and services that support the economy and people of the United States.  The federal government also spends money on the interest it has incurred on outstanding federal debt (yes, the federal government, much like individual households, must borrow money to bridge the gap between revenue and expenditures). Identify each category of spending and provide a short definition of each category.
Choices and Scarcity.  As you can see from your research, there is only so much revenue and choices must be made about where to spend that money for goods and services.  If you were in charge, how would you change the spending of the revenues?  Why?  What would have to be given up in order to implement this new plan? 
Increasing Revenues.  If there are extra expenditures in your household, you can either take out a loan or increase your income.  How would the US Government go about taking out a loan?  How would the US Government go about increasing the Revenue?  Provide detail and examples to support your response.  
After completing your initial post, review and post critiques/insights/reactions of a minimum of 200 words each to at least two of your colleagues’ postings on different days. This is a minimum requirement.  Remember to respond to any questions or requests for additional information from you from your classmates and your instructor.

Write a 500 to 750-word report on the supply of or demand for a product or service produced at your workplace or a product/service you use. Products/services produced by private-sector, for-profits businesses are usually the best choices for this assignment. Still, some products/services produced by not-for-profit organizations, such as a college or university (educational services), also work well. Do not use products/services that are given away for free or are paid for by third-parties, such as health insurance providers. Also, avoid products/services provided by government agencies. The following bullets include some words that are in blue — use these words as first-level headings with appropriate capitalization. Your report should:
• Include a brief introduction and a conclusion. See the note, Introductions and Conclusions, for more information on introductions and conclusions. Your introduction should include a concise preview of your report’s topics as well as a short thesis statement.
• Briefly discuss the five variables that can cause a shift of the supply curve and the six variables that can cause a shift of the demand curve that are listed in Chapter 3 of the course textbook. • Include a determinants of supply or demand table. For more details and to download a copy of the tables, please click the Determinants of Supply or Demand Table for Week Two Report link that is posted in our online classroom.
• Include a graph showing either a shift in supply or a shift in demand. If you are very ambitious you could show shifts in both supply and demand, but that is not required. You can earn full-credit by simply showing a shift in either supply or demand. Explain your supply/demand graph using the terminology of economics.
• Evaluate the outlook for the supply of and demand for the product/service. Include this evaluation in your conclusion. Please note: Your conclusion should also review all the major elements of your report.
