This past week we have taken a lot of notes and learned a lot about supply but we have taken no test on it just a few quizzes.  We have also had to draw I do not even know how many graphs.  An update in Weserville is we had a holiday on Wednesday, the day we took our PSATs and the others either went on a field trip or a retreat.  But the day after there was a huge flood in Weserville that had a  huge affect on the supply in the town.

Debt of the United States

On October 10th, 2013 QUOCTRUNG BUI wrote about the debt of the United STates.  They say that if they do not raise the debt ceiling soon then the US will not be ale to pay the debt at all.  There is a chart of who the US owes money too.  The US owes money to other countries ($2.6 trillion), individuals and COOPERATIONs ($1 trillion), federal reserve ($2.1 trillion), SOCIAL SECURITY ($2.6 trillion), federal retirement and disabilty ($1 trillion), and China ($1.3 trillion).  These are just to name a few there are quite more that are not named.  But to pay this off will take so long and who knows if we will even be able to do it because as we are trying to pay the debt we put ourselves in more debt.  For example the shutting down of the government will put us billions more in debt.  Like in the shutdown in 1996, that lasted 26 days it costed the government $1.4 billion and roughly $2.1 billion in today's money.  As time goes on the US will continue going in debt even as when we try to get out of it, it seems like a CONTINUOUS cycle.

This week in class we have been learning about demand and being making a lot of demand graphs.  Earlier this week as we all know our government has shut down so we have had a lot of talk about that.  Yesterday we watched Shark Tank and that was my first time ever seeing it and I actually thought it was pretty interesting.  While we were watching it Mrs. Weser brought it one of the products the people proposed which was a mango jelly that you can put in others things to make other foods. She put it in cream cheese and we had it with crackers. Then Patrick brought in cheese dip and chips and was nice enough to share.  The food made it great because we all like to eat especially in class.  It was a pretty relaxed week and hopefully will be followed by another.
