Question

Thinking about the intersection of government and the economy in the United States by considering your everyday life. From the time you get up in the morning until you go to bed at night, what contacts do you have with the government? Which of those contacts are related to the economy?
What do you think about them being involved or not involved ?

Answer 1

Even if you are not an adult yet, it is likely that you have interactions with the government all the time. For example, you attend school. Schools are monitored and supervised by the government. Your learning is also studied in various ways by the government. However, this has little to do with the economy.

One of the most obvious ways in which government and the economy interact in your daily life is through taxes. Even if you do not work, when you buy anything at a store, you are most likely paying taxes on those items.
