Political machine, in U.S. politics, a party organization, headed by a single boss or small autocratic group, that commands enough votes to maintain political and administrative control of a city, county, or state.
The rapid growth of American cities in the 19th century, a result of both immigration and migration from rural areas, created huge problems for city governments, which were often poorly structured and unable to provide services. In those conditions, political machines—such as Tammany Hall, run by boss William Magear Tweed (1823–73) in New York City—were able to build a loyal voter following, especially among immigrant groups, by performing such favours as providing jobs or housing.

Economic, cultural, and ideological differences were some of the problems unified Germany faced in 1990. Eastern Germany lost a lot of the money during currency conversion. Industrially the east was lacking and did not and could not produce as many products as the west could. Eastern Germany was damaged way more than Western Germany and was repaired at a slower rate than Western Germany. The railroads were not modernized as well as other technologies such as highways, and telephones. Due to the Berlin Wall politically and culturally the Eastern and Western Germans began to do believe and do things differently.
I think that if you are spending so much on little necessities, then your wasting money because the only things you need to buy are the things you actually need. Not electronics, not toys, just the simple things you need. Not phones, not PS4s, nothing like that. You pretty much are wasting your life on doing those type things. Your losing more energy everyday doing stuff like that. It is really not helping much when you do things like that because like I said, your wasting your energy, your money, and trees and minerals and things to keep the ACTUAL things we need in life today, like food and shade for when it's hot out from the trees. But you also need to keep in mind, the more money we make and things, more trees go away. Animals might even be dying from this. That is how I think the changes in spending will effect the economy.
