Should the government rate music?

No, the government should not rate music. If the government starts rating music, they're saying what people can and can't listen to. That's censorship and a violation to freedom of speech! And if they get away with censoring music, it's just a matter of time before they censor television and books. Kids and their parents should have the right to decide what music kids listen to. The government should stay out of it! It is not their job to boss people around. If it was, then why do we even call ourselves freemen? It is the parent's job and responsibility to teach their children to do good things and it is NONE of the government's business to meddle with our personal lives.

How does inflation affect saving and investing?

During periods of high inflation, investors generally try to preserve purchasing power by seeking returns that keep up with inflation. Equity (stock) markets generally perform poorly in periods of high inflation with the exception of stocks of companies that benefit from inflation (like commodity companies). The Dow Jones Industrials average was basically flat in the 1970's when inflation was high. Yields on fixed income securities (govt bonds and corporate bonds) usually rise with the corresponding increase in inflation since fixed income investors need a premium over the rate of inflation for a 'real' rate of return. For example, a bond investor that requires a 5% return in a 3% inflation environment will require 7% in a 5% inflation environment. The Investopedia link below has a basic article on this topic.

What is imported inflation?

Inflation in other countries(trading partners)=>Higher input price for goods =>reduce competitive pressure on import-competing domestic goods price of domestic goods may increases. Alternative Way of looking at it: Country A trades with Country B. Currency B appreciates in relation to Currency A. Therefore, from Country A's point of view, it is more expensive to buy raw materials from Country B, but A will still buy raw materials because it is essential for production. As a result, the cost of production for goods increases due to a rise in price of raw materials. Hence, this will cause an increase in the general price level of goods and services in Country A that uses raw materials imported from Country B. Therefore, imported inflation occurs.

What was the inflation rate under Jimmy Carter?

Despite a sluggish economy, inflation reached as high as 14.8%, and interest rates reached as high as 18% during the period 1977-1981. By 1985-1990, this contributed to the failure of Savings and Loan associations which had many bad loans, especially in real estate.

Of course, Carter had inherited the general inflationary trend from the Nixon and Ford adminstrations, which saw the beginnings of double-digit levels. President Ford had instituted the generally-ineffective program called WIN (Whip Inflation Now) in October, 1974. However, by November of 1976 the rate had subsided to 4.9% and was 5.2% when Carter took office. Continuous rises brought it to 14.8% in March, 1980, and 11.8% when Carter left office. Since 1982, general inflation has been suppressed below 6.5% and at times has been much lower.

What are the disadvantages of floor price?

There are different advantages and disadvantages depending on whether you are talking about suppliers, consumers or the governing body.

For the government, the floor price is useful as they can use it to deter people from buying certain goods such as alcohol and tobacco. They can intervene on the market and set a minimum price at which the good must be sold at or above. If they do this then suppliers are forced to increase prices and therefore quantity demanded decreases. (the floor price must be set above the market equilibrium to be effective)

Disadvantages: sometimes an illegal market can develop where the good is sold at the original market price. For example, in the UK it is not uncommon to find small dealers that illegally import large stocks of cigarettes and then sell them for about half the price of cigarettes that can be bought in shops.

Can often make a political party unpopular with large powerful firms and this can affect their future political success (especially in america)

For suppliers, there are not many advantages. They are no longer able to set the price and depending on the elasticity of the good, their revenue will commonly decrease. Also, at this higher price, their will often be a surplus of supply.

For consumers of the good it is all bad. There are no real advantages, however, if for example a floor price is imposed on Cigarettes, then less people will be smoking. Fewer third parties will be affected negatively by second hand smoke and therefore negative externalities will decrease.

What is belly inflation?

Belly inflation is where one uses some pump mechanism to force air or water into his/her intestines. The pressure causes the intestines (and a little bit of the stomach, although this is not the major contribution) to blow up, much like those circus balloons, and therefore push out the person's belly area. It is physically impossible to inflate any other part of one's body using this method, and it is equally impossible to use one's belly button to inflate.

The dangers of doing this include the rupture of one's intestines, whether from too much pressure or being pierced by the tube one is using. I also believe that there is no danger from air getting inside one's blood-stream, since the intestines are separated from the veins, but I may be wrong.----------------------Air gets in your intestines all the time, you'll just fart it out, it won't leak into your bloodstream

If full employment in this economy is 130 million will there be an inflationary expenditure gap or a recessionary gap What will be the consequence of this gap By how much would aggregate expenditures?

A recessionary gap. Equilibrium GDP is $600 billion, while full employment GDP is $700 billion. Employment will be 20 million less than at full employment. Aggregate expenditures would have to increase by $20 billion (= $700 billion -$680 billion) at each level of GDP to eliminate the recessionary gap. The MPC is .8, so the multiplier is 5.
