Welcome

Welcome to the learning community designed and managed by Ms. Rita Callahan, instuctor of economics and mathematics. Most of you are current or former students from my classes. I trust you will enjoy this attempt to connect our studies to the real world. From time to time I will make observations on my experiences and things I read. I hope you will comment and add your observations as well.


There is much to learn form others, especially those whose experiences may differ from our own. As I mention elsewhere in this blog, this is my attempt to incorporate 21st century learning formats into the educational experience of my students. Perhaps this will invite some interesting discussions.

Austerity versus stimulus

We can't have it both ways. I read an article titled "Time to Disband the Supercommittee" in the Nation online. It's time to admit that strict means for trimming the federal deficit will only cool the economy during a period of major unemployment. It is true that most Americans are more interested in jobs than budgets.
