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.

Are US farm subsidies still necessary?

While reading my online Washington Post articles this morning, I came across this interesting piece regarding world demand for food and its scarcity. I couldn't help but wonder if now is not the time to eliminate farm subsidies. This change would help reduce US federal budget deficits and increase production for world markets.
