While, there are many dedicated, excellent teachers, a lot only look at the bottom line, and are able to hold our children hostage until they get more salary and benefits. Arpie: I just got out my December 06 pay stub so I could tell you what last year looked like. At age 48, having taught since 1981, my gross pay was a little less than $46,000 last year. Subtract from that $7,000 in taxes, including social security: $6,000 for my familys health insurance, and $3,000 for my half of my retirement, and the total dwindles quickly as it does for anyone that is trying to support a family.
Economists Debate the Quickest Cure
President Bush highlighted both those basic approaches on Friday in setting out his principles for a deal with Congress to address the current downturn. Democrats are also likely to seek increased spending for programs like unemployment insurance or to funnel more money to states, an approach that Mr. Bush signaled he would oppose. "The research I've seen indicates that the programs in 2001 clearly worked," Treasury Secretary Henry M. Paulson Jr. said in an interview, referring to the tax measures. "They worked quickly, and people spent the money they got. The thing we should be looking at now is how to make them even more effective." The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office reported this week that each of the three elements of the 2001-2 stimulus personal tax rebates, incentives for business investment and government spending programs played a role in lifting the economy.

Assume our imaginary person, a delivery man, gets an income of 100 rupees a day and that all of his consumption is imported. He spends 96 rupees on petrol and four rupees on other things. Assume further that petrol is raised to 97 rupees. The nature of energy is such that there is an economic imperative to consume it. Our man has to go to work for example. People are willing to spend on energy because they seem to get huge returns from doing so, like going to work. So demand for oil is fairly inelastic. If he continues to use petrol, paying 97 rupees, he has to cut down other imported goods to 3. There is simply no other alternative unless our imaginary person gets into debt. So the bulk of the import compression in a fuel price rise in the very short term will come not from oil but from other imports.
