Build a Party

I found this project to be very interesting, the different types of governments each group plan to asses shows the many different beliefs individuals have at what government style works. Examples of the different type of government each group plan to use are; Group 3 feels that a small government with anti taxes is best for the country and not focusing on the mainstream politicians. I thought it was interesting that this group will reach out to the young children to teach them the fundamentals of growth. I feel this is key to the government becoming powerful and gaining the trust of the people. With the focus on fundamental growing to children this will help the economy for the future when the children are set to lead the economy and government. As far as rebuilding the economy I agree with the stance of Group 4, their party will focus on tax-cuts and holding the financial intstitutions of today accountable for their own behaviors and actions. Another issue that Group 4 will take action on is the demise of the automobiles. I agree with this group that by bailing out the auto industry such as; GM, Ford, Chrysler this will help the national economy from crashing into a bigger whole. In my group (Group 1) our focus was on attracting the the moderate voter and lowering the Federal defecit. Group 1 was a mixture of Group 3 and 4. We wanted to keep a small government and still offer a tax break for the working class. These different approaches of every group shows that there are many ideas and issues to attack to get our economy and government back to the way it was before the Bush Administration.
My group was pressing for time getting the assignment completed. The toughest part of this project was the communication and time spaces for everyone. We just relied on communicating online through D2L, this wasn’t completely a bad thing, but we probably couldve communicated better through different devices. The way that we approached the project was having everyone voice their opinion to each question and merge our ideas together. I think this turned out to be an effective way to building our party. For future projects I would suggest to communicate in more ways than one. When voicing your opinions, it’s sometimes difficult to just communicate through typing. I would suppest some verbal or face to face communication to allow for more interaction. All in all I thought it was a great project.

I'm not sure how bailing out the auto industry will help or even stabilize the nationbal economy. When these executives arrive in seperate corporate jets and have no business plan whatsoever, how is America supposed to sympathize will their failing companies? And, wouldnt bankruptcy be a better solution to be able to reorganize?
