Refine and pose a reasonably complex problem definition along with a set of objectives (elements that you want to exist in your solution). Do not go beyond the objectives stage.

1.Provide your view and just enough background detail to allow the reader to understand the problem and objectives.
2.The length should be between 550 and 800 words (excluding the title page and references). Assignments under 550 and over 800 words will attract penalties.
3.Formal writing is required using APA.
4.Copied input, quotations, and paraphrasing require citations and references conforming to APA 6th edition standards to avoid the dire consequences of plagiarism and cheating. Formal research is not required.

PLEASE NOTE: Please be cautious as to quoting this or that source (and believing it) that suggests a one-to-one relationship between stimulus and economic effect. Most stimulus attempts, like artificially low interest rates, loads of liquidity, high federal spending, etc., have limited long term positive economic effects, though the negative effects may last for a decade or two. The only long-lasting stimulus effect with demonstratable evidence has been lowering marginal tax rates, which left-leaning politicians do not want. Almost all other claims of effective stimulus are political messages meant to sound like fact, but they are not based on any other evidence than verbal claims. Economic incentives sometimes work, but that necessitates a belief in the free market that left-leaning politicians and right-leaning statists seldom like as politicians have trouble controlling who benefits with lower tax rates or marketplace incentives.
