Question: Economic policy is a complex but vital part of the United States. To start this forum, take a look at CNBCs explanation of who the Federal Reserve is and what they do.

Now, look through online sources to locate a specific economic policy in effect that you find interesting. It could relate to taxation, user fees, mortgage rates, minimum wage, or anything tied to US economic interest.

Then analyze it using the policy framework we have been discussing. Consider effectiveness, efficiency, ethics, equity, political feasibility, social/cultural feasibility, etc.

Be sure that you provide some background on the issue at the start of your post and include links to current event articles that help to explain the issue.
