Go to the internet and find a news article(s) published within the last month that discusses US short-term and long-term economic growth, summarize key points of the article using macroeconomic terminology, and post your response in the Discussions area.

Note that the goal of this discussion is to read, understand, and discuss recent news using macroeconomic terminology. The article should be from an online newspaper or magazine. Materials posted on educational websites, such as www.thebalance.com, www.khanacademy.org, and so on, are not considered news articles even if they were recently updated and contain material related to the discussion topic.

Reflection: the students should also include a paragraph in the initial response in their own words, using macroeconomic terminology, reflecting on what they learned from the assignment and how they think they could apply what they learned in the workplace or in everyday life.
