Mr. Bruns was playing "Friday" in the beginning of class. Jacob took the test over states and capitals and got a 95%. We started to talk about the economy. Economic indicators are showing whether the economy is good or bad. They look at the prices, whether they are going way up or way down. Business' profits are going down, they could potentially shut down and also there will be less jobs. They will lay people off. People don't spend money, which makes business' loses money, and then people are layed off. It is hard to flip that cycle and what had been that way for a while. President Bush sent out checks for people to spend the money, he didn't want them to save it. We talked about if houses were a buyer or sellers market. Currently it is a buyers market. Gadhafi moved the capital from Tripoli to Sirte his birth place. They broke into his compound, but they have found a lot of evidence that have been useful and we will find out more things about him. CNN and ORC did a poll over the phone. Rick Perry is dominating he is way out in front of everyone else. People are assuming that Palin and Guiliani will run. Huntsman and Santorum are at the bottom and McCotter has less than 1%. After that we went back to the population power point. In 2005-2050 the population is going to change majorly for some countries. "When more babies die, the population increases." People don't know if their kids are going to die, so they have more kids. They will keep having girls in some countries so they keep having kids to try to get a boy. Boys bring more the their families. Class over.
