The failure of the banks could be viewed as a systemic failure and the system stood the potential of completely collapsing.

Fiscal and monetary policies are critical to engendering an environment in which individuals and business can work, save, and invest and thereby advance the economy in aggregate. Fiscal and Monetary Policy and their Influences "Fiscal policy refers to the government's choices regarding the overall level of government purchases or taxes" (Mankiw, N
As a result, the wrong decisions should be punished rather than being rewarded by the government through bailouts. Actually, rewarding the decisions through bailouts does not offer an incentive or benefit for making correct decisions (Miller, 2008)
Generally, when the government increases or profits from taxes, firms usually report increased costs and fewer profits. In contrast, individuals report less income, hide their money, and purchase tax shelters when they experience higher income taxes (Williams, 2011)
However, the government bailout programs and measures have certain advantages and disadvantages. The main advantages of the bailouts include saving the economy since the intervention is carried out in order to prevent a single failing company from collapse and the entire economy (Wolfe, n
At least with price controls, a government can help keep certain items at prices that are reasonable if inflation does take over. This helps to remove the inflationary constraint (Andersen, 2007)

Improving a nation's current account, which is a product of a depreciating dollar where investors move their money to foreign currencies and trade products, also helps to boost the legitimacy and perceived strength of an economy. In Canada, this has the effect of depreciating the currency and boosting aggregate demand, which also helps to boost the country's GDP (Beetsma, Giuliodori, and Klaasen, 2006)
So far, this jobs creation has been very stagnant. Without jobs there is no real hope of any sustainable economic recovery (Colciago, et
S. because China's own valuation of its currency greatly impacts the rate at which foreign trade occurs (Dolls, et
Historically, as rates are lowered, inflation typically occurs. The opposite is true when rates are raised to help stem the flow of liquidity in the market through control of the money supply (Stafford, 2010)
This would be very negative for the world economy and could lead to other measures that would hurt each economy as well as those of the rest of the global macro economy. The Chinese central bank has also taken austerity measures that will likely positively impact its economy and trade status in the middle to longer terms (Kim and Roubini, 2008)
And Chinese interests are caught up in a free floating vs. artificially devalued currency war (Stephen, 2010)
Ergo, economic growth through the private sector is not possible without federal deficit. In his own words, "while it is commonly believed that continual budget deficits will bankrupt the nation, in reality, those budget deficits are the only way that our private sector can save and accumulate net financial wealth" (Wray, 2009)

Those three challenges are: (1) the serious loss of competitiveness, which the economy experienced between 2003 and 2008, reflected in the burgeoning balance of payments deficit; (2) the structural imbalance in the government accounts; and (3) the restoration of order to the banking system. (Bergin, Conefrey, Fitzgerald and Kearney, 2009) The problems experienced presently in the Irish economy are due to serious problems reported to be "a legacy of past policy mistakes culminating with the building and construction bubble" and which are of the nature that must be addressed by tough measures on fiscal policy and a need for competitiveness to be restored
This will result in a shortage of labor that will hold back the rate of growth of the economy approximately 5% annually between 2000 to 2005. (Fitz Gerald, nd, paraphrased) Labor growth estimates have historically proven unreliable and migration to have "confounded expectations

" Those three groups of industries are stated to include: (1) Foreign-owned, grant-aided, export-orientated industries; (2) Industries in which the domestic market is naturally protected; and (3) Internationally traded, relatively large-scale, industries. (O'Donnell, 1998) O'Donnell states that the first group or that of the chemical, pharmaceutical and electronic machinery are such that "experienced continuous expansion, rapid export growth, throughout the period of EC/EU membership
Noel Palmer entitled "Macroeconomic Aspects of the Irish Economy" reports that the instruments of macroeconomic policy are those which are available to governments that are economically independent and are of the nature that help in gaining the macroeconomic objectives which include: (1) monetary policy or the control of interest rates and the supply of money; (2) exchange rate policy or the change or allowing of change to the foreign exchange value of Irish currency; and (3) fiscal policy or any conscious action by the government which affects the magnitude, structure, or timing of government revenue (taxation) or expenditure. (Palmer, nd) Ireland, a member of the European Central Bank has no discretion to pursue economic policies that are independent in nature and additionally reported is that Ireland is now a member of the Euro zone and monetary policy for the Euro zone is set by the EBC
