UNITED STATES - ECONOMIC OVERVIEW
The US has the
largest and most technologically powerful economy in the world, with a per
capita GDP of $49,800. In this market-oriented economy, private individuals and
business firms make most of the decisions, and the federal and state
governments buy needed goods and services predominantly in the private
marketplace. US business firms enjoy greater flexibility than their
counterparts in Western Europe and Japan in decisions to expand capital plant,
to lay off surplus workers, and to develop new products. At the same time, they
face higher barriers to enter their rivals' home markets than foreign firms
face entering US markets. US firms are at or near the forefront in
technological advances, especially in computers and in medical, aerospace, and
military equipment; their advantage has narrowed since the end of World War II.
The onrush of technology largely explains the gradual development of a
"two-tier labor market" in which those at the bottom lack the
education and the professional/technical skills of those at the top and, more
and more, fail to get comparable pay raises, health insurance coverage, and
other benefits. Since 1975, practically all the gains in household income have
gone to the top 20% of households. Since 1996, dividends and capital gains have
grown faster than wages or any other category of after-tax income. Imported oil
accounts for nearly 55% of US consumption. Crude oil prices doubled between
2001 and 2006, the year home prices peaked; higher gasoline prices ate into
consumers' budgets and many individuals fell behind in their mortgage payments.
Oil prices climbed another 50% between 2006 and 2008, and bank foreclosures
more than doubled in the same period. Besides dampening the housing market,
soaring oil prices caused a drop in the value of the dollar and a deterioration
in the US merchandise trade deficit, which peaked at $840 billion in 2008. The
sub-prime mortgage crisis, falling home prices, investment bank failures, tight
credit, and the global economic downturn pushed the United States into a
recession by mid-2008. GDP contracted until the third quarter of 2009, making
this the deepest and longest downturn since the Great Depression. To help
stabilize financial markets, in October 2008 the US Congress established a $700
billion Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP). The government used some of these
funds to purchase equity in US banks and industrial corporations, much of which
had been returned to the government by early 2011. In January 2009 the US
Congress passed and President Barack OBAMA signed a bill providing an
additional $787 billion fiscal stimulus to be used over 10 years - two-thirds
on additional spending and one-third on tax cuts - to create jobs and to help
the economy recover. In 2010 and 2011, the federal budget deficit reached nearly
9% of GDP. In 2012 the federal government reduced the growth of spending and
the deficit shrank to 7.6% of GDP. Wars in Iraq and Afghanistan required major
shifts in national resources from civilian to military purposes and contributed
to the growth of the budget deficit and public debt. Through 2011, the direct
costs of the wars totaled nearly $900 billion, according to US government
figures. US revenues from taxes and other sources are lower, as a percentage of
GDP, than those of most other countries. In March 2010, President OBAMA signed
into law the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, a health insurance
reform that was designed to extend coverage to an additional 32 million
American citizens by 2016, through private health insurance for the general
population and Medicaid for the impoverished. Total spending on health care -
public plus private - rose from 9.0% of GDP in 1980 to 17.9% in 2010. In July
2010, the president signed the DODD-FRANK Wall Street Reform and Consumer
Protection Act, a law designed to promote financial stability by protecting
consumers from financial abuses, ending taxpayer bailouts of financial firms,
dealing with troubled banks that are "too big to fail," and improving
accountability and transparency in the financial system - in particular, by
requiring certain financial derivatives to be traded in markets that are
subject to government regulation and oversight. In December 2012, the Federal
Reserve Board (Fed) announced plans to purchase $85 billion per month of mortgage-backed
and Treasury securities in an effort to hold down long-term interest rates, and
to keep short term rates near zero until unemployment drops below 6.5% or
inflation rises above 2.5%. In late 2013, the Fed announced that it would begin
scaling back long-term bond purchases to $75 billion per month in January 2014
and reduce them further as conditions warranted; the Fed, however, would keep
short-term rates near zero so long as unemployment and inflation had not
crossed the previously stated thresholds. Long-term problems include stagnation
of wages for lower-income families, inadequate investment in deteriorating
infrastructure, rapidly rising medical and pension costs of an aging
population, energy shortages, and sizable current account and budget deficits.
