​analyze Economic policy using the policy framework from lesson 4 reading

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. (See lesson 4.) Consider effectiveness, efficiency, ethics, equity, political feasibility, social/cultural feasibility, etc.
