We have selected quotes to put in the presentation. We decided where to put them and who should say which one. We will continue working on making any corrections in the PowerPoint and taking out information that is not needed in the PowerPoint.

July 16th

Today we decided to put quotes into the presentation. We finally decided on what quotes to use and we are putting them on the divider pages in the PowerPoint.

Unemployment Quote - Justin will say.
"We believe that if men have the talent to invent new machines that put men out of work, they have the talent to put those men back to work."
-JFK

Solution Quote - I will say.
"It isn't that they can't see the solution, it's that they can't see the problem."
-G.K. Chesterson

Production Quote - Kristine will say.
"Consumption is the sole end and purpose of all production."
-Adam Smith

Inflation Quote - Sawyer will say.
"Inflation is when you pay fifteen dollars for the ten dollar hair cut you used to get for five dollars when you had hair."
-Sam Ewing


and we also have a pretty sweet video at the end of our presentation.

and now all we have to worry about is presenting it. :)

July 16th Progress

Today we chose 4 quotes to be said by other members of the group on the divider pages on our PowerPoint Presentation. I think this will be effective as we have some pretty good quotes that we have uncovered. I will be saying the quote that will be said during the inflation slide. We will not be putting the quotes directly on the slide, they will just be said. Tomorrow we will be deleting things off of the slide to make it more outliney.

July 15th

Today we talked about how to improve our PowerPoint to make it more fun and interesting. We came up with an idea to insert quotes from people. Here are a couple I found that might work somewhere.

"Governments view of the economy could be summed up in a few short phrases: If it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving, regulate it. And if it stops moving, subsidise it."
-Ronald Reagan

"The Great Depression, like most other periods of severe unemployment, was produced by government mismanagement rather than by any inherent instability of the private economy."
-Milton Friedman

"Inflation is as violent as a mugger, as frightening as an armed robber, and as deadly as a hit man"
-Ronald Reagan

"I don't mind going back to Daylight Saving Time. With inflation, the hour will be the only thing I've saved all year."
-Victor Borge

"If all the time consumed in attending dinners and luncheons was consumed in some work, the production of this country would be doubled."
-Will Roger

"The production of too many useful things results in too many useless people."
-Karl Marx

"Inflation is when you pay fifteen dollars for the ten dollar hair cut you used to get for five dollars when you had hair."

That's all. =]

Famous Quotes or Just Quotes for PowerPoint

Here is a list of quotes that could be incorporated into our PowerPoint:

1. By Warren Buffett-"In the business world, the rear view mirror is always clearer than the windshield."

2. By Kim Hubbard-"It is pretty hard to tell what does bring happiness, poverty and wealth have both failed"

3. By Ogden Nash-"People who work sitting down get paid more than those who work standing up"

4. By Chester Bowles "There can be no real individual freedom in the presence of economic insecurity"

5. By Richard Feynman "There are 100,000,000,000 stars in the galaxy. That used to be a huge number. But it's only a hundred billion. It's less then the national deficit! We used to call them astrological numbers. Now we should call them economical numbers"

I think these might be able to be incorporated somewhere into the presentation. The website I got them from is http://www.quotationspage.com/subjects/

We have been discussing how to make our presentation more entertaining. We have come up with a few ideas that we will try ti incorporate into our presentation. We are considering adding quotes. We discussed ways to make the presentation run smoother and appear more professional.
