Economics: Today we rolled out the budget project.  You received you life status for the project and you should begin to accumulate the information you need to be successful in the project.  We spent a lot of time getting the project off the ground today. Continue to think and strategize for a budget game plan.  The Banking Module was assigned yesterday.  Please be sure it is completed by the end of the week.  Due to our focus on the roll out of the budget project, we will begin Monetary and Fiscal Policy tomorrow.   Have fun with the budget project.  Regardless of your "lot" you will learn valuable lessons.  More tomorrow.
