Question: Research and address the following points:

• Make an assessment as to whether any of the collaborative models - such as the mega-community model or Friedman's CSR approach offer hope for a better solution and a better future for the current annual budget deficit in the US. Briefly describe the approach you think may be relevant and how you think it might be utilized. Also provide your assessment of how globalization will influence any solution you might offer. Finally, describe the kind of power/influence that will be required for your solution to be successfully implemented.

• Identify a solution that the business community appears to favor for the current annual budget deficit in the US. For example, in the area of health care, the business community may prefer a policy that permits more flexibility in determining levels of participation. Try to find an example of a private sector solution and briefly describe the kinds of policy preferences this would result in. And answer the question - why does government oppose this?
