GOVERNMENT'S ROLE IN THE ECONOMY
While consumers and producers obviously make most decisions that make the economy, government activities have at least four powerful effects on the US economy.
DIRECT SERVICES. Each level of government provides direct services. The postal system, for example, is a federal system serving the entire nation, as is the large military establishment. By contrast, the construction and maintenance of most highways is the responsibility of the individual state governments. The public education systems are primarily paid for by state, country or city governments. In general, police and fire protection are the responsibilities of local government.
ПРЯМЫЕ УСЛУГИ. Каждый уровень государственного управления предоставляет прямые услуги. Почтовая система, например, является как федеральной системой, обслуживающей всю нацию, так и крупным военным ведомством. В отличие от этого, строительство и техническое обслуживание большинства автомобильных дорог является обязанностью правительств отдельных штатов. Государственные системы образования в основном оплачиваются правительствами штатов, стран или городов. В целом, полиция и пожарная охрана являются обязанностями местных органов власти.
