hi i need help on some questions for economics. these are based on todays economy. thanks i really need help and ive been trying to figure it out. i really appreciate your help 
1. In talking about whether they support a new stimulus bill, new members of Congress will need an overview of the causes of economic recessions and recoveries. Could you set the stage by defining recession and recovery? When did this one start and end, and what, if anything makes this cycle different from others?

2. When did the recovery start? What “story” are the economic indicators telling us right now? Focus on unemployment, inflation, and growth, but fill in details with other relevant indicators.
3. There is some debate on the economics of fiscal stimulus itself. Some say that fiscal stimulus won't or can't work, and some say it will result in higher growth in the short term. Could you provide some analysis on this debate?
4. Let's temporarily assume that fiscal stimulus will have an impact on the real economy. If we implement expansionary fiscal policy, how is it supposed to affect the economy? Many policy analysts talk about a “multiplier effect.” What is this and how does it contribute to the debate?
