Do you think the United States' government makes too many economic decisions in the economy currently, too few decisions, or approximately the right amount of decisions? Explain your answer and provide specific examples as well additional commentary aside from your topic sentence.

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

I think the United States' government makes too many economic decisions in the economy currently, due to the terrible pandemic situations that have forced federal and state governments to order extreme measures such as the lockdown.

This decision has had many consequences and has directly impacted most US businesses around the country. Many people lost their jobs, restaurants closed, some companies, run out of business, and poor people demanded medical attention.

This has made the federal government give some financial aid to support the Amerian people.

Out of this complicated scenario, the US government had been keeping a regular distance in the economy. Practically no intervention in the economy, trying to create the proper conditions to open new jobs.

union blockade

explanation:

the union blockade in the american civil war was a naval strategy by the united states to prevent the confederacy from trading.

the blockade was proclaimed by president abraham lincoln in april 1861, and required the monitoring of 3,500 miles (5,600 km) of atlantic and gulf coastline, including 12 major ports, notably new orleans and mobile. those blockade runners fast enough to evade the union navy could only carry a small fraction of the supplies needed. they were operated largely by british citizens, making use of neutral ports such as havana, nassau and bermuda. the union commissioned around 500 ships, which destroyed or captured about 1,500 blockade runners over the course of the war.
