Economic Proposition
In English Lesson for Life
Choice Because you can't have
everything you want, you have to make choices
from a list of alternatives.
When policy-makers decide on a particular resource allocation, recognize that a choice had to be made due to scarcity. You may not like the alternative chosen, you may question the choice, but the villain is scarcity.

Economic Proposition
In English Lesson for Life
Trade-offs Choices involve giving up
something to get something. All choices have
consequences, both positive and negative.
You are responsible for the
consequences of your choices. Since you make choices,
you can't be a victim.

Opportunity Cost
What is given up when a
choice is made.
All choices have opportunity costs.
A good idea is only a good idea if its value is greater than the value of its opportunity
cost. Voters must always identify the opportunity cost of a particular policy.
