Fiscal Policy
Fiscal policies can have both subtle and major effects on almost all organizations. The purpose of this assignment is to have you examine D.R. Horton regarding how it is affected by these economic variables and policies.
you are to place yourself in the position of being paid by lobbyist for D.R. Horton. Pick two or three fiscal policy initiatives you would lobby Congress about. However, this is not in general, this is your organization, not for the economy as a whole, so make sure to take that specific focus. Again, if you're using an unconventional organization, you may have to get creative in your explanations here.
1. As a lobbyist for D.R. Horton, what would you like to see done by the federal government that would be of help to your organization? As a lobbyist, it is not your job to be concerned with the deficit, or the environment, or the general health of the financial system (unless, of course, you are lobbying for an environmental, financial, or deficit reduction group). Your answer to this question can give an interesting perspective as to how lobbying can distort economic policy and decisions. CAUTION: I am not looking for general comments that could apply to the country as a whole or any given organization, what I want are comments that are relevant to D.R. Horton.
