VERTICAL ADDITION: In graphical analysis, the technique of combining two curves by adding the value of the variable on the vertical or Y axis for a given value of the variable on the horizontal or X axis. This is commonly used for deriving the demand curve for a public good from a set of individual demand curves. The demand price that each individual buyer is willing to pay is added for a given quantity to identify the total benefits obtained.

GREEN LOGIGUIN
Your compete MICRO*scope for today
You are the type of person who votes for the best political candidate, regardless of party affiliation. Family and friends are tired of you using the phrases "on the one hand" and "other the other hand". Today, you are likely to spend a great deal of time waiting for visits from door-to-door solicitors hoping to buy either a New York Yankees baseball cap or a solid oak entertainment center. Be on the lookout for poorly written technical manuals. You should consider shopping at stores or businesses beginning with the letter M, but do not buy any products with a serial number or product code containing the number 722157. Your preferred shopping venue is strip malls. Your special symbol is the equal sign (=).
Is this You?
As a Green Logiguin, you seek a balance in life and your market activities. You are logical and reasonable, always seeking to weigh costs and benefits, pros and cons, ups and downs, ins and outs, goods and bads. You are the embodiment of yin and yang. You know that there are two sides to every story and every market exchange. Sometimes you buy. Sometimes you sell. You search out the best deals, with the highest quality and lowest price.
This isn't me! What am I?

Taming Our Beastly FEDERAL DEFICITIt's almost impossible to take a leisurely stroll around the economy without crashing headlong into the federal deficit. It doesn't take a microscope to see it bulging from the windows and doors of the Sylvester J. Peabody Federal Office Building as we pass by. It's a monstrous beast that seems to be growing by the minute. But is the federal deficit really as ghoulish and gruesome as drawn by political cartoonists? Should we make a detour of our pedestrian trek to avoid the beast? Considering it's size, is avoidance even possible. To answer these question, let's consider the pluses and minuses of our federal deficit.
