Now that you have identified a government intervention and the market failure leading up to this intervention you are ready to continue moving forward.

Writea word summary of your analysis in which you address the following:

• Analyze the arguments for government intervention versus those for market-based solutions. Hint: See the information about market failures.
• Examine who has been helped and who has been hurt by the selected government intervention.
• Examine externalities and unintended consequences of the intervention.
• Explain whether the cost of the intervention you selected, as a share of GDP or the number of participants, is increasing, decreasing, or varying with the state of the economy. Your analysis should be based on the cost trend (or number of participants) since 2000 or since its inception if after 2000.
• Analyze credible economists' opinions on the success or failure of the intervention in achieving its objectives.
• Recommend whether the program should be continued as is, discontinued, or modified based on your conclusions. Defend your recommendation.
