LOGROLLING: A systematic exchange of votes by politicians to obtain approval of specific legislation. That is, Senator Grapht agrees to vote for Senator Brybe's pet project if Senator Brybe votes for Senator Grapht's favorite piece of legislation. Such logrolling can be explicit or implicit. The explicit kind involves two separate bills, in which each politician is forced to "go on record" with a vote. The implicit kind, which many politicians favor, is where several separate programs are wrapped into a single bill. Every politician can then tell the folks back home that they really only wanted the "one thing" that helped their constituencies the most, but had to vote for "other things" as well. Logrolling is big reason our government is big and prone to inefficiency.

The aggregate expenditures equation is the sum of the four aggregate expenditures (consumption expenditures, investment expenditures, government purchases, and net exports). This equation provides a short-hand notion that summarizes the demand side of the economy.The general aggregate expenditures equation is: where: AE is aggregate expenditures, C is consumption expenditures, I is investment expenditures, G is government purchases, and X-M is net exports, exports (X) minus imports (M).This particular version of the aggregate expenditures equation is for all four macroeconomic sectors (household sector, business sector, government sector, and foreign sector). In some circumstances reduced versions, with fewer sectors, are more useful. A three-sector version that includes the household, business, and government sectors is: And the simplest aggregate expenditures equation is for the two private sectors--household and business. It is specified as:
