The government uses both fiscal and monetary policy to stimulate the economy (get it growing) and also to slow the rate of growth down when it gets overheated. With fiscal policy the government influences the economy by changing how the government collects and spends money. The most common tools that the government enacts to effect fiscal policy include:• Increased Spending on new government programs and initiatives (such as job creation programs). This has the effect of increasing demand for labor and can result in lower unemployment levels• Automatic Fiscal Programs are programs that take effect immediately to help correct the slide in the economy. Probably the single best example of this is unemployment insurance which a person can file for as soon as they lose their job.• Tax Cuts are another tool that government uses to stimulate demand for goods and services when the economy takes a turn for the worse. The effect of a tax break is to put more money back in the pockets of businesses and consumers which they can spend and put back to work in the economy.Monetary Policy, on the other hand, involves the manipulation of the available money supply within the economy. In the United States, the role of manipulating the money supply falls to the Fed or the central bank in the US. Not only does the Fed have overall responsibility for the country's monetary policy, but it also has responsibility for issuing currency and overseeing bank operations. An increasing money supply puts more money in the hands of consumers which they turn around and spend - a decreasing money supply does just the opposite.In order to increase or decrease the money supply, the Fed has four principal levers which it pulls to try and effect change. The first thing that the Fed can do is to alter the reserve ratio which is the percentage of assets that commercial banks have to keep on deposit at one of the Federal Reserve Banks - the higher the reserve ratio, the less money that banks can lend out to the general public.Another way the Fed can control the money supply is by adjusting the federal funds rate (fed funds rate). The federal funds rate is a short-term borrowing rate that banks have established amongst themselves for short-term borrowing. Another way the Fed can adjust the money supply is by raising or lowering the discount rate which is the rate at which commercial banks can borrow money from the Fed. The higher the rate (or interest charged on the loan), the less inclined commercial banks are to borrow and a smaller amount of money will be available in the market. And lastly, the Fed can buy and sell government bonds. The buying of bonds translates into income for the US government, which can in turn put more money into the economy.i
