expansion phase
Deficits can persist during the expansionary phase of the business cycle due to several factors, including ongoing high levels of government spending that outpace revenue growth, structural economic issues, and political decisions prioritizing short-term gains over long-term fiscal health. Additionally, tax cuts and increased entitlements can further exacerbate deficits, as governments may continue to borrow to finance these expenditures. Economic expansions can also lead to increased borrowing costs, as demand for credit rises. Ultimately, the combination of these elements can sustain deficits even in periods of economic growth.
The period of the business cycle that most businesses make the greatest increase in spending is the expansion period. This is usually called the expansionary fiscal policy.
The turning points of the cycle are called the peak, which is at the end of the expansion phase, and the trough, which is at the end of the contraction phase.
