Would an increase in taxes be a change in the government's fiscal policy?

Yes, an increase in taxes would be considered a change in the government's fiscal policy. Fiscal policy involves government decisions on taxation and spending to influence the economy. By raising taxes, the government can affect overall demand, potentially slowing economic growth or addressing budget deficits. This adjustment is part of the broader strategy to manage economic conditions.


How did the Kennedy and Johnson administrations lead to economic problems in the US?

As the 1960's in the US unfolded, both President Kennedy and even more so President Johnson were willing to increase military expenditures overseas, and not only in Vietnam. Those expenses and both administration's desire to increase domestic programs without raising taxes paved the way for inflation later on. Year after year of government deficits lead to soaring prices and the lack of growth in US domestic industries. This in turn led to larger balance of payment deficits.

What fiscal deficit?

When a government's total expenditures exceed the revenue that it generates (excluding money from borrowings). Deficit differs from debt, which is an accumulation of yearly deficits. A fiscal deficit is regarded by some as a positive economic event. For example, economist John Maynard Keynes believed that deficits help countries climb out of economic recession. On the other hand, fiscal conservatives feel that governments should avoid deficits in favor of a balanced budget policy.
