Fiscal Policy
Activity Instructions
The U.S. Congress debates the new budget every fiscal year. Most Republicans want to reduce federal spending; most Democrats do not want to reduce spending and may, in some cases, seek to increase it. Choose a perspective, and in your post identify three reasons that the United States should, at present, seek to decrease or increase federal spending. In your rationale, be sure to reflect on the impact of government spending on GDP and national income. Draw on the readings from this unit (and other scholarly or journalistic sources, as appropriate) and units prior to support your assertions. Be sure to use APA format to cite sources.
Response Guidelines
Respond substantively to at least two other learners, agreeing or disagreeing with one of the three reasons given to support their perspective. Use the course readings and resources to support your responses and use proper APA format for your citations and references.
Important Note:For all the discussions in this course, post your initial discussion no later than 11:59 p.m. (Central Time Zone) Thursday. Support your post with the theories presented in the unit readings and resources, using proper APA formatted citations and references. Post your discussion responses no later than 11:59 p.m. (Central Time Zone) Sunday.
