What is the "right" amount of government spending to "fix" a problem? Where ought government not be active in the economy?
When there is a problem of "deficit demand",i.e. when aggregate demand is less than the aggregate supply then government should create demand by spending amount equal to the difference between the aggregate demand and aggregate supply. This would increase the demand and equilibrium could be attained because of which full employment situation could be maintained, otherwise unemployment could take place due to deficient demand.
Government should not intervene when equilibrium is maintained by the market forces of demand and supply, by the way of market mechanism.
Market mechanism creates equilibrium by pushing Demand curve and the supply curve towards the equilibrium with the gradual changes in prices and quantities.

The government of an economy has increased its spending and taxes by the same amount. What is the effect on investment?
Does the amount of government spending in an economy respond directly to changes in aggregate income, wealth, or interest rates? Does it respond indirectly to changes in these variables?
(11) The amount by which annual government spending exceeds annual government tax revenue is called the deficit. the debt. the dividend. M1. (12) Suppose a law was passed to authorize more spending on roads, but several months later the first dollar had not been spent. This delay is an example of a(n) recognition lag. political lag. administration lag. operational lag. (13) Which of the following is an example of an unintended effect of fiscal...
(1) Calculate the government spending multiplier if, an increase in government spending by $5 million increases real GDP by $20 million. Group of answer choices 0.20 0.25 2 5 4 (2) A major benefit of automatic stabilizers is that they: Group of answer choices guarantee a balanced budget over the course of the business cycle. have a tendency to reduce the national debt. moderate the effect of fluctuations in the business cycle. require legislative review by Congress before they can...
The aggregate supply curve will shift to the right when: A: government spending increases B: the capital stock of the economy decreases C: the nominal wage rate increases D: energy prices fall. I am thinking the answer is D--is this correct? B and C are leftward shifts, and I believe A affects Aggregate Demand rather than Aggregate Supply.

Suppose a government decides to reduce spending and (lump-sum) income taxes by the same amount. Using the long-run model of the economy, graphically illustrate the impact of the equal reductions in spending and taxes. Be sure to label: i. the axes; ii. the curves; iii. the initial equilibrium values; iv. The direction the curves shift; and v. the terminal equilibrium values. b. State in words what happens to: i. the real interest rate; ii. national saving; iii. investment; iv. consumption;...
