THIS IN TURN LEADS TO CROWDING OUT OF PRIVATE SECTOR INVESTMENT IN THE ECONOMY. HIGHER INTEREST RATES, IN TURN LOWERS THE PRIVATE SECTOR INVESTMENT AND CONSUMPTION LEVELS. IN MANY ECONOMIC HISTORY CASES, WE HAVE SEEN GOVERNMENTS RESORTING TO PRINTING PRESS TO MANAGE THEIR DEFICITS LEADING TO HYPERINFLATION AS SEEN IN CASES OF GERMANY, HUNGARY AND ZIMBABWE. 26

    The budget deficit is the excess of expenditure incurred by an economy over the incomes generated by it (Gwartney, Stroup, Sobel, Macpherson p.221). In order to ensure that the budget deficit is financed, the government has to ensure it has extra funds available with it. The government, also works out the methods in which, it asks for loans to other countries around the world. By borrowing from other countries and loaning out money to other countries, this now becomes part of our national debt and surplus (Gwartney, Stroup, Sobel, Macpherson p.221). However, Budget deficits do increase aggregated demand as the government has increased in the supply of money to a certain…

    The main worry about deficits is crowding out. Crowding in was just described ?€" it occurs when deficits cause output to go up and business confidence is increased. Crowding out comes about when deficit spending raises interest rates. There is a limited amount of funds available for investment, and when government competes with the private sector for a share of these funds to finance its deficit spending, it drives the cost of these funds ?€" interest rates ?€" higher. The increase in the interest rates causes investment to fall, and lower investment translates into lower output and lower economic growth. In addition, to the extent that the private sector is more efficient than the public sector, crowding out, i.e. more government spending and less private investment, can result in a less efficient use of resources (though in the case of public goods government can be the more efficient provider, and hence it is not always the case that efficiency falls).…

    A government budget deficit occurs when the governments expenses exceeds its revenues. Because of this spending the government has to find alternatives to finance this added expense through borrowing. A government deficit in the long-run can reduce savings, growth, and income. In the short-run if the economy is performing below its output potential deficits are good because it increases expenditures moving output closer to potential. Two periods in recent history when the U.S. was running on a deficit were 2000-2008 and 2008-present. Within the two time periods the country went to war adding roughly $1.1 trillion to the national debt we also had a significant tax cut that also added to the debt by $2 trillion. There also was a recession that caused the unemployment rates to go up increasing the government spending to cover unemployment insurance. The financial crisis of 2007-2008 was also played an important part in deficits. During this time there was a threat of collapse of large financial institutions and decline in the stock market Dow Jones lost 33.8% of its value in 2008. The housing and auto industries suffered many companies that relied heavily on credit also suffered. Banks simply stopped trusting people to pay them back so they stopped making loans that most businesses needed to regulate their cash flows. Unfortunately this recession was not only felt in the U.S. but it also had a damaging affect too many foreign…

    Answer: A budget deficit occurs when the government spending exceeds government revenue in a given time period, usually one year. Budget deficits are financed by a country's bonds. In the U.S., it's financed by Treasury bills, notes and bonds. This is the government's way of printing money. Actually, it is creating more credit denominated in that country's currency. However, it has the same effect -- it lowers the value of that country's currency. As bonds flood the market, the supply outweighs the demand. The Keynesians believe that when aggregated demand exceeds productive capacity of the economy, the federal government can prevent inflationary overheating by reducing demand with a budget surplus generated by a combination of less spending and higher taxes.…

    Fiscal policies changes the level and composition of taxation and government spending. Contractionary fiscal policy was in effect due to this crisis because it slow down economic growth when inflation is growing rapidly. To fix this the President submits a budget to Congress that sets the tone for the coming year 's fiscal policy by outlining how much money the government should spend on public needs, such as defense and health care; how much the government should take in in tax revenues; and how much of a deficit, or surplus, is projected. Congress then reviews…

    In most cases a government or an individual won’t have many savings built up during a deficit period, this leads to a crisis when there is an emergency and there is no money saved up to spend on such emergencies. So to pay for the emergencies that do happen, we have to borrow from other countries or as an individual borrow from another entity, which leads to excessive debt and higher interest rates. Another disadvantage would be the rising costs…

Fiscal policy also has limits on it as it requires the lender to believe that the government will be able to pay it back. Monetary policy does not result in that though the fluctuating interest rates will affect borrowers and lenders…
