A brief intro into how the US economy works!

Monetary Policy vs. Fiscal Policy

Monetary policy and fiscal policy refer to the two most widely recognized tools used to
influence a nation's economic activity.
Monetary policy is primarily concerned with the management of interest rates and the
total supply of money in circulation and is generally carried out by central banks, such as
the U.S. Federal Reserve.
Fiscal policy is a collective term for the taxing and spending actions of governments. In the
United States, the national fiscal policy is determined by the executive and legislative
branches of the government.

Republicans vs. Democrats on Taxes

Democrats raise taxes to fund social programs, and Republicans lower taxes to benefit big
businesses and the wealthy. Both ideas oversimplify the policy of each party, yet both ideas
are essentially true.
