Budget Surpluses (Revenues Exceed Expenses)

Key Takeaways

The U.S. government uses two types of policies – monetary policy and fiscal policy – to influence economic performance. Both have the same purpose: to help the economy achieve growth, full employment, and price stability.
Monetary policy is used to control the money supply and interest rates.
It's exercised through an independent government agency called the Federal Reserve System ("the Fed"), which has the power to control the money supply and interest rates.
When the Fed believes that inflation is a problem, it will use contractionary policy to decrease the money supply and raise interest rates. To counter a recession, it will use expansionary policy to increase the money supply and reduce interest rates.
Fiscal policy uses the government's power to spend and tax.
When the country is in a recession, the government will increase spending, reduce taxes, or do both to expand the economy.
When we're experiencing inflation, the government will decrease spending or increase taxes, or both.
When the government takes in more money in a given year (through taxes) than it spends, the result is a surplus.
When the opposite happens – government spends more money than it takes in – we have a deficit.
The cumulative sum of deficits is the national debt – the total amount of money owed by the federal government.
