economics

Congress and the president reached an agreement on a budget plan to balance the federal budget during the summer of 1997. The "agreement," which President Clinton signed into law as the Taxpayer Relief Act of 1997 in August, included significant tax cuts and spending cuts. However, the budget cuts would primarily occur between 1999 and 2002, while the tax reductions were planned to go into effect right once. Therefore, in 1998, economists considered the package to be slightly expansionary. What would you anticipate to happen to interest rates if the Fed maintains the money supply (or the rate of growth of the money supply) constant if the outcome is an increase in the growth of real output/income?If the Fed wants to increase interest rates, what would it do? Suppose it wanted to bring down interest rates. Use graphs to illustrate.
