Aggregate demand is total spending in the economy, and the federal budget is a direct lever on it. Government spending and taxation add to or subtract from AD — the core of demand-side management. This is the real knowscape from knowhere, not a picture of one. Drag it. Watch what actually changes.
Every policy here is one lever aimed at one target — demand, prices, inequality, the environment — and every lever has a lag, a limit, and a side effect it can't escape. The exam never asks what a policy does; it asks what it trades away to do it.
The floor is flat and quiet — spending is low, the crowd barely moving.
You lift the tempo: looser policy pushes demand up and the crowd surges.
Overheating, so you ease back — the beat settles into a sustainable groove.
