Use the following information to answer the next 3 questions.
Suppose we are in a short run equilibrium where IS=LM at some point A. A new presidential candidate has recently been elected and one of their campaign promises was to drastically decrease wasteful government spending and to never decrease taxes.
1. Draw the effect of a decrease in government spending in the IS-LM model. Upload a picture of your graph.
2. What happens to equilibrium output and the equilibrium interest rate?
3. Is it possible to decrease G but to maintain the same equilibrium output in the economy before the spending cuts? If so, how? (Drawing a picture might be very helpful). Upload a picture of your graph with an explanation.
