Students analyze the economic and political impact of different fiscal policy strategies, they spply their selected fiscal policy goals, and they understand the implications of their policy choices on the national debt (USA: Econ Ed 2019).

These lessons focus on government institutions, programs, the Federal Reserve, Social Security, and events such as the Panic of 1893 (USA: EconEd 2020)

Students will be able to: Describe the immediate benefits of a fiscal stimulus when an economy is in a recession. They explain the long-term costs of a fiscal stimulus when an economy is in a recession. By comparing the immediate benefits to the long-term costs, students will decide if a fiscal stimulus is warranted during recessions (USA: EconEd 2021).

Just how unequal is the U.S. before taxes? How much does the tax code change that? David Wessel, Director of the Hutchins Center on Fiscal and Monetary Policy, explains (USA 2015).
