1. How did U.S. government responded to global health pandemic? What kind of steps have they taken?  How did Federal Reserve responded to the recent health pandemic? Where is the Fed Funds rate as of today? Are there any other steps that can be taken by the government in terms of fiscal policies? Please elaborate.

Describe some fiscal policies that governments are presently using to counter the impact of coronavirus on an economy. Discuss if these policies are more, or less likely, to deliver long-term social equity. Could these policies be used to create more social security/welfare; discuss and compare any negative consequences that these policies could have on an economy and critique the various ways the government could minimise or remove such negative consequences?

Some economists argue for the use of fiscal policy to solveeconomic problems; others argue against it. What are someof the arguments on both sides?

What is your take on the amount of money politicians spend on political campaigns? Does it have a positive/negative impact on the economy?
