Monetary Policy v. Fiscal Policy
• Both terms have to do with money but have very different definitions.
![Page 3: THE BUDGET](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051418/568151fd550346895dc0385c/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Monetary Policy
• Is the economic philosophy of banking, interest rates, and the circulation of money
• It can be expansionary (put more $ in circulation at a MUCH faster pace) or it can be contractionary (put more $ in circulation at a slower pace)
• Activities such as printing more money and/or lowering interest rates can influence the economy.

The FED – Federal Reserve Bank
• America’s central banking system• 12 Federal Reserve banks nationwide• Controls the $ in circulation• Controls interest rates, which then impact
savings accounts, mortgages, credit cards and indirectly, the stock market
• We borrow $ from banks; banks borrow $ from the Fed; Fed also loans to foreign nations
• Therefore, the Fed can create or print, then loans money into existence.

federal budget on the economy--for example- taxes, spending and borrowing--so in talking about the budget process, we are talking about making
fiscal policy

• The President will give the OMB his guidelines for the budget.

Congress• The Budget Committees in the House &
Senate receive the budget & study it.• Each committee makes a
recommendation to their chamber by early May and this recommendation becomes the – Budget Resolution
The Budget Resolution is a goal--NOT binding!! It can change!

• During the summer, each chamber passes 13 appropriations bills.
• Pass a law to authorize the creation of a program, then pass another to appropriate $ to fund the program>

•After the House and Senate agree on the appropriations bills and pass them, the President signs them (and we all faint!:)

•Once Congress passes a budget, each chamber usually has to pass a budget reconciliation resolution
![Page 14: THE BUDGET](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051418/568151fd550346895dc0385c/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
• A budget reconciliation resolution resolves the differences between what the House or Senate meant to spend --budget resolution--and what they actually spent!!

The Fiscal Year
• The fiscal year for the national gov’t is from Oct. 1-Sept. 30. (KY – July 1 to June 30)
• IF Congress & the President can’t get the budget completed on time, Congress can pass a continuing resolution. This will continue to fund the gov’t at last year’s level.
![Page 16: THE BUDGET](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051418/568151fd550346895dc0385c/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
• If Congress doesn’t pass a continuing resolution or the President doesn’t sign it, the national gov’t shuts down until a budget or a continuing resolution can be passed!
• We have not passed a new budget in over 1300 days. The government is being funded based upon 2009 figures.
