6. Assume that Potential Real GDP equals $10,000. National Income is
therefore $10,000. Of this, consumers will pay $2,000 in taxes, save $1,000,
and spend $7,000 on consumer goods. Business Investment spending is
$2000. In order to avoid recessions and inflation (to have equilibrium), the
government should have a:
a. balanced budget
b. budget deficit of $1000
c. budget surplus of $1000
d. budget deficit of $2000
