	tax cuts during recession and tax increases during   inflation.
	tax increases during recession and tax cuts during   inflation.
	tax cuts during recession and reductions in government   spending during inflation.

	depreciation of the dollar.

	neutral fiscal policy.
	low-interest-rate policy.
	expansionary fiscal policy.
	contractionary fiscal policy.
