Answer to Question 1

The Federal Reserve fights recessions by increasing the money supply to lower interest rates, which in turn increases spending. It is not that people will have more money to spend, but that interest rates will be lower, which stimulates spending.

Answer to Question 2

Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
