Answer to Question 1

Government programs like unemployment insurance and Social Security have helped to shorten recessions since they provide additional income to individuals who might not otherwise be able to continue consumption spending. Since the Great Depression the federal government has also become more actively committed to maintaining low unemployment, which may have reduced the severity of recessions and prolonged expansions.
