Answer to Question 1

Discretionary policy is an action that is initiated by an act of Congress such as implementation of a spending program or a change to tax law. Automatic fiscal policy is triggered by the state of economy and happens naturally such as a decrease in tax revenues as a result of a fall in incomes or an increase in unemployment payments due to an increase in the unemployment rate.
