Answer to Question 1

If inflation is the major issue, the correct fiscal policy response would be to increase taxes, decrease government purchases, and/or decrease transfer payments in order to reduce aggregate demand putting downward pressure on prices. However, these actions would not be popular with voters making elected officials unlikely to support them.
