by Summary:
Simple stock-flow analogy using faucet, sink, and drain. Too simplistic, maybe, but it gets the fundamental point across. What this analogy focuses on is inflation and the sweet spot. But there is also not enough flow so that stock becomes low (deflation). The available policy space is between inflation and deflation. The sweet spot is optimal deployment of real sources including human resources (full employment). This would be difficult to impossible to hit using discretionary fiscal policy alone. The residual is handled with automatic stabilization and a guaranteed job opportunity that matches workers with work in their locale.
