Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The correct answer is A because when the government decreases spending, the aggregate demand curve shifts to the left, causing the economy to move from Point A to Point D in the short run. In the long run, the economy will move to Point E as the price level adjusts and the economy returns to potential output.
