    Fiscal policy

    Beginning in the late 1980s, reducing the deficit became the predominant goal of fiscal policy.

Instead, officials argued, a lower deficit would reduce government borrowing and help bring down interest rates, making it easier for businesses to acquire capital to finance expansion.
