Our macroeconomic model suggests that after a decline in aggregate demand like that of 2007, the economy will self correct and return to a position where the GDP gap is zero.  If this is correct, why should the government ever intervene with fiscal policy?   a. It take many years  for the GDP gap to close on its own.   b. This is part of the government's "mission statement" as given in the Constitution.   c. Fiscal policy is profitable for banks.   d. People do not trust the theory behind the model.
