Explanation:

Discretionary fiscal policies are deliberate steps taken by the government to stimulate the economy in order to cause the economy to move to full employment and price stability more quickly than it might otherwise.

Discretionary fiscal policies can either be expansionary or contractionary

Expansionary fiscal policy is when the government increases the money supply in the economy either by increasing spending or cutting taxes.

If taxes are cut, disposable income increases and demand increases. this is an example of demand side

On the other hand, if a replacement project is undertaken, the demand for labour increases. this is an example of supply side

Contractionary fiscal policies is when the government reduces the money supply in the economy either by reducing spending or increasing taxes
