How can the fiscal policies of a country influence individual finances?

 When the economy is tight with high unemployment and poor circulation of money 
policy can be changed to allow more government spending which stimulates 
employment and growth. 
During the great depression, congress wanted to cut spending to balance 
the budget. Nobody had any money to spend and the economy got worse. 
Finally FDR started some public work projects that got many people working. 
When people have jobs they spend money and that circulation is what 
has kept our country booming for mostly 70 years
