The monetary policy is kept on an even keel through this control. However, taxes and public spending (fiscal policy) is decided by representatives of the masses. The fiscal policy is well-known to experience frequent fluctuations as the public well knows, and fear and awe keeps them at bay, fearing to challenge this first and last bastion of "democratic" economic policies. Thus the government must watch the Gross Domestic Product and growth indicators, such as unemployment, and keep tight control of the Federal Bank's distributions and limitations set on interest. The monetary policy is the only thing the government really can control, "through the Central Bank's power to influence real variables such as interest rates and output levels" (Harris 15).
