• C) The government spending creates a demand for domestically produced goods and services which in turn increases income and higher incomes will lead to increased consumption.
• D) The initial change in government spending creates a supply of jobs and stimulates production of domestically produced goods and services. The resulting increases in wages and investment demand leads to increased real GDP.
