How do the instances when expansionary fiscal policy should be used compare with those for contractionary fiscal policy? Expansionary fiscal policy should be used during recessions to help build the economy and contractionary fiscal policy should be used when there is high inflation.

Expansionary fiscal policy should be used to combat high inflation and contractionary fiscal policy should be used to increase government revenue. Expansionary fiscal policy should be used to decrease the unemployment rate and contractionary fiscal policy should be used when economic growth is too fast.
Fiscal policy: Fiscal policy refers to the use of government spending and taxation to influence the economy. In the case of a severe negative supply shock, the government may increase spending to stimulate demand and offset the reduction in supply. For example, the government may invest in infrastructure projects to create jobs and boost economic growth. However, this may lead to an increase in government borrowing and higher interest rates, which can offset the benefits of the fiscal stimulus. show this graphically please.
