The Federal Reserve manages the amount of money in circulation by buying or selling U.S. Treasury securities, usually Treasury bills. The increase or decrease of money in circulation helps the Fed to control inflation or deflation. This has an effect on your disposable income. Research the Federal Reserve system and money supply, then answer the following questions. Under what conditions would the Fed choose to decrease the money supply, how would it do so, and what is the goal of doing so? How does the Fed factor inflation into its actions?
