A. calls for the federal government to run a deficit.

Explanation: During a recession, aggregate demand is low, and the economy needs a boost. Running a deficit means the government is spending more than it's taking in, which can help increase aggregate demand and stimulate economic growth. This is a classic Keynesian approach to fiscal policy.

Note: The other options are incorrect because:

* B. Running a surplus would mean the government is taking in more than it's spending, which would reduce aggregate demand and worsen the recession.
* C. Increasing taxes would reduce disposable income and decrease aggregate demand, making the recession worse.
* D. Decreasing government spending would also reduce aggregate demand and worsen the recession.

The appropriate fiscal policy during a recession aims to stimulate economic activity by increasing aggregate demand. This typically involves expansionary measures such as increased government spending, tax cuts, or both, which result in a budget deficit.

- **A** is correct because running a deficit injects money into the economy, boosting demand.
- **B** (surplus) is contractionary and unsuitable for a recession.
- **C** (increased taxes) would reduce disposable income, counteracting stimulus.
- **D** (decreased spending) would further depress demand.

During a recession, expansionary fiscal policy is often used. This typically involves increasing government spending and/or reducing taxes to stimulate economic growth and increase aggregate demand. Running a deficit (spending more than revenue) can be part of this effort to boost the economy. Option B is contractionary and not appropriate for a recession. Option C is incorrect as it combines both an increase in taxes (which is contractionary) and an increase in government spending. Option D is also contractionary as it involves reducing both government spending and taxes.

Explanation:
During a recession, the economy experiences a decline in output, employment, and income. To stimulate the economy and bring it back to full employment, expansionary fiscal policy is often recommended. Expansionary fiscal policy involves increasing government spending, cutting taxes, or both. These actions increase the aggregate demand in the economy, which can help to reduce unemployment and increase output.

Option A, "calls for the federal government to run a deficit," is correct because running a deficit typically involves increasing government spending or cutting taxes, both of which are expansionary fiscal policies that can help to stimulate the economy during a recession.

Option B, "calls for the federal government to run a surplus," is incorrect because running a surplus typically involves decreasing government spending or increasing taxes, both of which are contractionary fiscal policies that can slow down the economy, which is not appropriate during a recession.

Option C, "is increased taxes and government spending," is partially correct in terms of increasing government spending but incorrect in terms of increasing taxes. Increasing taxes during a recession can further reduce aggregate demand, which is not desirable.

Option D, "is decreased government spending and taxes," is incorrect because decreasing government spending is a contractionary policy that can slow down the economy. Cutting taxes without increasing government spending may not be enough to stimulate the economy during a recession, especially if the tax cuts are not targeted effectively.
