For an imaginary closed economy, T = $5,000; S = $11,000; C = $50,000; and the government is running a budget deficit of $1,000. Then

private saving = $12,000 and GDP = $67,000.

A larger budget deficit

raises the interest rate and reduces investment.

If Congress instituted an investment tax credit, the interest rate would

rise and saving would rise.

The supply of loanable funds would shift to the right if either

tax reforms encouraged greater saving or the budget deficit became smaller.
