Use of the words fiscal policy to describe opinions on the federal reserve instead of monetary policy

Hi all,

First timer here. Maybe nitpicking but in macro-economic courses that I took (Econ and math major) I was taught that the federal reserve's interest rate manipulation, open-market operations etc. were examples of monetary policy, not fiscal policy. I understand fiscal policy to be more the tool of congress i.e. changing taxes or spending money to stimulate the economy. I believe articles on fiscal vs monetary policy should support this.

This is in one of the first paragraphs in the introduction section, which I guess I can't edit. Language would be much more precise if it were to be changed imho. 2601:586:5280:EEB0:303D:85BB:6EF8:B46E (talk) 05:32, 25 May 2023 (UTC)

{{u|Sthubertliege}} asserts that the "excited and happy" portrait to the right is "ridiculous", and that we have to respect the consensus for the "grim and determined" portrait. Where is this consensus? I don't have a really strong preference for either but I don't really agree that the "happy" one is ridiculous. Trovatore (talk) 22:49, 13 May 2025 (UTC)
