On Okinawa alone, the body count of Japanese came to 107,000 men and 11,000 prisoners of war. Another 25,000 men were apprently killed and sealed in caves. The Japanese had lost 7,800 aircraft in the concentrated attacks on the island and its environs or ten times as many as the Americans, but the American casualties in the taking of Okinawa alone had been heavy: about 75,000 officers and men.

So with this experience in the battle zone, it became all the more alluring to use the most expensive and most effective secret weapon of WW2...the Atom bomb.

Which of these actions of the Federal Reserve can slow economic growth?

elixir [45]

D) The Federal Reserve increases the discount rate, which causes interest rates to rise and people to save rather than to spend. This action by the Federal Reserve slows the economic growth.

Explanation:

The Federal Reserve is the “central bank" of the United States of America. The Federal Reserve System is responsible for the money supply. The federal government follows Fiscal Policy to control recessions and encourage economic activity.

The Federal Reserve System expands or contracts the money supply based on monetary policy. The spending of consumers is automatically reduced, when the government increases the taxes on the product. This led to increase in saving the money rather than spending.
