Governments have a big toolbox to encourage economic growth. They can cut taxes, making it cheaper for businesses to operate and for people to spend more. They can also spend money directly on projects like roads and schools, which creates jobs and improves quality of life. Plus, they can make laws and regulations that make it easier for businesses to start and grow. Think of the government as a gardener, watering the plants and pulling out the weeds to help the garden thrive.
