Describe the status of cyclically adjusted budget

Assume the full-employment, non-inflationary level of real output is GDP3 (not GDP2). If the economy is operating at GDP2 instead of GDP3, describe the status of its cyclically adjusted budget? The status of its present fiscal policy? What change in fiscal policy would you suggested? How would you achieve that in terms of the G and T lines in the figure?

If full-employment GDP level was GDP3, then the standardize budget is contractionary as a surplus would present.  Even though the “actual” budget has no deficit at GDP2, fiscal policy is contractionary.  To move the economy to full-employment, government must cut taxes or enhance spending.  You would increase G line or lower T line or combination of each yet they intersect at GDP3.
