the economy never really balances out, it just fluctuates. many economists these days think discretionary monetary policy is an acceptable means for the government to control the economy, and some fiscal policy is also helpful (things like transfer payments (e.g. welfare) and progressive taxes help stabilize the economy), but discretionary tax rate or spending changes aren't usually a great idea to help the economy along because of policy lag and how difficult and slow it is to make changes to fiscal policy
