Potentially massive. Let's say the government decides to make the prime rate 100%. Let's see how many people have jobs the next day. The gov't also decides tax rates.

The economy is not a dial that one can move back and forth. To vastly oversimplify a potential scenario of many: Keeping the economy going all the time can result in inflation. Too much inflation can cause your real cost of living to increase beyond your renumeration. Result: You ask for a raise.
