Solution
One significant element of total demand is public spending. Government spending must be cut in order to keep inflation under control. Nonetheless, a portion of government spending is necessary and cannot be cut. The government should therefore cut back on wasteful spending, which is somewhat unnecessary. For instance, less money should be spent on defence and pointless projects.
