Explanation / Answer

Real gdp and inflation rate

In 2014 real gdp is less than potential gdp. Therefore congress undertake expansionary fiscal policy which increases aggregate demand. Increase in demand leads to increase in real gdp and price level.

Thus real gdp and inflation rate increase with congress and president's action.
