Detailed explanation-2: -Keynes recognized that the government budget offered a powerful tool for influencing aggregate demand.

Detailed explanation-3: -The main plank of Keynes’s theory, which has come to bear his name, is the assertion that aggregate demand-measured as the sum of spending by households, businesses, and the government-is the most important driving force in an economy.
