3-6-3 RULE: An informal rule of operation of savings and loan associations in the 1950s and 1960s in which a 3 percent interest was paid on savings accounts, a 6 percent interest was charged for mortgage loans, and the president was playing golf by 3:00 o'clock in the afternoon. This informal rule is used to indicate that the savings and loan industry during this period was far removed from the high-stressed financial markets that characterize modern banking.

The government sector has three alternative tools in the use of fiscal policy--government purchases, taxes, and transfer payments. An alternative to fiscal policy is monetary policy.
