This "game" is stupid because it doesn't do anything at all to show the trade offs.

As a gross generalization:

Higher Growth -> Higher Employment -> Higher Inflation

High Inflation -> Negative Income Growth (for those on low wages and fixed incomes) -> Risk of Recession and/or Social Disruption

Lower Growth -> High Unemployment -> Risk of Recession and/or Social Disruption

Put those parameters in and the "game" gets interesting. At the moment it's just pointless.
