Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each action based on Fiscal Policy (Congress/President, involving taxes/spending) and Monetary Policy (Federal Reserve, involving interest rates, money supply, etc.):

Fiscal Policy (Congress & President)

• Giving away stimulus checks during the Pandemic to help people: Fiscal policy (government spending).
• Approving a nationwide tax rebate: Fiscal policy (taxes).
• Creating a bill increasing federal highway spending: Fiscal policy (government spending).

Monetary Policy (Federal Reserve)

• Raising interest rates to reduce inflation: Monetary policy (Fed controls interest rates).
• Monitoring the health of the job market: Federal Reserve monitors economic indicators (part of monetary policy oversight).
• Making loans cheaper to stimulate growth: Monetary policy (Fed can influence loan costs via rates/money supply).

Final Sorting:

Fiscal Policy (Congress & President)	Monetary Policy (Federal Reserve)
Approving a nationwide tax rebate	Monitoring the health of the job market
Creating a bill increasing federal highway spending	Making loans cheaper to stimulate growth
