Out of fears that the money supply is too large, the federal reserve has decided to decrease the money supply. how could the federal reserve accomplish this?

The money supply can be reduced by not continuing to print new bills. Banks could be asked not to distribute more than a set amount of money, thereby lessening the amount of money put into general circulation. Sellers could raise the price of their goods and services. When prices rise, people take a closer look at their goals and their disposable income. Cost of living usually results in more prudent spending, more savings, and less money in general circulation.
