At what point did the President get the power to unilaterally raise and lower taxes and alter economic law and regulation?

In addition to the fiscal policy wielded by the government, as rubberneck pointed out the President can conceivably influence the Fed Chairman, who can sway the board to alter the money supply (interest rates, bond sales, etc.) to nudge the economy one way or the other.
