An economic stimulus is a monetary or fiscal policy enacted by governments with the intent of stabilizing their economies during a fiscal crisis. The policies include an increase in government spending on infrastructure, tax cuts and lowering interest rates. In response to 2015's slowing economy, the Chinese government unleashed a wave of fiscal spending to fund investment in roads, railways, sewers and slum redevelopment.

No, but when deadly like 1930s is exception
Deleted3yrs3Y
Yes, but only by emphasizing tax breaks for all citizens and as a temporary measure to stabilize markets. Measures must be taken to ensure this only occurs during times of recession. However, the government should only focus on helping citizens mostly affected by the recession, not on those that caused it.
Deleted3yrs3Y
Yes, but only by emphasizing tax breaks for all citizens and as a temporary measure to stabilize markets. Once the recession is over, the government should curtail excess spending in order to reduce national debt. However, the government should only focus on helping citizens most affected by the recession, not on those that caused it.
Deleted3yrs3Y
Yes, but in the form of tax breaks for middle- and low-income citizens and assisting sectors most heavily hit by recession, as well as reduced government spending

Deleted3yrs3Y
Yes, but in the form of tax breaks for middle and low-income citizens, as well as reduction in government spending on unnecessary expenses.
Deleted3yrs3Y
Yes, but only by 1) emphasizing tax breaks for all citizens and 2) reduce spending on unnecessary expenses. The government should only focus on helping citizens who were most affected by the recession, not on those that caused it.
Deleted3yrs3Y
Yes, but only by 1) emphasizing tax breaks for all citizens and 2) reduce spending on unnecessary expenses. The government should only prioritize citizens who were most affected by the recession, not on those that caused it.
Deleted3yrs3Y
Yes, but only by a) emphasizing tax breaks for all citizens and b) reducing spending on unnecessary expenses in order to stabilize our economy. The government should only prioritize on those most affected by the recession, not those that caused it; it should also not make citizens reliant on the government once the recession is over.
Deleted3yrs3Y
Yes, but only by emphasizing tax breaks for all citizens and as a temporary measure until the markets have stabilized; measures must be taken to ensure this only occurs during times of recession. It should be used to help restart the economy; and once the recession is over, the government should curtail excess spending in order to reduce national debt.
However, the government should focus only by helping citizens most affected by the recession, not on those that caused it.

@558YLXV4yrs4Y
Yes, but in the form of stimulus checks to citizens; bailouts of industries encourages poor fiscal policies.
@3SXNRFF2yrs2Y
Yes, but only depending on the circumstances. In a recessionary environment with high inflation, stimulus may only exacerbate the problem.
@heatherdvdprincess3yrs3Y
Continue to provide welfare for those who need it, and only provide economic stimulus in ways that will ultimately not increase our national debt.
@5BMM5HX3yrs3Y
Yes, by directly helping the citizens directly not a trickle down.
@5BMX4XT3yrs3Y
Yes but for 18 months only
@5BMX4XT3yrs3Y
Yes but never for more than a year and only for individuals needing the most assistance.
@5643HNN4yrs4Y
Yes, by reducing spending, tax breaks for lower income citizens, and establish a Universal Basic Income
@593CCZ54yrs4Y
No, government stimulus is bad for the market and tax payer, especially when government causes said recessions and depressions i.e. the great depression and great recession. That was government failure and is just failed Keynesian economics that have only hurt people since Keynesian economics became the norm.
@8Q6C4Y44yrs4Y
Sometimes government intervention may be necessary, but only as a last resort
@3HS499C3yrs3Y
Yes but only for individuals of low income that make less than 40 thousand a year.
@92JXK3J2yrs2Y
Yes, stimulus and tax breaks.
@92JXK3J2yrs2Y
Stimulus exacerbates the problem. The poor must be given tax breaks, whilst the rich must have to pay a little bit higher taxes. Let the market correct itself over time. The government, besides using taxes, should only encourage people to work and correct recessions. Otherwise, it should sit back, correct misinformation, and let economists and the people handle recessions.
@8WPN6C23yrs3Y
Yes, but it should be restricted and for a small amount of money.
@92XBN653yrs3Y
yes they should but only one time don't issue it a bunch of times
@92YHQCV2yrs2Y
Yes, but in the form of A. tax breaks for low-income citizens, B. tax breaks for all citizens, C. increased spending on infrastructure, and/or D. assisting sectors most heavily hit by the recession. Plus, the government should try to intervene to boost a recovery.
@8VC2Q883yrs3Y
Yes, but discourage people from living solely on benefits.
@8QT5JBT4yrs4Y
only if there is a great need, much like this pandemic. and the money should actually go to people in need unlike what happened with this pandemic
@8R7SQ2V4yrs4Y
No, government stimulation is like steroids; It may help in the short term, but it will inevitably lead to problems later on due to, put simply, overexpansion. This is what caused the Great Depression, 2008, and nearly every other major recession.
@8H4DF7B4yrs4Y
Do a study on the efficiency and ethics and effects of each tax and apply accordingly.
@6PJZCMJ4yrs4Y
Yes, but in the form of providing employment opportunities (like the Civilian Conservation Corps).
@7YFGPVT4yrs4Y
Yes, direct assistance and possible tax breaks for low to lower middle income households. Direct and tax breaks for small business only.
Large companies and global corporations have the capital and should have the foresight to save and have their own safety net. The federal government need to adopt a hard policy of not providing fiscal support to large corporations, so it clear that those entities have to have their own contingency plan.
@DsInferno4yrs4Y
Yes, in the form of tax breaks for everyone except those in the highest tax bracket
@heatherdvdprincess4yrs4Y
No, but it should do it's best to help without using direct government power to do it. For example, they can have a competition to have the public crowdsource solutions.

No, unless it is in the form of tax breaks for all citizens

@6NLNK8C4yrs4Y
Yes, but quantitative easements must stop as they endanger our economy more than they help it.
@7BV3LB64yrs4Y
Yes, but only in the form of direct payments to Americans
@kgtiberius4yrs4Y
