Should the government use economic stimulus to aid the country during times of recession?

Yes, but in the form of tax breaks for low income citizens; increased spending on infrastructure; and in the form of assisting sectors most heavily hit by the recession.

Collectivize failing industries, provide financial relief in the forms of debt forgiveness, tax breaks to the poor and middle income citizens and spending on infrastructure

Yes, and give tax breaks to those in the higher tax bracket as well since these citizens worked hard to climb the ladder and earn a better living for themselves. These folks will also be spending their earnings at local stores, which injects money back into the economy.

Yes with focus on self employed people.

No, government should lower personal and corporate taxes and reduce spending.

Yes, but, if a deficit is incurred the debt should be paid back during times of strong economic growth

No, the Government should just get out of the way of the private sector. In most cases.

Yes in the form of tax breaks for citizens and drastically reduced spending on foreign aid.

Yes, but avoid asset inflation by using fiscal stimulus, not monetary stimulus.

It depends on the different circumstances and what they call for. Not every economic recession or crisis can be solved the exact same way.

Tax breaks for all working people not just the poor. The working people are the ones keeping the country running.

Tax breaks for all working people.

Fiscally responsible spending and balanced budgets in periods of high economic growth gives governments the flexibility to increase spending on infrastructure while reducing taxes in times of recession.

Yes, but only for Canadian-born citizens and not immigrants.

The government should be making sure people who lost their jobs due to a recession get a basic income to pay for their food, water, electricity and shelter. Quick action needs to be taken to ensure the economy gets back on track but not at the cost of cutting government funding.

Yes and be helping in all areas of the economy

Yes, but in the form of tax break and subsidies

Yes, but with a mixture of assisting sectors hit the most by recession, tax breaks for low income citizens, and spending on infrastructure.

Yes but the government should use the Treasury Department to manage money and financial risks in banks

Yes. The best way to stimulate the economy is to raise the income of lower income individuals. A UBI at CERB levels (plus drug, dental) would stimulate the economy more than anything.

No, reckless spending worsens the economic downturn

Tax reform can prevent recessions

Yes, the government should intervene in order to boost a recovery. They should help in the form of assisting sectors most heavily hit by the recession, provide tax breaks for the poor and middle class, and by increased spending on infrastructure

Yes, the government should intervene with an economic stimulus

Yes, but give the stimulus only to people end not to business

Yes, but in the form of tax breaks for low income citizens while assisting sectors most heavily hit my the recession.

Ask an economist

Yes, but in the form of tax breaks for private sector workers ONLY.

Yes, but critical businesses that need to be saved should be nationalized instead of bailed out

Depends on how bad the situation

Government intervention could be helpful, but the government itself needs to spend less too. They should not rely on tax breaks and citizens to aid.

yes but for citizens, not bailouts for corporations

Yes, it is an investment in the overall well being of the country, and it citizens.

Yes, but not to bail out the banks, rather provide assistance to the people

I dont understand the question

Yes but to the ones who need it

Yes, but in the form of assisting sectors most heavily hit by the recession, by providing tax relief for low income citizens, by investing in infrastructure, and by the government intervening in order to boost a recovery

Yes, through increased spending on infrastructure and tax breaks for low income citizens

Yes, through increased spending on infrastructure, tax breaks for low income citizens, and assisting sectors most heavily hit by the recession

No, give citizens tax breaks

Yes, but only depending on the circumstances. In a recessionary environment with high inflation, stimulus may only exacerbate the problem.

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.

Yes, stimulus and tax breaks.

Yes and include more restricted groups, like legal dependent adults

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.

No, but when deadly like 1930s is exception.

The government should drastically reduce all taxation and public spending during recessions.

yes they should but only one time don't issue it a bunch of times
