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 2016 Justin Trudeau proposed a stimulus package which he claims will raise GDP by 0.5 per cent and create 100,000 jobs.

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
@9C4XQMM11mos11MO
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.
