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.

Continue to provide welfare for those who need it, and only provide economic stimulus in ways that will ultimately not increase our national debt.
@8Q6C4Y44yrs4Y
Sometimes government intervention may be necessary, but only as a last resort
@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.
@dandyman4yrs4Y
Yes, but in the form of stimulus checks to all citizens
@5ZHZMH64yrs4Y
Yes, but individual's who are in need should apply for the stimulus. It shouldn't just be given to everyone.
@8CN7P7L3yrs3Y
No, there is not enough money to do so. If we print out more money inflation will go up and the American dollar will devalue.
@shaleel@2674yrs4Y
Yes, but in the form of increased spending by federal agencies
@8GKXVXV4yrs4Y
No, but allow tax breaks for median and low income citizens.
