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.

Sometimes government intervention may be necessary, but only as a last resort
@7YFGPVT5yrs5Y
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.
@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

No, but allow tax breaks for median and low income citizens.
