During recessions there should be tax breaks for low income individuals and sectors heavily affected by the recession, but the government should also reduce spending excess.

Yes, we can do more than 1 thing at a time, we can collectivize industry that has collapsed from the private sector, turn it around to become profitable and fund social programs but also as a right away thing protect thousands of jobs. tax breaks, spending more repairing infrastructure to attract businesses, assisting other failing sectors with wage subsidies and mortgage/rent freezing/coverage. theres a lot we can and should do to stop the awful symptoms of recession.

Yes, to reasonably sustainable amounts that do not cause excessive increases in the national debt. This should also be coupled with paying down the debt during good times.

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

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.
