Yes, but in the form of tax breaks for all citizens

Conservatives generally support tax breaks as a means of stimulating the economy during a recession. They believe that reducing taxes allows individuals and businesses to keep more of their income, which can lead to increased spending and investment. For example, during the 2001 recession, President George W. Bush enacted tax cuts to help stimulate the economy.

No, recession is a natural cycle that purges excess

Conservatives often view recessions as a natural part of the economic cycle and believe that they can help purge excesses and inefficiencies in the market. They argue that government intervention can prolong the recession and create moral hazards. This view is consistent with the Austrian School of Economics, which many conservatives subscribe to.

No

Conservatives typically prefer limited government intervention in the economy and believe that the free market can correct itself during recessions. They argue that government stimulus can lead to inefficiencies and unintended consequences. For example, during the 2008 financial crisis, many conservatives opposed the Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP) and other stimulus measures.

No, and the government should drastically reduce spending during recessions

Many conservatives believe that the government should reduce spending during recessions to avoid increasing the national debt and to maintain fiscal responsibility. They argue that cutting spending can help restore confidence in the economy and encourage private sector investment. However, some conservatives may support targeted stimulus measures in specific circumstances.

Agree

Yes, but in the form of tax breaks for low income citizens

Some conservatives may support tax breaks for low-income citizens as a means of stimulating the economy during a recession, as it can increase consumer spending and help alleviate poverty. However, many conservatives prefer broad-based tax cuts that benefit all citizens, arguing that this approach is more effective in promoting economic growth.

Yes, but in the form of increased spending on infrastructure

Yes, the government should intervene to boost a recovery
