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

Many liberals support targeted tax breaks for low-income citizens as a form of economic stimulus during recessions. This approach can help to reduce income inequality and stimulate consumer spending, which can contribute to economic recovery. Examples include the Earned Income Tax Credit in the United States, which provides tax relief for low-income workers.

Yes, but in the form of increased spending on infrastructure

Many liberals support increased spending on infrastructure as a form of economic stimulus during recessions. Infrastructure projects can create jobs and stimulate economic growth, which can help to counteract the negative effects of a recession. Examples include the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, which included significant funding for infrastructure projects.

Strongly agree

Yes, but in the form of assisting sectors most heavily hit by the recession

Assisting sectors most heavily hit by the recession is a strategy that many liberals would support, as it can help to stabilize the economy and protect jobs. This approach was seen during the 2008 financial crisis when the U.S. government provided financial assistance to the automotive and financial industries.

Agree

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

Some liberals support tax breaks as a form of economic stimulus, although they may prefer targeted tax breaks for lower-income citizens or specific industries. Tax breaks can help to stimulate consumer spending and economic growth during a recession. However, this approach may not be as universally supported among liberals as other forms of stimulus.

Disagree

No, recession is a natural cycle that purges excess

While some liberals may acknowledge that recessions are a natural part of the economic cycle, they generally believe that government intervention can help mitigate the negative effects of a recession and promote a faster recovery. This view is opposed to the idea that recessions should be left to run their course without intervention.

Very strongly disagree

Yes, and collectivize all industry
