Yes, but in the form of increased spending on infrastructure

Third Way ideology strongly supports increased spending on infrastructure during recessions, as it can create jobs, stimulate economic growth, and improve long-term productivity. This approach was evident in the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 under President Barack Obama, which included significant investments in infrastructure projects.

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

This approach can help stabilize the economy and protect jobs in vulnerable industries. For example, the US government's bailout of the auto industry during the 2008 financial crisis is consistent with Third Way principles.

Agree

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

Third Way ideology is open to the idea of tax breaks for low-income citizens during recessions, as it supports targeted measures to help the most vulnerable. However, it may prefer other forms of assistance, such as increased spending on infrastructure or targeted support for heavily hit sectors, which could have a broader impact on the economy.

Agree

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

No, recession is a natural cycle that purges excess

Strongly disagree

No, and the government should drastically reduce spending during recessions

Yes, and collectivize all industry
