You believe that government intervention and fiscal policies can help stabilize the economy, reduce unemployment, and promote growth during economic downturns.
Keynesianism is a political and economic ideology that emerged from the works of the British economist John Maynard Keynes. It is primarily centered around the belief that government intervention is necessary to ensure economic stability and prevent recessions. Keynesianism was developed during the Great Depression in the 1930s, a period of severe economic downturn and high unemployment rates. Keynes argued that during such periods, consumer demand tends to decrease, leading to a decrease in production and further unemployment.
To counter this, Keynes proposed that the government sho…

Have you ever felt the government should do more to help people financially during tough economic periods, and why?
@9JHYSCPRepublican3mos3MO
I think that they should but also not give out free passes
@9JHYXMJWomen’s Equality3mos3MO
Yes, the government should help people because there are people who can end up without a home, food, or give be able to take care of their children.
Yes. People shouldn't starve because of a national pandemic. America is a raging dumpster fire that uses its people as the kindling
@9JHYX323mos3MO
yes, the government should be helping it's citizens
@ISIDEWITH4mos4MO
How would you want the government to assist small businesses during an economic downturn, and why do you think that's important?
@9JPXBNS3mos3MO
I think the government should supply resources as long as it does not cost the government too much money.
@9JSYMFS3mos3MO
Small business often go bankrupt and have to shut down because bigwigs like Walmart and Amazon have everything they are selling for cheaper- we should be supporting small businesses in everyday life because there's a higher chance of your product being made in the US or even by hand. Authenticism isn't valued anymore, and the government should fund/provide for them just like they do those big companies.
@9JPWZ653mos3MO
I think the government should give small businesses more funds because they should get an equal chance to have a good business and sometimes government interference is good.
@9JRLW723mos3MO
It provides a quantitative, objective, and persuasive platform on which to base an argument, prove a claim, or support an idea.
@9JPYRTX3mos3MO
Give them money so they can survive the hard times
@9JPXQMJ3mos3MO
I think that's essential to assist small business to allow a diverse landscape rather than corporate monopolization.
@ISIDEWITH2mos2MO
How do you envision government spending on public projects having a direct impact on your community's welfare?
@9L4QV7D2mos2MO
The government should spend money on things that help the majority of citizens and have a better understanding of how to help.
@9L4QSPB2mos2MO
I don't think there was a need to change the government spending. The economy should be able to work itself out even if some people struggle during the reformation.
@9L4QQQP2mos2MO
it causes our taxes to rise and we get no say even though we didn't agree to send the money to public projects.
@ISIDEWITH4mos4MO
Do you think investing in education and training programs might be a good way for governments to combat unemployment?
@9J4HH3Y4mos4MO
Yes! And more accessible and inclusive vocational trade training for women, people of color, and people with disabilities
@9J49Y3YProgressive4mos4MO
Investing in education and training programs would reduce unemployment. High paying and high skill jobs will be more accessible.
@ISIDEWITH3mos3MO
If the government were to fund a project that could benefit you, what would it be and how would it impact your future?
@9KHYBR92mos2MO
If the government were to fund a project to protect students paying for college without the help of guardians, it would heavily increase the chances of students pursuing careers they are passionate about and cause a more efficient future for american careers.
@9KHXKQL2mos2MO
I don't like government spending unless it makes sense like non rival good government funding in to roads and bridges and public buildings or government buildings.
@ISIDEWITH4mos4MO
How would you feel if government spending in education and healthcare increased during a recession, benefiting you directly?
@9KG84WPLibertarian2mos2MO
When tax increases there's not much of a benefit so I'd rather hope that this does not happen.
@9KG7GSH2mos2MO
I would feel great that the government is helping me out.
@ISIDEWITH5mos5MO
If you started a business and sales dropped sharply in a downturn, what economic policies would you want in place?
@9HH3P775mos5MO
If I started a business and sales dropped sharply in a downturn, I would want economic policies in place that focus on stimulating consumer spending and supporting businesses. For example, policies like tax incentives, infrastructure investments, and access to affordable credit can help boost demand and provide assistance to struggling businesses. It's important to have measures that promote economic recovery and stability during challenging times.
@ISIDEWITH5mos5MO
What's your take on the government lowering taxes to increase people's spending power during tough economic times?
@9HGYQ9MRepublican5mos5MO
The government idea of lowering taxes is to take away programs that sometimes are needed my take on one specifically is that welfare should be abolished in favor of a program that sends these people to school trains them for five years and then, after the five years they get a job, and they start earning their own living Lowering taxes is OK for the moment, but it’s not going to fix the economy
@ISIDEWITH3mos3MO
What is your perspective on balancing economic equity with efficiency when it comes to government intervention?
@9KLSYW6 2mos2MO
It is a complex matter, and as it has been introduced in a period of huge crisis, it may have made sense then.
However, even if it was a response to the crisis that led to a stability, it is somewhat unaffordable in the long run, meaning one should rely mostly on raising people's income and raising taxes to an affordable extent.
This way, people would be able to consume more, therefore, paying higher taxes, which would make the country grow economically.
Moreover, people would be bale to afford better, more stable, and healthier lives.
@9KLRFG32mos2MO
I believe that there should be a decent amount of government intervention, to help restore economic balnce and increase equity.
@ISIDEWITH4mos4MO
How might your long-term goals align with the idea of government-funded programs designed to stabilize the economy?
@Name-IrrelevantConstitution 4mos4MO
They wouldn't. My long-term goals mostly rely on the government staying out of my life, and I don't trust government-funded programs that can be weaponized to force me into voting for a certain candidate at the threat of losing my benefits if I don't.
@ISIDEWITH2mos2MO
How would changes in government spending during a recession potentially impact your plans for higher education?
@9KZQPTZ2mos2MO
I would love the government to spend less money on all programs and let businesses boost the economy.
impacts it a whole lot because the united states spends billions and billions of dollars for govt or military.
@ISIDEWITH4mos4MO
How might government-funded research and development during economic downturns affect your future career options?
@ISIDEWITH5mos5MO
Discuss whether you think it's fair for future generations to bear the debt from government spending aimed at short-term economic recovery?
@9HNDC66Republican5mos5MO
It is a pity that future generations have to pay for the previous generations' mistakes and needs as one generation benefits while the other suffers.
@ISIDEWITH2mos2MO
How might your perspective on college choices change if there were more government-funded scholarships available during economic downturns?
@9LHWY8T1mo1MO
I would wanna go to a college just about obgyn or doctors 5to get in and out of school not staying the extra years and everything
It would give me a lot more hope of having a debt free future.
