Should the government use economic stimulus to aid the country during times of recession?

Yes but on environmental schemes that will provide for all citizens for generations

Too many variables. Any stimulus should be towards increasing productivity via education or boosting frontier industries

I need a better understanding before I can comment

I do not have enough information or expertise to answer this question

Reduce or eliminate GST on healthy foods

Yes, in a way that will motivate New Zealanders to continue the stimulus, not just throw our own money back at us

Tax breaks for low income earners and spend on infrastructure projects etc to create jobs

Only far more judiciously and never to private companies unless taking an equity position

It would depend on what state the government was in, in the time of the recession

Yes, but by helping buisnesses

No the cost of living should be lowered buy back our assets.

No, government intervention creates artificially stimulated economies
