A recession means that not enough money is spent in the economy.
In that situation, a government should increase the spending, not use the situation as an excuse for cutting the public sector because ideological reasons.
Or do you think that the intention is to restore those services when the economy goes better?
- DuskStar 8y agoWe're ten years from the start of the last recession. Should spending still be high to stimulate the economy, or are they perhaps not in a recession anymore? This isn't a case of a government reducing spending in response to an economic downturn. It's a government INCREASING spending due to that downturn, and then not further increasing it when the economy recovers.
