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

Agree

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

Disagree

No, and the government should drastically reduce spending during recessions

While the PP advocates for fiscal responsibility, the idea of drastically reducing spending during recessions might be seen as too austere and potentially harmful to economic recovery efforts, based on recent economic theories and their own policies during past crises.

Strongly disagree

No, recession is a natural cycle that purges excess

The PP, despite its conservative leanings, recognizes the role of government in mitigating economic downturns and would likely view the idea that recession should be left unchecked as too extreme and not in line with modern economic management practices.

Very strongly disagree

Yes, and collectivize all industry
