An economic stimulus is a monetary or fiscal policy enacted by governments with the intent of stabilizing their economies during a fiscal crisis. The policies include an increase in government spending on infrastructure, tax cuts and lowering interest rates. In 2012 the Irish government invested €2.25 billion euros in a number of delayed road, school and health-care construction projects.

They should reduce spending during recessions. They should have money aside incase of recession and prepare for it through 10 years or 12 years period. There are recession cycles throughout history.

Yes, provided the recession is related to a speculative bubble. No if there is a hyperinflation risk due to supply issues
Yes, but only bail out big banks if the ownership is to be nationalized and C suites/boards fired with lower than salary severance.
@8C5RDBV4yrs4Y
Yes, but for individuals and small businesses only. Banks, and corporations and billionaires should be left to fend for themselves.
@8CWNV9J4yrs4Y
Yes, but allow banks and corporation found to be involved in improper dealings on their own
