What's the Liberal Policy on Stimulating the Economy?

[Tony Trick-Pony]

Obviously conservatives and libertarians lean toward the free market, where lower taxes, less regulation and overall less government interference in the economy is the prime goal for getting the economy going.

What's the liberal side?

Just look at Jan 20, 2009- Jan 20, 2016

If you weren't better off the day Obama left office to the day he left office what the hell was you doing?

This isn't about Obama or anybody in particular.

Don't deflect.

What's the liberal/left strategy for stimulating an economy?

[JimRaynor]

Liberal policy for stimulating the economy is taking out 1 trillion dollars (1 trillion that equals our tax cuts, or 1 trillion that could've repaired our infrastructure) and sending everyone a check for $500.

Oh and making corporations pay "their fair share" in 35% taxes while the rest of the world specifically European average is 25%, the same "progressive" Europe that every American Democrat espouses America to be.

I remember when Bush sent out the stimulus checks. Seemed great to me at the time. However, looking back, it really didn't boost the economy at all.

Obama wasn't liberal or left?

[Motorcity Cobra]

We saw a liberal/left strategy under Bill Clinton. We saw a conservative/right wing strategy under George W. Bush. We saw a liberal/left strategy under Obama. Those are the three most recent cases you can base your opinion on.

Not just the presidential side.

Damn, man.

The strategies.

Be specific.

I can sit here all day and name presidents.

Like, what is the liberal strategy for stimulating an economy as far as philosophical?

[STREET CLEANER]

Hillary said that private companies don't stimulate the economy, government does. So she said that she was going to raise taxes especially the wealthy and big companies.

That's my point. How can the federal government stimulate an economy? Shovel ready jobs? BS.
