Government Spending

[Jarod Cheek]

There is a theory stating that when the economy is taking a downturn, the government should spend more to bring it out of that recession. Ours has for a while now and each time it does, we usually owe debts and no one really wants to cut spending or raise taxes to keep the country going. Should this keep going on? Can we find a different way to get out of a recession?

Personally I feel a big way for the country to get out of debt is for people to start pulling their own weight in society. Even with those who cannot give much giving forth to the economy, the government would not have to spend as much to fix things it shouldn't really have to. Unfortunately, people are lazy. A lot of people are perfectly fine with doing nothing because the government keeps them afloat and in turn that hurts everyone else. I don't feel like the government should be spending so much to bring the economy out of a recession but it still happens because of the mentality of some people.
