No, I was speaking generally. But looking back at my original comment, I did say "stimulus" where I really meant "government action."
Fair enough.
Tax cuts are a form of stimulus, though - Keynes advocated for those in addition to spending boosts.
Sure. It's too bad we didn't really go for those, though. Did some small tax credits, which don't cut taxes and were temporary enough where no one would actually do anything with them. But thems the breaks.
