Recession 2009

At first, I was puzzled by the idea that the government shouldn’t have done anything to intervene during the recession. The debate rages. Some believe that government should do nothing, and scale back as far as possible, especially taxation, so that the market can take care of itself. Others believe the government should launch huge works projects, or works projects that pay as little as possible, so that there's at least a fall back. However, government butting in on every action does no good save for those doing the butting, and for every action has a consequence. If there's too much government intervention for debt relief – we cripple ourselves to save ourselves, and empower the wealthy over the working.
