How Government Stimulus Packages Impact Household Budgets #4
GM Trendy Hiverzzz, welcome to Hindustan Trendz. We have often seen that the government takes steps when a recession occurs, and its primary response is stimulus packages. How do these packages help?
Such packages stabilize the market that has already crashed, boost spending, and also serve a big aim: protecting the jobs of the people. But let me break it down in more detail.
The stimulus package's main action is indirectly giving money directly into people's hands, and it can be done directly, too. The government can extend unemployment benefits, provide tax relief, offer more subsidies for housing and utilities, and also distribute cash directly to the people.
These steps are good to run the overall country's financial system normally. When people get money, their spending rate increases automatically because people need daily life products.
Talking about critical needs, so let's say there is a family with two main people who earn money to keep the financial cycle of the family. Now they have both lost their job.
In this case, direct cash or boosting employment benefits are great things that can help reduce the financial stress so that they can pay for groceries, rent, and bills easily. It is not just helping that family but also reducing the psychological burden that comes due to financial stress.
Talking about a temporary tax break, it is also very helpful. They can also introduce no tax in such a situation for a short time. One more thing is the children's subsidy.
You can see that the stimulus package has multiple great things, and this package has both short-term and long-term benefits.
During the financial crisis, such packages can help the household, but for public services, they can affect them.
Here, you can just save some percentage as an emergency fund without relying on the government. This is the best solution that always works. Salam namaste, take care.
