Government Spending

Can some one please tell me when was the last time Big Government Spending solved an economic crisis? People spending is what the economy needs. People purchasing products of all kinds puts money into the economy. Whether it is a meal, appliances, automobiles, house, home repairs etc. is what turns the economy around. More income in your pocket has always worked. Big Government Spending does not put money into your pocket, just takes it out to pay political favors.
