Provide adequate fiscal stimulus during crises

Foster argues that adequate fiscal stimulus is necessary to protect average American households during economic crises. He contrasts household losses during the 2008 financial crisis, which he attributes in large part to inadequate stimulus, with a faster recovery in household wealth during COVID-19, which he attributes to adequate stimulus.

Context: The passage does not define an adequate level of stimulus or specify a proposed package.

In their own words

Lawmakers can protect the average American family’s household wealth in times of crisis only by providing adequate fiscal stimulus
