The long-term effects of economic policies made during a recession can cause ongoing problems and more debt. Here’s a simpler look at some of these issues:

1. Higher Unemployment: When many people lose their jobs for a long time, they can forget some of the skills they need. This makes it harder for them to work well again when jobs come back.

2. Public Debt: When the government spends a lot of money to help the economy, it can lead to big debts. This means that future taxpayers may have to pay the price and the government might not be able to help as much during the next crisis.

3. Inflation: If the government tries too hard to fix the economy, it might cause high prices and more job losses at the same time. This is called stagflation, and it makes recovery even tougher.

To deal with these problems, we need a balanced plan. This means:

• Changing spending policies so that they are smart and sustainable.
• Investing in education and training to help workers gain new skills.
• Supporting new ideas and businesses to help the economy grow over time.

By focusing on these actions, we can create a stronger and more resilient economy for the future.
