Answer:
To some extant, during hard times I believe the government should assist with meals, carpooling and groceries. The government shouldn't pay people to do nothing all day, instead they should have all payments stop (electricity wouldn't go out or heat); this would help with the extra money that the government would go into debt by paying people. They should also have jobs available for delivering food and transportation, making the people still have jobs, and helping the people who cannot help themselves.
hope this helps
