When President Obama was elected, the U.S. economy was in trouble, and had slid into a recession. Consumer spending was low and getting worse. In an effort to stop the decline, President Obama proposed an economic stimulus package which included government spending on roads, bridges, and schools, among other things, and a tax cut that each U.S. worker would see in her or his paycheck. Apparently, President Obama was a proponent of:
a. Malthusian economics
b. Monetary policy
c. Keynesian economic theory
d. Communist economic theory
