Where would you increase or decrease the amount of government spending?

When the government decreases taxes, disposable income increases. That translates to higher demand (spending) and increased production (GDP). ... If the government were to keep taxes the same, but decrease its spending, it would have the same effect as a tax increase, but through a slightly different channel.

I would increase government spending in natural disaster relief.
