Increasing government spending during a recession will always lead to higher inflation, regardless of the economic context.

Increasing government spending during a recession does not always lead to higher inflation, as the outcome depends on various factors in the economy. During a recession, there is often high unemployment and unused resources, which means that the economy can absorb more spending without causing prices to rise. For example, if the government invests in infrastructure, it can create jobs and stimulate demand without immediately increasing prices because there is still a lot of spare capacity. However, if the economy is already near full capacity, additional spending may lead to inflation as demand outpaces supply. So, while increased spending can lead to inflation, it is not a guaranteed outcome and depends on the specific economic conditions at the time.
