nope - it is not that simple.
a government can not stop to spend money - not even theoretically.
if they would do that the whole world would be owned within 10 years from 10-20 people.
imagine what would happen, if everybody in the world stop to spend money.
no cash flow at all. this would break the circulation what we know under the name "economy". economy is nothing else than big a river what is feed by the water from itīs spring. but the spring delivers actually the same water again and again - so the most important thing is that the water in the river have to find a way back into the spring.
this is actually the main reason why taxes and the government spendings from that are important for an economy. government spendings can even go targeted into the market because our big river in this example is actually the sum of many small rivers with many small springs. when the water in the river is low it is even legit to "borrow water" to fill the springs up.
as you see in this example any kind of prosperity is made from the same ammount of water. and this is the tricky part in it. it is kind of a perpeduum mobile that uses the same energy again and again but have to spin faster with each cycle.
this efficiency CAN ONLY be realized with globalizing and optimized by using geo-local circumstances and competition.
economy is a very very complex thing and here is also the problem. as voters usually do not know about this complexity, they are voting for "easy answers" - but there are no easy answers.
