fauxsterity

Government policies that consist of an increase in spending, taxes or both. Meant to boost an economy in recession, it usually ends up depressing it even more.

It's the opposite of austerity, i.e. government policies that consist of a decrease in spending and taxes. Such policies end up recessions much quicker.
Herbert Hoover and Franklin Roosevelt applied fauxsterity measures by massively increasing spending and taxes, transforming a recession into the Great Depression.

In contrast, Warren Harding applied austerity measures by cutting spending and taxes, and the recession was over in less than two years.

Sister: This meeting was to discuss the rough draft of my essay, where we discussed the subsidiary questions I added in my rough draft. We also discussed the relationship between my main title and the real-life situations I chose to use in my essay. We discussed the structure of my essay as well, specifically the Math AOK section and how it relates to the contradiction of the title. This second meeting was particularly helpful in discussing the implications of my essay claims and how to apply the title across various areas of knowledge. There were many sections of the essay that could have been cut down in wordiness and the ways of knowing required further and more in-depth analysis.
