The policies include an increase in government spending on infrastructure, tax cuts and lowering interest rates.

Yes, provided the recession is related to a speculative bubble. No if there is a hyperinflation risk due to supply issues

They should reduce spending during recessions. They should have money aside incase of recession and prepare for it through 10 years or 12 years period. There are recession cycles throughout history.
