I think that was one of the more accurate questions on the test. Assuming you're asking about
"Which of the following fiscal policy combinations has the federal government most often followed to stimulate economic activity when the economy is in a severe recession?"

Nope.
This one:

and their answer is:
"tax per person equals government spending per person on average".
I did not quite utilize my total understanding of the collectivist concept of "spending per person".
