Which of the below statements is INCORRECT regarding a budget deficit?

Group of answer choices

 

Heavy government spending and persistent federal budget deficits during both good times and recessions result in a strong economy and a high standard of living for its people.

 

Raising taxes or cutting a budget deficit during a recession will almost certainly make the recession worse.

 

As an economy slips into recession, incomes and tax revenue fall, while unemployment and unemployment benefits rise, and this results in a deficit budget.

 

A budget deficit happens when the government spends more than it collects in tax revenue.
