Well, a rise in government spending does mean higher expected future taxes — but it also means higher incomes right now, and those two effects should exactly cancel each other.

Each enantiomorph rotates the plane of polarization of plane-polarized light through a characteristic angle, but, because the rotatory effect of each component exactly cancels that of the other, the racemic mixture is optically inactive.
To get around this, supersymmetry proposes that the superpartners of every fundamental particle also interact with the Higgs, but in such a way that each one almost exactly cancels out the fluctuations of their normal partners.
The particles, with whimsical names like squarks (partners of the quarks), selectrons (partners of the electrons) and gluinos (partners of the gluons), would exactly cancel their partners' exploding contributions to the calculated mass of the Higgs, restoring balance to the theory.
In a superconductor, however, those currents just keep flowing, creating a magnetic field that exactly cancels the applied field and zeroing out the total field within the container.
