Thank you Barbara. Can you please tell me why it is has? I thought have because it is plural yes?

The subject of the first is the idea of governments increasing taxes. For it to be plural, you'd need to say something like "as governments have done in other countries."
The subject of the second is "spending" — spending has decreased.
