If increase in demand leads to increase in price, which exacerbates inflation, why isn't spending as little as possible a solution for inflation?

This is where my logic lead me, but The Great Depression was ended with massive gov't spending, on public projects, so there is a mistake in my train of thought somewhere, i just dont know where.

Getting people to spend less is exactly what we do.

Central banks raise interest rates, that means loans get more expensive, that means people borrow less, which means people have less money to spend, which leads to a fall in aggregate demand, reducing inflation.
