One answer that can be easily dismissed is that politicians simply don’t understand the gravity of the situation. Political leaders need not be economic geniuses to understand the advice that they hear, and many are both intelligent and well-read.
其中一个很容易被排除的答案就是政治家们根本没意识到事态的严重性。政治家们无需具备经济学家的头脑就能理解他们所听到的建议，更可况其中许多人还是博学多才，饱读诗书之辈。
