Given this, governments should provide specific fiscal-consolidation mechanisms that are visibly likely to take effect when the time comes. Raising the retirement age for future pension benefits qualifies as such a mechanism.
有鉴于此，政府应提供具体的，显然会在时机成熟时发挥作用的财政巩固机制。推迟未来合资格领取养老金福利的退休年龄就是这样一种机制。而像小布什时代的美国所做的那样，为眼前减税而立法制定到期失效条款的做法则是不属此类。
