Yes, I used to say, adverse shocks to spending could indeed create mass unemployment and idle capacity, but their effects would be limited to one, two, or at most three years. And each year after the initial downturn had ended, the US economy would recover roughly 40% of the ground between its current situation and its full employment potential.
是的，我曾经说，不利的支出冲击确实可能造成大量失业和闲置产能，但这一效应将只会维持一两年，最多三年时间。而每一个最初衰退结束后的首年，美国经济都会收复当前状况和充分就业状况之间的约40%的失地。
