But we all know that these countries and their national banks were able to spend trillions of dollars in a few months to bail out their bankers, who earned super-profits when the going was good. When the good times ended, taxpayers and governments were prepared to rescue them and to ensure that they continued to receive their extraordinary bonuses.
即便如此，仍有人提出无论损失的实际数额怎样，发达国家目前都无法支付这笔金额。可我们都知道这些国家和它们的央行有能力在数月之内耗费数万亿美元的巨资来救助它们在经济运行平稳时赚取了超额利润的银行。好日子结束时，纳税人和政府准备救援它们，确保它们继续得到额外的津贴。
