Last but not least, governments that can borrow at unprecedentedly low rates – 0% in real terms over 10 years in the case of Germany – must play their role in supporting demand. Would it be really be so difficult to see VAT coming down ahead of the German election next year?
最后，能够以前所未有的低利率借钱的政府（比如，德国可以以0%的真实利率发行10年期以上的国债）应该承担起支持需求的责任。在明年德国大选以前看到增值税下降真的如此困难吗？
