The real cost of the crisis is not measured by the profit and loss statement of any central bank – or by whether or not the Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP), run by the Treasury Department, made or lost money on its various activities.
事实上，那场危机的真正成本根本无法用任何中央银行的账面盈亏来衡量——也无法用美国财政部问题资产救助计划（Troubled Asset Relief Program）的一系列行动是赚是亏来进行评估。
