BEIJING – Now that the “green shoots” of recovery have withered, the debate over fiscal stimulus is back with a vengeance. In the United States, those who argue for another stimulus package observe that it was always wishful thinking to believe that a $787 billion package could offset a $3 trillion fall in private spending.
北京——现如今，复苏的“绿芽”已经枯萎，该不该再搞财政刺激的辩论变本加厉。在美国，主张继续出台一揽子刺激方案的人认为，以刺激计划的7870亿美元来抵消私人部门减支3万亿美元的影响实在是一厢情愿。失业率激增，超出预期。再算上持续走低的房价，不难理解消费为什么仍然低迷。
