More accurately, tax cuts were what Wall Street wanted, and financial professionals were willing to accept any argument that served that purpose. Of course, if, say, by 2008 the disappearing national debt really did appear to pose an imminent danger, Congress would have happily obliged in cutting taxes or increasing expenditures.
金融市场信以为真，这充分说明了金融市场何等容易上当受骗。更为准确而言，华尔街要的就是减税，金融界人士愿意接受符合这一目的的任何观点。当然，如果不断消亡的国债到2008年果真成为急迫的危险，国会将会乐于减税或者增加开支。
