Who knows what the consequences would have been? Many feared mass unemployment, a tidal wave of bankruptcies, millions of families evicted from their homes, the social safety net strained to the breaking point, and perhaps even riots and a resurgence of the political extremism that brought Hitler to power in Germany during the depression of the 1930’s.
如不这样做的话，谁知道会发生什么后果呢？很多人害怕会出现大规模的失业、破产潮、数百万家庭无家可归、社会安全网紧绷到断裂点，甚至暴乱以及如1930年代经济大萧条期间把希特勒送上权利顶峰的政治极端主义的死灰复燃。
