To determine what should be done with this windfall, it is important to know whether the increase in commodity prices is likely to be permanent or transitory. If the latter, the best course of action would be to save the additional income or use it, as a second-best option, to reduce the national debt.
要想确定如何使用这笔横财，一定要先搞清楚商品价格上涨是永久还是暂时性的。 如果是后者，那么最好的选择莫过于把这笔额外收入积攒起来，或者退而求其次，用它来偿还国家债务。 可如果涨价是永久性的，增加开支或减轻税收压力就成为明智的选择。
