The anticipated increase in the fiscal deficit is striking: the central plan discussed by Bush’s Council of Economic Advisers would – according to the Council’s own estimates – increase America’s fiscal deficit by $2 trillion over the next decade. Advocates of privatization claim to believe in markets, but they are proposing budget gimmickry that would move those losses off the books, as if markets could be easily fooled.
财政赤字的预期增长是惊人的：根据布什的经济顾问委员会估计，他们所讨论的中心计划将在今后十年中增加2万亿美元财政赤字。私有化的拥护者们宣称他们相信市场，但是他们却提议使用可以移走账面损失的预算伎俩，似乎市场可以就这样被容易地愚弄。
