More significant, over the last year, the public debt/GDP ratio rose by seven percentage points in Italy, 11 in Ireland, and 15 in Portugal and Spain. If the sine qua non of recovery via austerity is the stabilization and reduction of debt, the cynics’ case appears to have been made.
更重要的是，去年一年，公债/GDP比率在意大利上升了七个百分点，在爱尔兰上升了11个百分点，在葡萄牙和西班牙上升了15个百分点。如果通过紧缩实现复苏的必要条件是债务水平的稳定和下降，那么怀疑派显然握有强大的证据。
