By doling out vast sums of money to rescue the financial system, without asking for genuine guarantees in return, they showed a lack of foresight. Acknowledging that rating agencies were incompetent without doing anything to regulate them was inexcusable.
各国政府都采取了正确的手段去拯救银行，但却忽视了其政治后果。政府斥巨资拯救金融系统，却没有要求银行做出相应的承诺，这点是缺乏远见的。单纯指出评级机构的无能，却不对他们进行任何监管，这也是不可饶恕的。
