Even if Romney’s new tax cuts strengthened investment and growth in the long run (a debatable proposition that depends on how they are financed), their short-term effect on job creation would be minimal, and they would entail a significant loss of revenue. Indeed, these cuts perform poorly on the CBO’s measure of budgetary effectiveness.
即便罗姆尼的全新减税政策长远来看强化了投资和增长（根据资助方式的不同这本身还是一个有争议的命题），但是它们短期创造就业机会的作用仍然微乎其微，而且还会招致严重的收入损失。事实上，这些减税措施在国会预算办公室的预算措施效益排名表上表现不佳。
