Admittedly, consumption cannot be sustained indefinitely by running up the national debt; the imbalance between consumption and investment must be corrected. But to cut government spending at a time of large-scale unemployment would be to ignore the lessons of history.
我认为进一步刺激计划将会是一个大问题。实事求是地讲，消费不可能被不断增长的国债规模无限支持，消费与投资间的失衡迟早要被纠正。但在失业率高企的当口削减政府支出则属于无视历史教训。
