Moreover, the annual interest charged on the extra $1 trillion per year that Americans borrow from the rest of the world is about $50 billion – just one-eighth of annual economic growth, while the trade deficit is financed out of the growth of the value of capital. So what’s unsustainable?
另外，每年从美国人向其他国家借款10,000亿美元所收取的年利息为大约5000亿美元—仅占年度经济增长的八分之一，而资本价值的增长就完全能平衡贸易赤字。那么还有什么不可持续的呢？为什么美国经常账户赤字不能无限期地保持在2006年的数额呢？
