One reason the US recovery is only partial is fiscal drag, a lingering effect of the post-2008 downturn, which shifted some leverage to the public sector, resulting in a growing debt burden that has been addressed – controversially so – by immediate austerity.
说美国复苏只是局部性的一个原因在于财政拖累，这是2008年衰退后一直无法摆脱的阴影，2008年衰退将一些杠杆转移到了公共部门，导致债务负担增加，需要立刻采取紧缩来纠正（这一点存在争议）。
