Such a policy was successfully implemented in 2009 and 2010, but the government lacked the funds it needed when economic conditions subsequently deteriorated. Sound public finances require not only low public debt, but also appropriate budgetary policy, which includes cutting spending (or raising taxes) during boom times, not during downturns, as was recently the case.
这样的政策在2009年和2010年成功地实施国，但当经济条件大幅恶化时，政府也缺少所需的资金。可靠的公共财政不但需要较低的公债水平，也需要合理的预算政策，包括在繁荣期而不是衰退期（如现在）减少支出（或增加税收）。
