But if you ask the government’s supporters why there is no alternative to mammoth cuts in government spending and increases in taxes, they sound confused and incoherent. Or perhaps they are merely parroting talking points backed by little thought.
不过，如果你提问：为什么除了大规模削减政府支出和增税之外就没有其他方法了呢？政府支持者便顾左右而言他了。也许他们并未深入思考过这一问题，只是在人云亦云罢了。
