The stimulus package would thus fill less than half of the hole in GDP caused by the decline in household wealth and housing construction, with the remaining demand shortfall of $450 billion in each of the next two years causing serious second-round effects. As demand falls, businesses will reduce production, leading to lower employment and incomes, which in turn will lead to further cuts in consumer spending.
这也就弥补不到GDP漏洞的一半，剩下每年4500亿美元的缺口会带来什么呢：需求下降使得企业不得不减少产能，由此失业率继续上升，收入持续减少，这样就更加剧需求的萎缩。
