The stimulus package appears big – more than 2% of GDP per year – but one-third of it goes to tax cuts. And, with Americans facing a debt overhang, rapidly increasing unemployment (and the worst unemployment compensation system among major industrial countries), and falling asset prices, they are likely to save much of the tax cut.
然而，他做的还远远不够。经济刺激方案看起来很庞大——超过GDP的2%——但有三分之一都用到了减税上。美国人目前负债累累，失业率快速上升（可以说是工业国家最失败的失业救助机制），财富迅速缩水，所以，对于减税的所得，他们最可能的是储蓄起来，而不是用于消费。
