The fiscal response – tax cuts and spending increases – has varied considerably, being somewhat more tepid in debt-averse Europe than in the US and China. The US is hectoring Europe for more fiscal stimulus, while the Europeans pressure the US for greater and more globally coordinated financial regulation.
各国的财政回应（减少税收与降低公共开支）有着很大程度的不同，大力反对债务的欧洲比美国与中国表现得有些不大热情。美国正威迫欧洲各国采取更多的财政刺激手段，而欧洲政府则对美国进行施压，让美国在全球更大范围以更大力度对金融规范进行调整。
