For starters, achieving it requires overcoming the negative impact of the jump in long-term interest rates that followed the Federal Reserve’s announcement last June that it would likely end its asset-purchase program this year. Moreover, the cloud of rising budget deficits at the end of the decade – and exploding national debt after that – is also discouraging investment and consumer spending.
当然，2014年的大幅高GDP增长并不是板上钉钉的。首先，实现这一增长需要克服长期利率突然上涨的负面影响，因为美联储在去年六月宣布将在今年结束其资产购买计划。此外，在这十年末期预算赤字上升——以及随后国家负债暴涨——的阴云也在压抑着投资和消费者支出。
