This is the shape of things to come if steps are not taken now to recover rapidly from this lesser depression, and then to implement policies to boost private capital, infrastructure, and education investment back up to trend. Perhaps that would be enough to reassure everyone that policymakers’ current acquiescence in a prolonged slump was a horrible mistake that will not be repeated.
这就是我们将要面对的未来，如果现在不采取措施以使经济从小萧条中快速复苏、然后继之以实施刺激私人资本、基础设施和教育投资重回趋势水平的政策的话。或许这已足够使所有人认识到，政客们当前对长期衰退的默认态度是个危险的错误，决不能让他们一错再错。
