Consumers are diverting what little income they earn away from spending toward paying down debt and rebuilding savings. That is both logical and rational – and thus not something that the US Federal Reserve can offset with unconventional monetary easing.
于是乎，美国家庭前所未有地放低了姿态。消费者把赚取的微薄收入用来还债和重建储蓄，而不是用来支出。此举确为逻辑理性之举——因此绝非美联储靠超乎常规的宽松货币政策可以抵消的。
