After all, they (or some of them) argue, the real GDP of the United States is growing by $400 billion per year, with about $270 billion going to labor and $130 billion to capital. Even after depreciation, that $130 billion of extra annual income is capitalized at about $1.5 trillion of wealth, so the current-account deficit, even at $1 trillion, is not overwhelmingly large.
毕竟，他们（或其中一些人）认为，美国实际GDP每年增长4,000亿美元，其中约2,700亿美元用于劳动力，1,300亿美元用作资本。甚至在美元贬值之后，1,300亿美元的额外年收入资本化为15,000亿美元的资产，这样，经常账户赤字即便达到10,000亿美元，数额也不算特别大。我们美国人可以卖掉三分之二的资产增量用于资助进口，今年依然能比去年富余5,000亿美元。
