The American political system, at least, appears incapable of setting out the central fiscal policy issues in ways that give voters a chance to make informed judgments and distinguish between candidates-even between candidates whose programs are serious and those whose programs are mathematically impossible jokes.
看起来美国的政治制度至少不能公开列出核心的财政问题，以便选民们有机会做出明智的判断，区分候选人——甚至是区分提出严肃计划的候选人和其计划只是数学上不可完成的笑话的候选人。
