But in today’s world, only national governments are large enough to be able to do so with any assurance that the pension assets will actually be there when workers retire. I am enough of a social democrat to believe that if there is an economic service or benefit that citizens value extremely highly and that only the government can provide, then the government should provide it.
但是在当今世界，只有各国政府才有实力这样做，并且保证，当工人们退休的时候，养老金资产会安然无恙。我是一个社会民主派人士，我相信，如果说公民极为重视某一种经济服务或者利益而且只有各国政府才能够提供的话，那么，政府就应责无旁贷地予以提供。
