The United States Federal Reserve, which helped create the problems through a combination of excessive liquidity and lax regulation, is trying to make amends – by flooding the economy with liquidity, a move that, at best, has merely prevented matters from being worse.

美联储造成的流动性过剩加上疏于监管，推动了危机的发生。因此美联储正在努力用给经济大量增加流动性的方式进行弥补，而此举最多只能阻止事态进一步恶化。那些过去推动问题的出现且未能遇见灾难的人，现在也并未能娴熟地处理已经出现的灾难，可这也并不奇怪。目前看来，经济下滑的势态已经形成，情况在改善之前将会变得更糟。
