As proof of this new realism, the government has been trumpeting its response to the set of policy recommendations that an expert panel led by the business executive Louis Gallois presented two weeks before the downgrade. The response is centered on a payroll-tax cut, which will be offset by spending cuts and a higher value-added tax.
作为这一新现实主义的例证，法国政府大肆吹嘘其对企业高管加洛瓦（Louis Gallois）领导的一个专家小组在降级发生两周前所给出的一组政策措施的反应。反应的核心是降低工资税，而税收的减少将用支出削减和增值税的提高抵消。
