He is right in principle in demanding a major economic stimulus package from the German government that goes beyond the €35 billion already planned. But he should not ignore the time lags between the American and the German economic cycles.
克鲁格曼对德国政府大加指责，他应当知道这一点。克鲁格曼是一名出色的经济学家。德国政府已经计划好350亿欧元的经济刺激计划，而他则要求进一步，这在原则上是对的。但是，他不应该忽略美德两国经济周期的时间差。德国应该现在着手准备经济刺激计划并且在适当的时候予以落实。
