The United States, by contrast, has pursued expansionary and growth-oriented macroeconomic policies since the 2007-2009 financial crisis, despite massive budget deficits. Thus far, judging from the modest recovery in the US versus non-recovery in Europe, American policy accommodation is performing better than European austerity.
相比之下，美国虽然也拥有巨额财政赤字，但自2007-2009年金融危机后一直在追求扩张性以及以增长为目标的宏观经济政策。因此如果用美国的温和增长与欧洲的无增长作对比的话，前者的政策调节效果显然比后者的紧缩措施表现更佳。
