So what follows from that is that if you think it's all about money -- you can only measure success in public services in health care and education and policing by spending more money, you can only measure progress by spending money -- you're going to have a pretty miserable time.
因此紧接着的后果就是，如果你认为这一切完全是基于钱， 如果你只能通过花费更多的钱来衡量公共服务的成功， 来衡量卫生保健和教育以及警力治安的成功， 如果你只能通过花钱多少来衡量进步的话， 那你将会有一个相当悲惨的时期。
