But there are plenty of negative examples which can serve as a warning: in the late 1970s under the Carter administration, the United States 'budget deficit increased massively and inflation went into double figures for several years running. Unemployment rose sharply and economic growth stagnated, creating the dreadful problem of "stagflation."
不過前車之鑑所在多有：一九七○年代後期卡特總統任內，美國預算赤字大幅增加，通貨膨脹率連續幾年飆漲到兩位數字，勞工失業率也居高不下，經濟成長隨之停頓，造成可怕的「停滯通膨」。
