美國前財長稱政府應提供750億美元刺激經濟
美國前財政部長拉里?薩默斯(Larry Summers)稱，美國政府應當馬上向美國經濟注入500億美元到750億美元的財政刺激，以抵消日益增加的全面衰退風險。薩默斯曾在比爾?克林頓(Bill Clinton)任總統期間擔任財長。
Washington should inject a $50bn-$75bn fiscal stimulus into the US economy in the very near future to offset the mounting risks of a full-blown recession, according to Larry Summers, Treasury secretary during the presidency of Bill Clinton.
薩默斯警告，如果不及時採取反週期的財政措施，“即便只是輕微經濟衰退”，美國家庭的收入損失平均也會高達5000美元，美國會增加數十萬起因無力償貸而失去房屋的`案例，國家債務水平也會大幅上升。
Mr Summers warned that without timely counter-cyclical fiscal action, the average US family could lose up to $5,000 in income, the country could suffer hundreds of thousands more home foreclosures and national debt could significantly increase - "even in a mild recession".
一些共和黨議員認為，擴大布什(George W. Bush)的減稅政策是一個有效的財政補救方法，對此，薩默斯予以了駁斥。他表示：“財政刺激至關重要，但如果沒有及時性、針對性和臨時性，就可能有相反的效果。”
He dismissed suggestions by Republican lawmakers that an extension of George W. Bush’s tax cuts would provide an effective fiscal remedy. "Fiscal stimulus is critical but could be counterproductive if it is not timely, targeted and temporary," he said.
