The U.S. government thus needs to act as well. By running constant deficits, it is dis-saving, even as households save more. Peter Orszag, Obamas Budget Director, recently called the U.S. budget deficits unsustainable and hes right. To date, the U.S. has seemed unable to have what Indiana Governor Mitch Daniels has called an adult conversation about the consequences of spending so much more than is taken in. That needs to change. And though Hu Jintao and the rest of the Chinese leadership arent inclined to lecture visiting Presidents, he might gently hint that Beijing is getting a little nervous about the value of the dollar which has fallen 15% since March, in large part because of increasing fears that Americas debt load is becoming unmanageable.

　　Thats what happens when youre the worlds biggest creditor: you get to drop hints like that, which would be enough by themselves to create international economic chaos if they were ever leaked. If Americans saved more and spent less, consistently over time, they wouldnt have to worry about all that.

　　【点评】

　　本文讲述了在全球经济危机的背景下，美国人要向中国人学习勤俭，学会储蓄。为什么这样做呢?文章中指出良好的储蓄率能够推动经济的繁荣。但即使美国家庭开始储蓄更多，如果政府常年赤字的话，对美国来说还是反储蓄的。所以文章的目的是敦促美国政府降低赤字，并在文末再一次强调要坚持向中国学习存多花少，
