All the more reason, then, to put flesh on its bones. Mr Romney has pledged to do four things to “restore fiscal sanity. First, he will cap federal spending at 20 per cent of gross domestic product. Second, he will restore the US budget to surplus by the end of his second term (in 2020) and sponsor a balanced-budget amendment. Third, he will spend at least four per cent of GDP annually on defence. And finally, he will reduce everyone’s tax rate by a fifth and abolish the inheritance tax. It is a crisp and radical blueprint. Alas for Mr Romney, it lacks credibility.
那么,罗姆尼就更有理由让自己的计划具有说服力。罗姆尼承诺采取4项措施来“恢复财政健康。首先,他将把联邦支出控制在国内生产总值(GDP)的20%以内。其次,他将让美国的预算在他的第二任期结束(2020年)之前恢复盈余,并发起一项平衡预算修正案。第三,他至少每年会将占GDP 4%的资金花在国防领域。最后,他将把所有人的税率下调五分之一,并取消遗产税。这是一份利落且激进的蓝图。对于罗姆尼而言可惜的是,它缺乏可信性。
According to a consensus of studies, under his plan Mr Romney would be unable both to balance the budget and push through his intended tax cuts. One of them has to give.
根据多项研究达成的共识,根据计划,罗姆尼将无法既平衡预算,又完成预想中的减税。其中一个必须放弃。
