Greg Ip: 我认为,这项法案将在未来十年内使国家债务增加约4万亿美元,相对于现行法律而言,这比众议院版本的法案多出约1万亿美元。鉴于我们现在的赤字已经达到了创纪录的水平,除了战争和紧急时期,这种情况还在继续。事实上,在未来十年内,这项法案的情况还会变得更糟。这仍然代表着美国财政表现的显著恶化。国会正在逐渐削弱旨在防止立法过于草率的制度保障。例如,参议院的这项法案实际上放弃了“不允许增加10年后的赤字”的规则,他们只是断言我们不会遵守这条规则。我认为,债券收益率今天高于其他情况,因为美国的财政轨迹将由新的国会法案决定。在现实的赤字和债务预测下,债务与GDP的比率将上升到新的记录,高于二战时期。美国的年度借款接近GDP的7%,这是一个前所未有的水平,其对全球金融市场的影响尚不清楚。我认为,我们应该对此感到担忧。 Greg Ip: 美国的财政轨迹将由新的国会法案决定,这将导致更高的债券收益率。在现实的赤字和债务预测下,债务与GDP的比率将上升到新的记录,高于二战时期。美国的年度借款接近GDP的7%,这是一个前所未有的水平,其对全球金融市场的影响尚不清楚。
