本文作者是美国经济顾问委员会主任。他用预算支出赤字占国民生产总值的百分比来说明当前美国预算超支的严重程度,如1960年为1%,1970年为2%,则1982年为1,120亿美元,占3.7%。而1983年计划中的赤字将达1,500—2,000亿美元之间。即以1,500亿美元而论,将占国民生产总值的4.5%。这个比率比以往任何一年都高。如果不立即采取重大行动,今后数年美国经济将被空前的赤字所困扰,其危害将达到不堪设想的程度。
The writer is the director of the U.S. Economic Advisory Council. He shows the current budget deficit as a percentage of gross national product in terms of the magnitude of the current budget overruns in the United States, such as 1% in 1960 and 2% in 1970, compared with $ 112 billion in 1982, or 3.7%. The planned deficit in 1983 will amount to between 150 and 200 billion U.S. dollars. That is, 150 billion U.S. dollars, will account for 4.5% of the GNP. This ratio is higher than ever before. Without immediate and serious action, the U.S. economy will be plagued by an unprecedented deficit in the coming years, and its harm will be unimaginable.
