Essay #10.154(22742-!-item-!-188;#058&00154-00)



Conventional wisdom has it that large deficits in the United States

budget cause interest rates to rise.Two main arguments are given for this claim.According to the first, as the deficit increases, the government will borrow more to make up for the ensuing shortage of funds.Consequently, it is argued, if both the total supply of credit (money available for borrowing) and the amount of credit sought by nongovernment borrowers remain relatively stable, as is often supposed, then the price of credit (the interest rate) will increase.That this is so is suggested by the basic economic principle that if supplies of a commodity (here, credit) remain fixed and demand for that commodity increases, its price will also increase. The second argument supposes that the government will tend to finance its deficits by increasing the money supply with insufficient regard for whether there is enough room for economic growth to enable such an increase to occur without causing inflation.It is then argued that financiers will expect the deficit to cause inflation and will raise interest rates, anticipating that because of inflation the money they lend will be worth less when paid back.




Unfortunately for the first argument, it is unreasonable to assume that nongovernment borrowing and the supply of credit will remain relatively stable.Nongovernment borrowing sometimes decreases.When it does, increased government borrowing will not necessarily push up the total demand for credit.Alternatively, when credit availability increases, for example through greater foreign lending to the United States

, then interest rates need not rise, even if both private and government borrowing increase.


The second argument is also problematic.Financing the deficit by increasing the money supply should cause inflation only when there is not enough room for economic growth.Currently, there is no reason to expect deficits to cause inflation.However, since many financiers believe that deficits ordinarily create inflation, then admittedly they will be inclined to raise interest rates to offset mistakenly anticipated inflation.This effect, however, is due to ignorance, not to the deficit itself, and could be lessened by educating financiers on this issue.


Question #34.154-03(22834-!-item-!-188;#058&000154-03)



It can be inferred from the passage that proponents支持者 of the second argument would most likely agree with which of the following statements?

Ac都有careless的意思

(A) The United States

government does not usually care whether or not inflation increases.
(B) People in the United States

government generally know very little about economics.
(C) The United States

government is sometimes careless in formulating its economic policies.
(D) The United States

government sometimes relies too much on the easy availability of foreign credit.
(E) The United States

government increases the money supply whenever there is enough room for growth to support the increase.


正确答案是C,前人的解释 The second argument supposes that the government will tend to finance its deficits by increasing the money supply with insufficient regard for whether there is enough room for economic growth to enable such an increase to occur without causing inflation.

这句话,但是insufficient和A的dont care也是对应的啊,而且这句话也是说政府在印钱的时候都不考虑到inflation。。


希望大家帮我解释一下,谢谢

请看你的理解 ”政府在印钱的时候都不考虑到inflation“ 和A选项的差异 "政府不考虑inflation"
这里很明显缺了个前提,什么时候不考虑? 印钱的时候!
说不定政府在做别的政策时会考虑呢?


而且 government will tend to finance its deficits by increasing the money supply with... 这句话强调的是政府政策的不当,和C很吻合,with后面是不当的原因,重心在前面的政策不当

我的理解是A does sth with insufficient regard for B 是说A在做某事的时候,没有充分考虑到B。

government will tend to finance its deficits by increasing the money supply with insufficient regard for whether there is enough room for economic growth ... 政府增加货币供应的时候考虑不周,忽略了考虑是否经济有足够的发展空间来承受这些增加的货币供应。所以说和C 选项careless in formulating its economic policies 一致。

A选项 government does not usually care whether or not inflation increases政府通常不考虑是否有通涨。 不考虑和考虑不周是完全不同的概念。 原文的意思是考虑不周with insufficient regard 对应答案careless formulating
