回复@Tonymok: 货币如蜜终归是水，透支时再爽可到还债时只会加倍痛苦//@Tonymok:回复@一切都是相对的:But I have an uncomfortable feeling that this prosperity isn't something on which we can base our hopes for the future. No nation in history has ever survived a tax burden that reached a third of its national income. Today, 37 cents out of every dollar earned in this country is the tax collector's share, and yet our government continues to spend 17 million dollars a day more than the government takes in. We haven't balanced our budget 28 out of the last 34 years. We've raised our debt limit three times in the last twelve months, and now our national debt is one and a half times bigger than all the combined debts of all the nations of the world. We have 15 billion dollars in gold in our treasury； we don't own an ounce. Foreign dollar claims are 27.3 billion dollars. And we've just had announced that the dollar of 1939 will now purchase 45 cents in its total value.
但是，我觉得不妥。这个“繁荣”不是我们所希望的未来。历史上没有任何国家，在税负高到国民所得的三分之一，还可以活着的。如今，每赚一美元就有37美分要上交国库作为税收。而我们的政府每天超支1700万美元。过去34年，有28年预算没有平衡过。在过去的一年时间里，我们已经把债务上限提高了三倍。如今，我们国家的债务是全世界国家债务总和的1.5倍。我们的国库只有150亿元的黄金，但一盎司都不属于我们，外国货币占去了273亿。而我们刚刚说，现在一美元购买力总值只相当于1939年的4毛5分钱。
