as japan learned in the 1990s, fiscal stimulus packages aren't cost-free.
正如日本在上世纪90年代得到的教训一样,财政刺激措施并非全无代价。
fiscal stimulus packages that seemed sufficient two months ago may be too small, and too slow to take effect.
两个月前看起来足够的财政刺激方案,现在看起来可能数额太小,而收效也太慢。
but some economists say income-tax cuts would be more effective than fiscal stimulus packages that eye only specific areas.
但一些经济学家认为,削减所得税比财 政刺激方案更能有效提振经济,因为后者仅着眼于某些特定领域。
