号称第一经济大国的美国已成为当今世界最大的债务国。到1989年末,美国的对外净负债额已高达6637亿美元,比1988年猛增25％;国内债务总额高达9.7万亿美元,比1988年上升了7.3％。美国内债和外债的急剧膨胀正成为威胁美国经济稳定增长的一大隐患。因此,减少国家的债务,已成为布什政府当前急待解决的重大问题之一。

The United States, known as the first economic power, has become the world’s largest debtor nation. By the end of 1989, the net foreign debt of the United States had reached as high as 663.7 billion U.S. dollars, a 25% increase over 1988; the total domestic debt was as high as 9.7 trillion U.S. dollars, an increase of 7.3% over 1988. The rapid expansion of U.S. domestic debt and foreign debt is becoming a major risk to the steady growth of the U.S. economy. Therefore, reducing the country’s debt has become one of the major issues that the Bush administration is currently pressing to solve.
