Daily Quote: Money money money

Published by at 19:35 under Daily Quote

金融风暴中,各种繁复的金融专业词汇满天飞,各种 scheme 、fund 看得人晕头转向。《卫报》上2月13日的一篇文章,用简洁易懂的日常英语介绍了政府救市的多种手段。

Making money cheaper 调低利率,希望贷款利息降低

Lending money to banks 政府借钱给银行,希望银行再借给客户

Giving money to banks 政府向银行注资,希望银行不会垮掉

Insuring against bad loans 政府为坏账提供担保,希望银行摆脱坏账,恢复功能

Spending more money 政府多花钱或少说税,希望个人口袋里钱增多,刺激消费投资

以上各招都不见效的话,就只有最后一招:

Printing more money 政府多印钞票,希望增加市场上货币流通。

    If Gordon was right, we should not have been in this mess. Remember he once said: no more boom and bust. And somehow God decided he had a different plan, he threw the dice and the UK economy tumbled.

    If printing more money still does not solve the problem, the only way out is to rid money all together and go back to barter. lol
