问题如下:
The most likely argument against high national debt levels is that:
选项:
A. the debt is owed internally to fellow citizens.
B. they create disincentives for economic activity.
C. they may finance investment in physical and human capital.
解释:
B is correct.
The belief is that high levels of debt to GDP may lead to higher future tax rates which may lead to disincentives to economic activity.
考点:Limitation of Fiscal Policy
解析: 财政政策所引发的较高负债如果是欠国人的钱,那么不必担心,因为政府可以通过印发钞票偿还。所以A选项不入选。
高水平的债务与GDP之比可能会导致未来更高的税率,从而抑制经济活动,因此B选项入选。
如果借债的财政支出是用于了投资,投资在了人力资本以及科技方面,那么这会加速一国的经济发展,发展产生的GDP完全足够偿付债务,所以不需要额外担心,所以C选项不入选。
