The impact of the coronavirus on the U. S. economy will be grave; potentially graver than the Great Recession of 2008-2009. JPMorgan Chase projects that gross domestic product may shrink 14 percent between now and the end of June.
No one has a certain template for how to limit the harm. It is both urgent and possible to define the predicament correctly, however. The United States is not confronted with a financial crisis and a follow-on crisis of demand, as in 2008 or 1929. Rather, previously robust consumption and production are being deliberately halted to save lives. Thus, traditional tools of monetary and fiscal stimulus, such as zero interest rates and direct cash aid to households, are unlikely to prove decisive. You can’t shop, or invest in new construction, while on lockdown.
The vital need of everyone in the economy, from the corner drugstore to the local transit authority to the mightiest multinational, is liquidity: credit to meet payroll and other key obligations so as to remain
solvent
until the end of what we all must hope is a finite crisis.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell’s $ 1 trillioninitial proposal seems realistically sized but poorly conceived. Where cash relief must be reserved for the poorest and those newly jobless, his package would deliver less of it to the bottom of the income scale than to the middle. Where the private sector as a whole needs quick and, above all, flexible access to credit, the proposal would assign $150 billion on a sectoral basis, to airlines, hotels and others admittedly hard-hit.
Far better to use the Federal Reserve’s power to act as a lender of last resort, not only to the financial sector, as in past crises—and as it is already doing now—but to business generally, using the existing commercial banking system as intermediary. Congress’s part would be to provide a large pool of capital to support such loans, which, as former Fed official Kevin Warsh and others have suggested, would charge interest and require collateral to protect taxpayers against inevitable losses.
This would both permit and incentivize companies and lenders to shape cash relief in the economically most sustainable manner. It would be self-limiting in duration; presumably the need for emergency credit will dissipate as the emergency does. Like the successful Troubled Asset Relief Program in the Great Recession, this aid, too, would be paid back.
According to the author, the better way to save the private sector is to_________.
选项
A、offer a large pool of capital to the poorest people
B、provide loans in a wider range
C、grant companies in need interest-free loans
D、reform the existing commercial banking system
答案
B
解析
细节题。根据题干定位到第五段第一句。原文指出要利用美联储的权利进行放贷,且范围不仅仅是针对金融业,而是面向所有行业。故答案选[B]。该段第二句指出“国会的作用是提供大量资金支持此类贷款”,并非提供大量资金给最穷的人,[A]是对原文的篡改,故排除。该段最后一句指出这些贷款是要收取利息的,并非无息贷款,故排除[C]选项。[D]选项在原文中未提及,故也排除。
