1: Democrats are delighted that Mr Ryan is returning to the limb he put his party out on last year, when House Republicans overwhelmingly backed his budget proposal only to be lambasted by Democrats for “ending Medicare as we know it” and prioritising tax cuts for the rich over benefits for the poor. 2: A Democrat who stuck to that script won a by-election in what had long been a safe Republican seat in upstate New York last year. 3: The party has already launched a similar campaign this year, denouncing the Republicans’ “Medicare madness”. [...]114: Republicans, for their part, insist that their forthright stance, in contrast to the Senate Democrats’ failure to pass a budget for the past three years, will earn them respect from voters. 5: Mitt Romney, the probable Republican nominee seems to agree: he has heartily endorsed Mr Ryan’s approach.

1:民主党乐见瑞恩先生又使共和党像去年那样重新陷于困境，那时议院共和党人以压倒性的姿态支持他的预算草案，却被民主党以“正如我们都知道的那样会终结医疗保险制度”和以削减富人缴税为先而不是造福于穷人为理由痛斥。2:一位民主党人去年因坚持这份提案而赢得了递补选举，稳稳地称为了纽约北部的一名共和党人。3:民主党今年又发起了一场类似的竞选，公开谴责共和党是“医疗保险制度疯子”。[...]114:对于共和党人来说，则坚持认为他们鲜明的立场会为他们赢来选民的尊重，这与参议院民主党人三年都未能通过一项预算形成鲜明对比。5:大有希望的共和党候选人米特?罗姆尼似乎非常同意这点——他热切支持瑞恩先生的提案。

But surely if China’s property market was a burst bubble, even a forthright relaxation of controls would not reflate it? After America’s property prices began falling in earnest, policymakers tried in vain for years to revive them. Japan has been trying to perk up prices for more than 20 years.

不过毫无疑问，如果中国房地产市场是破裂的泡沫，就算是直接放松管制也不会让它再膨胀的。美国房地产价格开始下跌之后，政策制定者们试了好几年来重振它们都于事无补。日本试着恢复价格都已经试了20多年了。
