如果骄傲没被现实大海冷能拍下
又怎会懂得要多努力
才走得到远方
如果梦想不曾坠落悬崖
千钧一发
又怎会晓得执着的人
有隐形翅牓
把眼泪装在心上
会开出勇敢的花

最初的梦想紧握在手上
最想要去的地方
怎么能在半路就放
最初的梦想绝对会到达
实现了真的渴望
才能够算到过了天堂
绝对会到达

【ECO】
America's economy
Ticking up
America's economy grew by 5.7% at the end of 2009. Yet it remainsvulnerable

Jan 29th 2010 | WASHINGTON, DC| From The Economist online


AFTER a tough start to 2010, Barack Obama could nothave asked for better news on the economy to distract attention from hispolitical difficulties. In the fourth quarter of last year American GDP grew byan impressive 5.7%, at an annual rate, the best quarterly performance since2003. Expansion was driven by growth in private inventories and an increase inexports. For all of 2009 output declined by 2.4%, but for Americans weary fromtwo years of declining employment, the fourth-quarter figure offers a clearsignal that the worst is over.

Yet only cautious celebration is in order(1). There arereasons to doubt that the impressive performance in a single quarter will berepeated in the coming months. Weak fundamentals will prevent the Americaneconomy from sustaining that fast pace of growth. Of the 5.7% increase in realoutput, 3.4 percentage points came from inventory changes, as firms which hadoperated on a shoestring(1) in the recession built inventories back to normallevels. That brief buying spree(2) brought some workers back to assembly lines,but unless a new source of demand arises the boost from restocking will fadeand growth will slow.

There are already signs of a loss of momentum(3).According to Macroeconomic Advisers, a consultancy, most of the inventory boostcame in October, when growth roared ahead at a 16.4% annual rate. By November,growth had already quietened substantially. And throughout the fourth quarterthe economy has continued to shed jobs. It is difficult to sustain growth whenemployment is not rising.

Nor is it clear where new demand might arise(2). As theGDP report makes plain, personal consumption remains extremely weak;consumption rose by just 2.0% for the quarter, below the 2.8% increase of theprevious three months. Spending will probably remain subdued throughout 2010.According to a recent IMF research note, the crisis and recession significantlydamaged household wealth, suggesting that savings rates will rise in arecovery. The effect on consumption may be to trim 3% off(4) GDP relative topre-crisis levels. Indeed, the fourth-quarter savings rate ticked up to 4.6%,from 4.5% during the previous period. New demand growth will have to comeelsewhere.

Investment may also disappoint in 2010, because ofovercapacity. Oversupply in both residential and commercial property hasdiscouraged investment in the sectors and meant that construction employment isnot rising. Housing starts continue to languish(5) at around a third of normallevels. Industrial-capacity use is similarly well below pre-recession levels.Until most existing capacity is put to productive use, there is little reasonfor businesses to make new investments.

Nor does it help that government economic support willfade during 2010(3). Mark Zandi, an economist with Moody’s Economy.com, estimatesthat the federal stimulus contributed about two percentage points of growth inthe fourth quarter. That will drop below one percentage point by mid-year andfall to nothing thereafter. State budget cuts will also be a drain on output,as they have been for most of the recession. Drops in state-government spendingsubtracted 0.1% from output for all of 2009.

And even the fourth quarter's spirited performance maybe overstated. Third-quarter growth was originally reported at 3.5%, only to berevised down later to 2.2%.

Nonetheless, the performance of the American economyin the fourth quarter is encouraging, suggesting firmly that America haspulled free of recession. Yet caution is in order. If the response is to cutback quickly on fiscal and monetary support for the economy, this flash ofgrowth could disappear as quickly as it emerged.
