32、down Hammered the U.S. EconomyAHow much have the government shutdown and the default threat cost us? Before the latest congressional fierce debate over government spending, the U.S. federal deficit was shrinking and seemed to shrivel even more in the near future. As a percentage of the nations gross
33、 domestic product, the cash shortfall had dropped by half in the past two years, according to StandardPoors senior credit analyst Marie Cavanaugh, who heads the ratings team in charge of assessing the U.S. credit rating.BIn other words, the United States was on track to slash its deficit and enjoy t
34、he spoils of its growing financial recovery-until the shutdown, which has socked (重击) the economy in the nose and soured investors confidence everywhere. “Earlier this year, we raised our outlook for the U.S. from negative to stable based on the ability of Congress to negotiate its way out of the fi
35、scal cliff, the nations strengthening economic recovery and the fact that the nations deficit had fallen by half of the 2011 level,“ Cavanaugh told Newsweek just before Congress cobbled together (胡乱拼凑) a last-minute deal.CNow the same ratings agency estimates that the government shutdown knocked 24
36、billion out of the U.S. economy in just two weeks.That is more than 1.5 billion a day. Essentially, the fighting over spending leaves America with less to spend. “The bottom line is the government shutdown hurt the U.S. economy,“ stated SPs chief economist Beth Ann Bovino, on the heels of an elevent
37、h-hour budget compromise that effectively delays key fiscal decisions until next year.D“In September, we expected 3 percent annualized growth in the fourth quarter, because we thought politicians would have learned from 2011 and taken steps to avoid things like a government shutdown and the possibil
38、ity of a sovereign default.“ (In 2011, consumer confidence hit a 31-year low; just this week a Gallup poll similarly showed investor confidence dropping to its lowest level in almost two years. This is probably not a coincidence, as both polls took place during congressional standoffs.)ESP, which ha
39、s been the only ratings agency to slash the nations top-flight credit rating (also in 2011), now expects this years fourth quarter GDP to be closer to 2 percent. That is, if the U.S. is lucky. “With full expectations that consumer confidence will continue to decline suddenly amid the short turnaroun
40、d for politicians to negotiate some sort of lasting deal,“ Bovino predicts, “if people are afraid that the government policy brinkmanship (边缘政策) will resurface and, with it, the risk of another shutdown or worse, theyll remain afraid to open up their checkbooks.“FCavanaugh says the agency estimates
41、that for every week the government was shut down, roughly 0.3 percent of the nations GDP was destroyed. Not really a good thing for a country that, until recently, “was running one of the highest deficits the world has seen since World War II,“ according to Nikola Swann, Cavanaughs predecessor and t
42、he credit analyst who led the team that voted the U.S. credit rating down in 2011.GSwann, who tracked U.S. fiscal health for some time, traces much of the trouble back to 2001, when the September I1 attacks led to a downturn in the nations economic growth and soaring spending in the lead-up to the w
43、ar on terror. “The U.S. did begin to recover by 2007“, he says, “but then it was hit by the financial crisis. By 2009, the nations cash deficit-the annual gap between spending and revenue as a percentage of its GDP-had swelled to 11 percent.“H“Compare that to a surplus of 3 percent of GDP in 2000, a
44、t present, the cash deficit has eased to under 5 percent,“ Cavanaugh says, “but remains at the high end.“ “Remember, the Clinton administration benefitted from very high rates of economic growth, real rates that were around 3 percent to 5 percent of GDP,“ Swann says. “We increased spending but never
45、 got back to the high growth rates.“IBovino warns the U.S. still has much to lose if its fiscal game of chicken doesnt end. As the debt ceiling deadline neared, SP was minutes away from automatically demoting (怕降级) Americas credit rating and tipping it into “selective default“. (The only other count
46、ry to have “SD“ status is Grenada.) Fitch, a ratingsagency competitor of SP, already announced it was putting the U.S. on “credit rating watch negative“, citing a lack of “timely“ action by Congress to pass a budget.JLike a troubled teenager, America is repeatedly self-harming. “It is simply not a characteristic of the most highly rated sovereigns that you have to worry about them not paying their debts,“ said John Chambers,
