Thosecuts would come primarily from defense and domestic spending programs - without thebenefit of new revenue. So it's a spending side only approach, it leaves us with a veryspending heavy strategy for deficit reduction at a time when we're still struggling to come outof our recession. Such "brute force" spending cuts could hurt social programs for unemployedand lower income Americans and hamper the country's military readiness.

这部分开支削减主要从国防和内需项目上来——因此这部分的国家税收也就随之消失了。所以其实无论怎样做都是开支，我们只能采取沉重的开支策略以削减赤字，虽然经济危机的坎儿我们还没过去。这种开支削减会让我们喘不过气，影响社会运转，伤害到失业或低收入人群的利益，同时也会影响美国的军事备战状态。还有一些经济学家警告说，政治僵局可能会导致另一轮债务债务评级下调，______________________。
