尽管美国财政部和国际货币��金组织在十年前警告面临金融危机的东亚各国政府救市有风险并告诫它们不要提高利率，但今天美国却全然不顾对其他国家有关道德危险的教导，收购了巨额的（不良）贷款，并降低了利率。
While the US Treasury and the IMF warned East Asian countries facing financial crises ten years ago against the risks of bail-outs and told them not to raise their interest rates, the US ignored its own lectures about moral hazard effects, bought up billions in mortgages, and lowered interest rates.
