就约瑟夫·C·斯特恩伯格的专栏《法国骚乱？这里也可能发生》（政治经济学，10月9日）而言：法国债务危机是一个完美的例子，说明当政客更关心保住自己的职位而不是履行职责时会发生什么。他们似乎没听过“当你掉进坑里时，就别再挖了”这句话。罗伯特·M·苏斯曼
Regarding Joseph C. Sternberg’s column “Riots in France? They Could Happen Here” (Political Economics, Oct. 9): The French debt crisis is a perfect example of what can happen when politicians are more concerned with keeping their jobs than doing their jobs. They don’t seem to have heard the expression “when you’re in a hole, stop digging”. Robert M. Sussman
