那么，希腊为何会陷入如此困境？欧洲国家究竟做了些什么？而中国又是如何帮助希腊走出困境的呢？ 2007年，美国爆发了次贷危机，这场危机迅速波及欧盟、日本等地区，并最终演变为一场全球性的金融危机。金融危机对世界经济造成了深远的影响，希腊 无疑是最早受到冲击的国家之一。 2009年，全球发生了一场震动世界的大事件，发达国家希腊面临了前所未有的债务危机，几乎走到了破产的边缘。就在此时，欧洲各国纷纷视希腊为累赘， 有些国家甚至在考虑为稳定欧元，是否应该将希腊踢出欧元区。然而，令所有人惊讶的是，最终帮助希腊摆脱困境的是中国。 除了希腊，葡萄牙、爱尔兰、西班牙等国也面临债务危机，许多国家的经济状况堪忧。希腊政府采取了一些紧缩措施，如减少公共支出、改革税收等，但这 些措施收效甚微。最终，希腊不得不向其他国家和组织寻求援助。尽管许多国家同情希腊，但由于其信用评级低下，援助的可行性受到质疑。更有人提出， 要将希腊从欧元区中剔除，认为对其援助无济于事。 到2009年12月，希腊宣布，他们已经陷入了财政赤字的困境，几乎到了破产的边缘。在此之前，很多国家认为，虽然希腊遭遇金融危机，但凭借其强大的经 济基础，希腊能够通过调整财政自我恢复 ...

智通财经APP获悉，若想推动参议院通过第二任期核心立法议程，唐纳德·特朗普不得不直面更严苛的"选民"——日益膨胀的美国国债持有者。这 位总统刚在众议院以微弱优势通过特朗普"大而美"减税法案，却可能陷入参议院更复杂的博弈：蓝州共和党人就税收优惠讨价还价，保守派议员 在支出问题上临阵倒戈，而债券市场正用收益率飙升发出赤字警报。 据了解，法案通过过程充满戏剧性：为争取纽约、加州等高税州共和党人支持，2017年税改中设定的州和地方税抵扣上限从1万美元被抬升至4万 美元。但周三30年期美债收益率跳涨12个基点，为共和党强硬派提供了新筹码。俄亥俄州议员沃伦·戴维森作为两名反对者之一表示："债券市场 已表明态度。" 参议院多数党领袖约翰·图恩定下6月攻坚时间表，但强调最终法案必须"实质性削减支出"。无党派国会预算办公室此前预警，即便没有新税改， 2029年债务/GDP比也将创历史新高。穆迪在降级声明中直言，美国经济实力"难以抵消财政指标恶化"。 图1 众议院通过的法案包含针对小费工作者、购车族、老年人等关键选民群体的税收减免，但参议院共和党人已放出削减开支的风声。南卡罗来纳州 议员拉尔夫·诺曼直言："我们需要多少次警钟才能 ...
