2. The old economic saw cuts true: there is no such thing as a free lunch, and there is no
costless way to fund government spending.

costless in 2005 because of the superb results we had in our other insurance activities, particularly at GEICO.
尽管如此我们的浮存金仍然无需支付任何成本,这主要是由于我们其它保险业务尤其是GEICO的杰出经营所创造的超级成果。
