2019年美国“欠费”一万亿？美国网友愤怒了..._风闻

2019年7月15日报道，美国行政管理和预算局(OMB)在年中评估报告中称：“2019财年的美国联邦政府财政赤字修正为一万亿美元。”

毫不讳言，这样一个评估结果在美国网友中引起了一阵惊恐，无他，这个数字是美国大萧条时代以来的最高水平。

“The then-candidate also promised to heavily scale back the federal debt, which has now exceeded $22tn.

这位当时的候选人（特朗普）还承诺大幅削减联邦债务，（但是）目前已经超过22万亿美元。

His own advisers knew that both promises were impossible, and they morphed into smaller numbers along the trail.

他自己的顾问们知道，这两项承诺都不可能实现，而且在这一过程中，这些承诺还在不断缩水！

“Where’s the “promises made, promises kept” banner now, eh, Trump?

“许下承诺，信守承诺”的横幅现在在哪里，特朗普？

2、James C

Tax cuts in a rising economy with no offsetting spending reductions equals this mess. It is that simple.

在不断增长的经济体中，如果减税措施没有抵消支出削减，就会出现这种混乱局面。事情就是这么简单。

I think it’s time to consider selling the White House to the Trump family. As ever, federal property has been privately appropriated!

我认为是时候考虑把白宫卖给特朗普家族了。和以往一样，联邦财产被私人侵吞！

3、Darrell

Our trade deficit is at the highest in America’s history also… what a great combination! But the question is, what is left of the United States now?

我们的贸易赤字在美国历史上也是最高的…多好的组合啊！但是问题来了，美国现在还剩下什么？

4、Charles

“Don’t sweat it! I’l just ’tariff’ more countries! Mo’ money Mo’ money! I studied Econ at Trump U.” --DT

“别担心？我只要对更多的国家征收关税就行了！更多的钱！我是在特朗普大学学的经济学。”- - - 特朗普

5、John

We will have the best deficits, deficits so large and bigly, the most beautiful deficits, yuge.

我们将拥有最好的赤字，最多伟大的赤字，最漂亮的赤字。

Make America great again! Go to hell, President T!

让美国再次伟大！去死吧，T总统！（注：“T总统”是特朗普在美国的绰号）

6、Darrell

Donald is running the country like his bankrupt businesses.

唐纳德像经营他那破产的企业一样经营着这个国家。

It worries me that there is no one who can be deceived by us!

我担心没有人能乖乖的被我们欺骗！

7、infinite truth

Deficit has gone from 6 trillion at the turn of the century to 22 trillion…and what do we have to show for it? Its like America took a home equity loan to fix the house,spent the money,did no improvements…and soon the house will fall apart and we’ll have to borrow more.

赤字已从世纪之交的6万亿美元增加到了22万亿美元。我们要展示什么呢？这就像美国用房屋净值贷款来修房子，花了钱，却没有什么改善……房子很快就要倒塌了，我们不得不借更多的钱。

Trumps deficit nearing 2 Trillion and no complaints from the Republicans ’ That’s funny'

特朗普（贡献）的赤字接近2万亿美元，共和党人并没有抱怨，“这很有趣”

HAIL TRUMP… Hail the GOP…We’ve created the BIGGEST Deficit EVER!We’re the BEST.

万岁特朗普……万岁共和党……我们创造了有史以来最大的赤字！我们是最好的！

Make America great again!

让美国继续伟大！

当然，相较于对特朗普的单纯吐槽，一些美国网友针对“共和党”的分析，可谓入木三分：

1、jose

It always happens when repubs are in power….. They always run up the bills and don’t care about deficits when they are in power.

共和党人掌权的时候总是出现这种事…他们总是增加开支，当他们掌权时并不关心赤字。

Turned out the Republicans only cared about the deficits when they aren’t in power. They were more than happy to add 1 1/2 trillion to the deficit, so they could give the wealthy a huge tax cut.

事实证明，共和党人只关心他们不执政期间的赤字。他们非常乐意增加1.5万亿美元的赤字，这样他们就可以给富人大幅减税。

2、Steve C

It perfect example of republican policy called starve the beast. Give big breaks to rich and corporations. Then when huge deficits say must slash any program that don’t help rich.

这是共和党政策的完美范例，叫做“饿死野兽”。给富人和公司大的优惠。当有巨额赤字时意味着必须削减任何无法帮助富人的项目。

History shows that Republicans always creates Recessions, and the Democrats are left to fix it… then the Republicans pat themselves on the back, and claiming they can do a better job… and it recycles again and again.

历史表明，共和党人总是制造经济衰退，然后留给民主党人解决问题。然后共和党人拍拍自己的背，声称他们可以做得更好……这种情形一次又一次的反复出现。

3、Jim M

Fiscally conservative Republicans are no hiding. Not a peep. It only matters when a Democrat is in office.

在财政上保守的共和党人，（对于赤字）没有任何隐瞒。一点儿也没有。（赤字）这种事，只在民主党执政时才重要。

GOP deficit financed tax cut to corporations reduced government income while not producing the +3% GDP growth that they claimed. US deficit is $22 Trillion and growing even during this 10+ years of business recovery. Imagine how bad it will get when the next recession come.

共和党的财政赤字为企业减税提供了资金，而政府收入减少了，却没有带来他们声称的GDP3%的增长。美国的赤字是22万亿美元，甚至在这10多年的商业复苏期间还在增加。想象一下，当下一次衰退来临时，情况会有多糟糕。

tRump is trying to drive us into bankruptcy. Can someone please explain to him how to run our country without destroying it?

特朗普正试图把我们推向破产。谁能给他解释一下如何在不破坏我们国家的情况下管理好它？

4、Paul

@Jim M，Impossible! Now the U.S. economy has reached a rather dangerous edge!

@Jim M，不可能的！现在美国经济已经达到了相当危险的边缘！

Once again Republicans recklessly spend our money while drastically cutting our revenues. Move over Reagan recession and the Great Republican recession of 08, here comes the trump recession.

共和党人又一次不顾一切地花掉我们的钱，同时大幅削减收入。在里根时期的经济衰退和共和党08年的大衰退之后，特朗普的经济衰退来了。

Do people really think tRump cares about The US deficit is projected to surpass $1tn in 2019, the largest it’s been outside of the four-year period following the Great Recession. Remember people this is the person that has lost more money than any other person. However he is making up for it now since he has con everyone and been in office.MAGA McDonalds And Golf Again

你们真的以为特朗普关心美国的赤字吗？2019年，预计美国的赤字将超过1万亿美元，是大衰退之后四年以来的最高水平。记住，这个人损失的钱比其他人都多。然而，他现在正在弥补损失，因为他已经欺骗了所有人并在掌权。让麦当劳和高尔夫重新伟大。

5、Angel of Truth

This actually surprises No one! Fact: EVERY Republican administration since Eisenhower has INCREASED federal spending and the national debt! The true mystery is how the republican party ever got the “reputation’ for being " fiscally responsible”

事实上没有人会感到惊讶！事实是：自艾森豪威尔以来，历届共和党政府都增加了联邦开支和国债！真正怪异的是，共和党是如何获得“财政上负责任”的“名声”的。

Borrow money to pay the rich! That’s probably why Republicans are honored!

借钱帮有钱人付账！这可能就是共和党人受到（舆论）尊敬的原因！

6、John

Instead of “the tax cuts will pay for themselves,” they could have just told the truth “the tax cuts will enrich your boss and his shareholders while mortgaging your kids’ futures!”

不是“减税自有回报的”，他们本该告诉你真相，“减税会让你的老板和他的股东变得更富有，但是抵押了你孩子的未来！”

We have become slaves of Wall Street!

我们成了华尔街的奴隶！

7、SR

Folks… The man on the right is Larry Kudlow, Director of the National Economic Council under President Donald Trump. Guess what? He has no Economics degree at all.

伙计们……库德洛是特朗普总统手下的国家经济委员会主任。你猜怎么着？他根本没有经济学学位。

Oh, and by the way… He’s famous for his many bad predictions, especially the one I remember oh so well which was that the subprime issue was not going to be a problem and to go ahead a buy stocks. Months later the stock market crashed and brought the worst recession in 70 years.

顺便说一下……他以很多糟糕的预测而出名，我记得尤其清楚是的那次（2007年次贷危机？）预测次级抵押贷款不会成为问题，他会继续买股票。几个月后，股市崩盘，导致了70年来最严重的经济衰退。

But now, under the guidance of such a fool, Trump has initiated a trade dispute with the world’s first industrial country.

但现在，在这样一个傻瓜的指导下，特朗普与世界第一工业国开始了贸易争端。

I think it will be a huge strategic mistake! We will lose our jobs, our lives and our pensions, and the capitalists who support Trump will make a lot of money!

我认为这将是一个巨大的战略错误！我们将失去工作、生活和养老金，支持特朗普的资本家将赚大钱！

虽然，对于美国网友“SR”有关库德洛的故事及吐槽，老铁也不甚了解，但是他评论中的有一句话我却十分赞同：特朗普与世界第一工业国的贸易争端，将是一个巨大的战略错误！
