S*******h 发帖数: 7021 | 2 白宫周二(5月23日)公布的川普2018年预算显示,未来十年川普政府将会削减很多福
利预算,包括食品券和医疗补助,以力图在十年内平衡联邦预算。白宫认为,这样做是
为了保护纳税人的钱,减少那些变相鼓励人们不去工作的政府福利项目。
避免滋养靠吃福利生活
综合《今日美国》、《华盛顿邮报》的报导,这份数额为4.094万亿美元的联邦预算案
,要求在2018年减少对医疗补助(Medicaid)、食品券等福利项目的支出。
这份预算还包括在10年间削减3.6万亿美元的支出,其中大头是如果白宫废除奥巴马医
保和其它一些改革措施之后从医疗补助计划中削减的8000亿美元,以及从食品券计划中
削减的约1900亿美元。
白宫表明,削减福利的目的实际上是要促使那些有能力工作但又滥用福利的人找工作,
而不是靠吃福利生活,避免美国走向过度依赖福利的不健康政治环境。把纳税人的钱用
到实处,不能随便花出去。
白宫预算主任穆瓦尼(Mick Mulvaney)对川普政府削减福利预算给予了解释,称这是
美国政府第一次从纳税人的角度著想的预算案。
众议院议长瑞安也认为,川普的这项预算是将美国纳税人放在了更优先位置。

根据这份报告,从2021年开始,家庭年收入在1万元至3万元之间的美国民众,便会开始
面临增税,而接下来几年加税幅度还将剧增。

回头路的地步,没有一方可以找到退路。
分析指出,到了8月30日,白宫将开始向价值2000亿美元的中国货征收10%的关税,货品
从衣服到电视机零件到冰箱,再加上早前已经实施向中国500亿美元的进口征收关税,
中国向美国输出的货物,大概有一半将遭到征收关税的命运。
中国大概只有7个星期的时间,要就是与美国达成妥协,要就是跟特朗普周旋到底。在
国内政治压力下,中国主席习近平也不能被视为弱者,他已誓言要以牙还牙。面对特朗
普第一波的关税攻势,中国已经作出报复,而且报复的对象,都是特朗普支持者的关键
州份,如艾奥瓦州的大豆以及肯德基州的美国威士忌。
但如果要报复美国的每一次关税攻势,中国将被迫向美国征收更高的关税,或采取捣乱
性的行为,例如取消收购合约,或鼓励国内消费者杯葛美国货,或设下更多制度性的壁
垒。但这不但会激怒特朗普落实他的威胁,向所有中国的货品征收关税,甚至会对两国
人民释放民族情绪,从而加深双方对地缘政治争霸的斗争。
