口语节目地址：http://bulo.hujiang.com/menu/2120/item/693106/With a budget deficit of $1 trillion and counting, you might think what America needs at the moment is a strong dose of austerity, a la Europe. But the prospect of new measures to boost government revenue and rein in spending is causing no end of alarm. Talk now, especially on Wall Street, is about the perils of America's so-called fiscal cliff as economic impact of a range of tax increases and state spending cuts due to take effect on January 1st.
Some say the impacts on American households and businesses could be enough to push the US back into recession. That's why it's been another torrid day for shares on Wall Street after Wednesday's sharp falls, which was the biggest for a year, as I heard from Joseph Saluzzi at Themis Trading in New Jersey.
For the US-wise, it concerns me when it comes to the tax policy. Now that the election is over and the issue now becomes what happens to rates on capital gains and dividends and signals are that everything is going up. People are nervous but there's obviously then in addition to that, there's, you know, European growth concern.
Yesterday's news is about Germany falling in their problems as well. And then today they were talking about the Greek financial aid may be being delayed for another week or two. So those issues haven't gone away but the new issues now are, OK, the fiscal cliff is getting closer and now we have these tax problems. So what do we do?看到一兆美元的预算赤字和账务，你可能会认为，美国是时候像欧洲一样，实行强硬的财政紧缩政策了。但提高政府收入和控制开支的新政策，正在引发一系列的经济问题。目前，美国经济正处于所谓的财政悬崖的崩溃边缘，这一现象以华尔街尤甚。而论其根本，皆因1月1日生效的新政所致，其中包括加大税收力度，缩减财政开支。
有些人说，经济政策对美国家庭和商业的影响之大，足以令美国经济再次堕入萧条的深渊。而这一言论又引发了继周三华尔街股市大跌之后股市的又一次动荡。周三的股价暴跌程度堪称全年之最。来听听对新泽西Themis交易公司约瑟夫•萨鲁茨先生的采访。
以美国的行事作风看来，税收政策着实令人揪心。现在总统选举已经结束，问题的焦点变成对资本增值与股息的评定，营造出百废俱兴的景象。民众很焦虑，但雪上加霜的是，欧洲经济增长依然让人担忧。
据昨日新闻报道，德国经济亦深陷泥潭。而今日新闻又报道说希腊的财政援助可能会再推迟一到两周。旧问题尚未解决，新问题又接踵而至。财政悬崖已经迫近，现在我们又出现税收问题。我们该怎么办呢？
