Ben Meiselas: 作为MeidasTouch的主持人,我认为特朗普和共和党推出的预算案是一场灾难,而且民调显示民众对这个法案的支持率极低。如果这个预算案通过,预计将有1500万到1600万美国人失去医疗保险。更糟糕的是,这个预算案将导致美国底层80%的人口更加贫困,而富人则会从中受益。此外,特朗普内阁成员在听证会上甚至无法提供预算的具体细节,他们提交的预算案就像一个404错误页面,内容缺失。我认为特朗普在商业上和现在在预算案上一样,只是随意编造数字进行营销。特朗普政府的种种行为,包括国土安全部的事件和外交失败,可能分散了人们对预算案的注意力。即使发生了像参议员被捕这样的事件,我们仍然要关注这个灾难性的预算案。 Brendan Boyle: 作为民主党预算委员会的成员,我认为共和党对医疗补助和可负担医疗法案的削减,将导致1600万美国人失去医疗保障。共和党的税收政策实际上是为最富有的1%的人减税,而底层三分之一的美国人会因此损失金钱。这个预算案让穷人更穷,富人更富,中产阶级原地踏步。一些自称温和派的共和党众议员在众议院投票支持预算案后,又致信参议院共和党人,批评该法案会损害他们的选区。但我从未见过共和党众议员站出来反对他们的领导层。参议院共和党人不太可能采取与众议院共和党人不同的行动,因为他们害怕特朗普。共和党人虽然私下抱怨,但最终会因为害怕特朗普而投票支持。特朗普经常说一些荒谬的话,但他仍然掌握着权力。共和党人放弃了自己的权力,没有保护人民。他们害怕特朗普,因为他们担心在初选中被他抨击。预算案中医疗保健的削减是美国历史上最大规模的,这将对所有美国人的医疗保健产生负面影响。由于医院倒闭和急诊室排队时间延长,所有美国人的医疗保健都将受到负面影响。这个预算案还会影响学生贷款还款计划、学前教育项目和营养援助项目。最重要的是,这个预算案将导致美国国债大幅增加,这将影响所有美国人,导致抵押贷款和汽车贷款的利率可能会上升。
