Topics
Galen Druk: 本期节目讨论了美国债务上限协议的内容、民调结果的矛盾之处以及该法案未能在下周一前通过的潜在后果。还讨论了共和党领导的州出台的与性取向和性别认同相关的法律,以及美国民众对此的看法。 Kaylee Rogers: 对债务上限问题的民调结果相互矛盾,原因在于问题措辞和公众对这一问题的理解程度。对LGBTQ问题的民调结果也存在分歧,这反映出公众意见缺乏共识,并且会受到多种因素的影响,例如政治信仰、宗教信仰和对这些问题的了解程度。 Karen Travers: 白宫和众议院议长麦卡锡就暂停债务上限和削减自由支配性支出达成协议。该协议暂停债务上限至2025年1月1日,并包含一些适度的支出上限,例如提高领取食品援助福利者必须每周工作至少20小时的年龄,以及恢复学生贷款还款。白宫在谈判中取得胜利,但总统没有庆祝,直到投票结果出来。协议对美国债务问题的实际影响可能不大,白宫试图淡化协议中支出削减的影响。 Monica Potts: 如果债务上限协议未通过,将对美国经济造成严重影响,包括联邦雇员可能拿不到工资,以及依靠联邦政府资金的数百万美国人将受到影响。如果债务上限协议未通过,可能会导致经济衰退,并对就业率造成负面影响。在共和党领导的州,关于性别和性取向的限制性法律的通过得到了许多选民的支持,这促使他们继续推进此类立法。没有高中毕业的白人女性的预期寿命下降是一个值得关注的趋势,这与经济状况、社会环境和个人选择等多种因素有关。

They also discuss the significant increase in laws involving sexuality and gender in Republican-led states and what Americans think about them. And Galen speaks with senior writer Monica Potts about her new book, "The Forgotten Girls."
