Maya MacGuineas: 作为负责任联邦预算委员会的主席,我认为美国面临着严峻的财政挑战。新通过的法案将导致数万亿美元的额外债务,而我们的债务增长速度已经超过了经济增长速度,这是不可持续的。社会保障和医疗保险等项目的自动增长加剧了这一问题,但政客们却不愿做出改变。我认为,我们需要提高税收、削减开支,并改革社会保障和医疗保险体系。此外,我们应该对我们想要减少的东西征税,例如碳排放,而不是对我们想要增加的东西征税。遗产税也是一个不错的选择,因为它不会对接受者造成伤害。我希望华盛顿能够减少两极分化,更加团结一致地应对这些挑战。 Scott Galloway: 我认为政府应该防止公地悲剧,应该从长远考虑。最好的总统是在当下被批评,但当我们回顾时,会认为他们是在思考种树的人,而他们永远不会坐在树荫下。我们需要提高当选代表的年龄下限,并降低年龄上限,以确保有更多年轻人参与决策。 Ed Aslan: 我认为政客们并不是想把美国搞垮,而是他们需要获得选票。专制政权更容易做出长期决策和牺牲,因为他们不必担心每两年或四年就要受欢迎。我们需要找到方法,使我们的政客们不易受到短期主义的影响。 term limits 可能会有所帮助。
