我作为一名民主党众议员,深刻感受到民众对生活成本高昂的担忧。为了赢得选民的支持,民主党必须将降低民众生活成本作为首要任务。这包括降低税收、控制物价,并创造更多就业机会。 我对特朗普政府上任初期缺乏与民主党进行合作沟通,以及采取强硬的党派立场感到惊讶。我认为,鉴于国会两党席位比例接近,两党合作至关重要。在国家安全、气候变化和移民等问题上,我们应该寻求共同点,而不是一味对抗。 税收改革和移民改革是两大具有两党合作潜力的领域。在税收方面,我们可以围绕州和地方税收抵免(SALT)展开讨论,这将有助于降低中产家庭的税负。在移民问题上,我们可以寻求在加强边境安全和维护国家价值观之间取得平衡。 两党合作能够有效解决财政问题和国家重大议题。过去,我们已经在基础设施建设、芯片法案和退伍军人事务等方面取得了两党合作的成功,这证明了合作的可能性。 取消州和地方税收抵免上限是公平的,因为这避免了对同一笔收入重复征税。新泽西州的居民长期以来一直为联邦政府贡献大量税收,而获得的回报却相对较少。取消上限将有助于减轻新泽西州居民的税收负担。 新泽西州需要降低税收以提高其经济竞争力,并吸引更多企业和居民。我正在制定一项降低房产税和所得税的计划,以减轻民众的经济压力。 如果共和党提出的税收法案对新泽西州有利,我愿意考虑支持。但是,最终的决定取决于法案的具体内容及其对新泽西州的影响。 两党合作对解决国家问题至关重要。我希望两党能够放下分歧,共同努力解决国家面临的挑战。 我反对纽约市新的拥堵税,因为它对通勤者造成了不公平的负担,加剧了交通拥堵和空气污染。我们应该寻求更公平有效的交通解决方案。

Donald Trump began his second term with a flurry of executive orders and bold plans for his House and Senate majorities. Where does that leave Democrats and how can they work with Republicans to get things done? On this episode of All Things, Problem Solvers Caucus Vice Chair Josh Gottheimer (D., N.J.) voices his "surprise" at Donald Trump’s executive orders on Jan. 6th and immigration, explains why he was handing out “SALT shakers” at the inauguration, and lays out the bipartisan possibilities and pitfalls of this next Congress.
