Topics
Caroline Leavitt: 作为白宫新闻秘书,我认为特朗普总统的税收法案对美国经济有积极影响。我们有信心通过该法案节省1.6万亿美元,并且我们的预算管理办公室主任是一位著名的财政鹰派人物,他有能力实现更多的节省。我们将向国会提交我们的撤销方案,进一步证明我们控制赤字的决心。 Wendy Edelberry: 作为布鲁金斯学会的研究员,我认为美国目前的债务规模已经非常庞大,更令人担忧的是,这项法案将使未来十年的借款增加2.4万亿美元。我担心的是,如果投资者认为美国的政策制定者不够成熟,可能会引发财政和金融危机。我认为,为了解决这个问题,美国需要提高税收,因为设计良好的税收政策比借款对经济的长期损害要小。 Steve Bannon: 作为前特朗普顾问,我认为要阻止债务问题,就必须提高税收。富人的税收减免不能再延长,应该让中产阶级和工人阶级受益。我们需要将最高税率恢复到40%,这样才能解决财政问题。 Susan Schmidt: 作为交易所资本资源的投资组合经理,我认为投资者非常关注美国债务水平的上升。特朗普总统的税收法案将进一步增加债务,这让投资者感到紧张,因为债务规模相对于GDP来说太大了。这种不确定性对市场产生了负面影响。
