Topics
Jody Arrington: 我认为这项预算案能够刺激经济增长，增加国防和边境安全投入，并大幅削减开支。我相信它能为美国带来繁荣。 Hakeem Jeffries: 我坚决反对这项预算案，因为它会削减医疗补助，损害弱势群体的利益，并为富人提供税收优惠。我认为这是对美国人民的背叛。 Erin Dalmore: 我观察到民主党人正在利用一切手段来反对这项预算案，他们认为这项法案会加剧赤字，并导致财富从低收入人群向富人转移。虽然共和党内部也有反对声音，但特朗普总统正在施压以确保法案通过。 Sandhya Kaur: 我非常担忧这项预算案对可再生能源行业的影响。我认为削减对绿色能源的激励措施将损害美国的全球竞争力，并阻碍我们应对能源危机的努力。我们应该共同努力，支持所有形式的能源发展，而不是设置障碍。
