我在华府看世界

华府成為世界政治中心，整个城市仍然十分繁忙， 街头上到处是西装笔挺的路人， 川梭在政府大楼及律师政客所在的办公大楼之间，自从拜登上台之后， 这裡的政治氛围变了许多， 加上华府特区内一直是民主党当市长，為了照顾弱势族群，我们常见壮观的大道上搭起了流浪汉的帐篷 ，也是一道令人惊讶的风景缐。

今天还有一群最匆忙的人群就是我们负责传递讯息的媒体群， 几乎每天都看到站在国会大厦及白宫的电视记者， 向他们的观眾报导即时快速之新闻， 因為时间仓促， 也経常有许多假新闻的出现， 不过有一个现象是可确定， 只要有电视摄影机出现的地方， 政客们都跑得很快， 因為他们要抢镜头。

拜登总统今天在白宫庆祝并感谢参议院通过了一千二百万亿的基建案， 也是新政府上台以来两党能够协调通过的重大议案， 也开啟了数十年来重建国家基建的坦途 ，总统特别感谢那些支持基进案的共和党参议员并亲自打电话表示谢意。

今天的华府显得有些和睦的气氛 ，两大党能够携手合作主要来自选民之压力， 这个国家再不修整真是太不像样了。

I Am In The Nation’s Capital

Today I came back to Washington, DC and visited the downtown area with all the many law firms and business buildings. There are so many people walking on the streets, the traffic is so busy and they all are taking the business as usual.

One of the busiest groups were the TV and media reporters. They are always on the street or in front of the White House and government buildings ready to interview people. They are always waiting for the politicians who love the TV cameras.

Today President Biden celebrated the Senate’s passage of the $1.2 trillion bipartisan infrastructure package. This is the biggest bipartisan win of his presidency so far. He said that, “After years and years of ‘Infrastructure Week’ we’re on the cusp of an infrastructure decade that I truly believe will transform America.”                                 

The President wanted to personally thank the Republican senators who supported this bill. The bill is called the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act that includes $550 billion in new federal spending over five years.

We are so glad this bill finally has passed with a 69-30 margin. We could see that most of the senators know that we need to rebuild all over America.
