我见我闻我思

民主党正面临重大挑战

目前是美国国会多数的民主党正在跟时间赛跑， 除了巨额的基建预算之外， 其中最紧急的包括在九月三十日前必须增加赤字借贷上限 ，否则联邦政府将会停摆。

眾议院民主党领袖佩罗西已经决定在九月二十七日要把五十五兆的基建法案进行表决通过， 多半的国会参眾议员也同意增加军事预算。

由于埃德颶风造成之巨大损失， 从美南新奥良到美国东北部各州之灾难 ，势必增加了联邦政府之支出。

在此同时， 由政府发放的失业救济金已停止， 联邦高院也裁定催收房客租金应该為法律所允许， 换言之，不付房租的房客可以被房东赶走。

由於从阿富汗撤军造成之乱象， 也重创了政府之施政形象。

自从拜登上任以来， 内政 、外交都遭到重大挫败， 加上物价上涨， 民怨不断。

九月份将是个关键时刻，如果拜登总统无法力挽狂澜 ，出台新政，对於明年的中期选举将会有非常严重的后果， 如果民主党无法控制国会， 拜登总统之执政之路将会雪上加霜。

美国正在面临前所未有之挑战， 综观世界大局， 拜登急需调整步伐 再创新的大局。

Democrats In Congress Facing A Daunting September

The U.S. Congress needs to pass a debt ceiling bill in order to fund the federal government by September 30th to prevent a shutdown.

The debt limit will have to be extended this fall to prevent a global economic collapse.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi set a deadline date of September 27th to vote on the $550 billion infrastructure bill. Democrats will also need to agree on a tax increase on the rich and corporations to help pay for the budget bill.

With Hurricane Ida damages affecting a wide area from Louisiana to New York could mean that a large amount of relief funds will be needed from the government.

If the Afghanistan withdrawal has damaged President Biden’s ability to lead the country, it will depend on whether or not the midterm election next year will really be affected. If the Democrats lose the majority, that will really go a long way towards hurting the current administration.
