我见 我思 我闻

拜登社经法案再度受阻

西维吉尼亚选出之民主党参议员门钦表明，他无法在参议院支持拜登总统提出之民生及气候法案， 这将是白宫重大之挫败， 他说 ：“我真的无法回去和我的选民交待。”

白宫方面对於他的谈话感到震惊， 发言人莎奇说，他改变了以往之承诺 ，如果缺少了这一票， 将无法在参院通过， 对拜登总统而言， 是无法承受之结果。

拜登政府一万七千亿之民生预算， 将是政府施政之重要事项， 如果预算无法通过 ，将是政府之最大败笔。

执政即将届満週年的拜登新政府 ，一直面临严峻之挑战，首先是疫情至今无法全面控制， 通赁膨胀严重 ，物价上涨， 国会两党分歧加深 ，国际政治和中俄矛盾加剧。

明年之期中选举 ，如果民主党失去控制国会多数 ，就会誏政府开始跛脚， 也会导至民主党失去政权之隐忧。

无可讳言， 近二年来新冠疫情已经严重影响世界政经之格局 ，国际外交及军事版图也在不断变化， 如果大家无法加强团结，尤其面对疫情之继续蔓延， 将会有更多人失去生命。

国会两党之斗争已经白热化， 两党人士许多议案实在是為反对而反对， 此绝非国民之福 也导致世界局势之不安。

Senator Manchin Refuses To Support Biden’s Bill

Senator Joe Manchin has called off negotiations with President Biden on the Build Back Better bill.

                                                                                                                                                   The plan centered on universal pre-kindergarten programs to be funded for a full ten years as well as an expansion of the Affordable Care Act and hundreds of billions dollars to address climate change .

White House Press Secretary Psaki said that Senator Manchin came to the White House and submitted in person to the president a written outline for the Build Back Better bill that was the same size and scope as the president’s framework. Later, the senator said “no,” and ended the negotiation. He said, “I cannot vote to continue with this piece of legislation. I just can’t.”

The Senator also was concerned about what the legislation would do to the nation’s rising debt and soaring inflation.

Today the Biden administration is really facing big challenges and not just the pandemic. They can’t control the economy which is also headed in the wrong direction with higher prices. And inflation is making the people’s lives more difficult while the world’s politics are also in chaos.

It has been almost one year since Biden became President. Both parties in Congress are still fighting in many areas. Republican members just can’t agree on many bills sponsored by the Democrats.

It is very sad that we are living in such a difficult time here at home and around the globe. Unless we have real leaders, we don’t see any bright future.
