富豪看衰美国经济

美国首富特斯拉老闆马斯克警告 ，未来全球経济情况悲观 ，他在一封给高级主管之信中要求他们裁减十分之一的员工 ，并指示全球冻结公司之顾用员工计划， 大通银行总裁也同时警讯，一阵强烈颶风可能席捲美国未来的経济。

拜登总统上週召集财政部长叶伦及央行总裁鲍尔在白宫商讨当前经济形势 ，五月份全美增加了三十九万工作机会， 但是通货膨胀仍然高居不下。

预计中央储备银行将会继续以每月把利率调高百分之零点五之速度来抑制通货膨胀， 一直到能控制在百分之二的情况下， 但是这项行动很可能又导至経济之衰退。

今天我们应该非常淸楚 為何造成経济之混乱， 人民痛苦不堪， 百物价格上涨， 应该从多方面来分析其原因 ，首先是三年前发生的新冠病毒， 横扫全球造成重大伤亡 ，至今仍然是「哀鸿遍地」，许多国家及地区还在挣扎之中。

由于中美两国关係之恶化， 全球化体系正在崩塌之中， 称為世界工厂的中国大陆正在遭受外界之压力， 欲把工厂迁出中国 ，但是过去二十多年来 ，中国製造之產品已経佔据之全球多半之市塲 ，就如美国大小商塲 百分之九十之產品来自中国大陆 ，如今要迁至他国 又谈何容易。

俄乌之战 ，始未料及已过百日之久 ，在美国及其他国家支持之下， 乌克兰奋起抵抗， 但如此数百万人流落他方 ，国内设施被毁 美国全面封锁俄罗斯 ，造成国际情势大乱， 目前看来 要把俄罗斯瓦解也非易事。

以上种种原因是造成拜登总统面临之国内外难题 ，我们奉劝総统必须谨慎处理 ，不但有系於期中选举，更是千千万万人民之福祉所在。

Elon Musk’s “Super Bad Feeling”

Tesla CEO Elon Musk warned of his “super bad feeling” about the economy saying his auto company Tesla is expected to trim about 10% of all jobs and ask his executives to pause all hiring worldwide.

This comment also echoes the remarks from Chase Bank president Jamie Dimon who cautioned of a “hurricane bearing down on the U.S. economy and a weaker outlook report.”

Last week President Biden met in the White House with Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell and U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen to talk about the current economy. In May alone the nation added 300,000 more jobs, but inflation still remained high. It is expected that the central bank will continue to curb inflation by raising the interest rate 0.5 percent every month until inflation can be controlled under 2%. But this action is likely to lead to a recession for the economy.

Today we should have a very clear idea why we have the current economic chaos which is causing people to suffer. First of all, Covid-19 that occurred three years ago swept the world and caused major casualties. To this day, so far, many countries and regions are still struggling.

Due to the deterioration of the relationship between the U.S. and China, the global international supply system is collapsing. China, known as the world’s factory, is under great pressure. Many factories have moved out of China, but over the last several decades, products made in China have occupied most of the world’s market. If the factories continue to move out of China, there will be great difficulties to produce those products somewhere else easily.

The war between Russia and Ukraine has been going on for more than one hundred days now. Because of the complete blockade by the United States and the allies, the normal supply chain has been greatly interrupted.

The above mentioned critical issues are being faced by President Biden on both the domestic and international fronts. If he cannot solve the problems, it will not only just be related to the midterm election, but also will have serious consequences to the future of our country.
