t小布什是 在美国经济持续增长多年但又面临急剧减速危险的十字路口登上总统宝座的。 为阻止美国经济的衰退趋势,布什政府欲实施扩张性的货币政策和财政政策,降息与减税并举,期望鼓励消费,带动投资。其举措是,计划10年减税1.6万亿美元,这是自80年代里根政府以来最庞大的减税计划。个人所得税可能由15％降至10％,最高税率由46％降至33％。 Bush took a presidential seat at a crossroads where the U.S. economy has been growing for years but facing a sharp deceleration. To stop the trend of a recession in the U.S. economy, the Bush administration wants to implement the expansionary monetary policy and fiscal policy. Both the interest rate cut and the tax cut should be implemented in parallel with the expectation of encouraging consumption and boosting investment. The move is to plan a 10-year tax cut of 1.6 trillion U.S. dollars, the largest tax cut since the Reagan administration in the 1980s. Personal income tax may be reduced from 15% to 10%, the maximum tax rate from 46% to 33%.
