党的十七大提出要建立覆盖城乡的社会保障体系,这是继取消农业税以后,党和政府在农村政策方面采取的又一项重大举措。其实,近年来,政府一直在加速推进城乡低保进程并获得了不菲成绩,城乡低保的温暖阳光,渐渐普照在了城乡大地上。 The 17th CPC National Congress proposed to establish a social security system covering urban and rural areas. This is yet another major move taken by the party and the government in rural areas following the abolition of the agricultural tax. In fact, in recent years, the government has been accelerating the process of urban and rural minimum living security and has obtained remarkable achievements. The warm sunshine of urban and rural residents is gradually shining on the earth in urban and rural areas.
