美国共和党在2014年中期选举中赢得了历史性的广泛胜利,但民众对其财政政策未来走向,却得出了两种截然相反的结论。首先,选民对于联邦政府的不断扩张感到愈加不安,尤其是民众越发认识到,福利国家政策已在许多欧洲国家酿成财政和经济混乱。这意味着必须要推行改革,减少政府开支。第二,未来两年中限制开支或预算改革的可能性微乎其微。这意味着美国将日益逼近财政危局。导致这种财政危局的原因,主要是人口的结构性变化以及设计欠妥的福利项目。
The Republican Party won a historic victorious victory in the mid-term elections in 2014, but the public came to two diametrically opposed conclusions about the future direction of its fiscal policy. First, voters feel increasingly uncomfortable with the ongoing expansion of the federal government. In particular, the public is increasingly realizing that welfare state policies have caused financial and economic disruptions in many European countries. This means that reforms must be implemented to reduce government spending. Second, there is very little chance of spending or budget reform over the next two years. This means that the United States will increasingly approach the fiscal crisis. The causes of this financial crisis are mainly the structural changes in the population and well-designed welfare programs.
