Barack Obama, who lamented Friday that “we have not managed our federal
budget with any kind of discipline,” is nonetheless promising to spend $50
billion on a United Nations anti-poverty program that critics say will drive
up American debt.
“The short-term weakness in the capital market is a reflection of long-term
problems that we have in our economy,” Obama told reporters in Florida. “
We have been loading up enormous amounts of debt.” | m******O 发帖数: 596 | 2 太长,给你写个摘要:
教主在大选议题上拼经济,他在国内对选民大谈严格控制政府财政支出,削减政府浪费
性的开销(译者按:双手双脚赞成)。然而,他在国际上许愿:要把美国向联合国“消
除贫困项目”的援助翻番到500亿美元。同时,他支持国会的“全球贫困提案”,如果
提案通过,到2015年,美国政府(最终是纳税人)对外的消除贫困专项援助将达到8450
亿美元。教主的首席对外政策顾问认为美国每年应该拿出GDP的0.7%(天文数字的税金
)以援助发展中国家。
有学者对此表示批评:虽然联合国在援助发展中国家的项目中有所成就,但是在联合国
内部、在援助国和受援国的政府组织中,广泛存在贪污腐败和官僚机构效率低下的问题
。这使得大多数援助资金无法有效发挥作用。
这种四处许愿洒钱(纳税人买单)的做法,和教主誓言要严格控制支出、削减低效率的
政府项目的承诺自相矛盾。
