布什总统在今年国情咨文中提出了一个振兴美国经济的计划,企图刺激美国经济迅速复苏,以达到确保美国在世界经济中的优势地位的目的。但在这个计划中,布什并没有提出崭新的惊人的有效解决办法,因此美国各界人士的反应都比较冷淡,反而把他们的注意力集中在总统竞争力委员会于今年3月初发表的一项研究报告上,并特别重视该委员会提出的主张,即美国若要摆脱经济困境,就得提高美国工业产品在国际市场上的竞争力。美国总统竞争力委员会于今年3月4日发表了一项振兴美国经济的研究报告,对症下药地开出了一张医治美国经济病的药方。首先,它对美国经济的病情作了客观的如实的诊断,它认为美国所患的经济病,是长期不断加重的沉疴,并说:“目前的经济衰退可能成为战后历时最长久的一次衰退”,病情沉重,表现出来的主要病症有:工资增长停滞、劳动生产率提高缓慢、债务负担不断加重。长此以往,“在可预见的未来,美国经济的增长必定低于其他工业发达国家”。
In his State of the Union address this year, President Bush proposed a plan to rejuvenate the U.S. economy in an attempt to stimulate a rapid U.S. economic recovery so as to achieve the goal of ensuring that the United States has a dominating position in the world economy. However, in this plan, Bush did not come up with a completely new and surprisingly effective solution. As a result, the reactions of all walks of life in the United States have been rather cold. Instead, they have focused their attention on a study released by the Council on Competence Council in early March this year , Paying particular attention to the proposition put forward by the Commission that if the United States wants to get out of economic difficulties, it will have to increase the competitiveness of U.S. industrial products in the international market. On 4 March this year, the United States President’s Competence Commission published a study on the rejuvenation of the U.S. economy, setting forth the prescriptions for the cure of the U.S. economy. First, it made an objective and truthful diagnosis of the economic condition of the United States. It considered the economic problems in the United States as a long-term aggravating issue and said: “The current economic recession may become the longest lasting post-war recession ”The condition is heavy and the main symptoms manifested are stagnant wage growth, slow increase of labor productivity and increasing debt burden. In the long run, “the growth of the U.S. economy must be lower than that of other industrialized countries in the foreseeable future.”
