Don’t look to the US for leadership in a presidential election year. On the contrary, the US government has been handing out tax-rebate checks so that Americans will shop until they drop, and now Congress is talking about doing more.
不要指望美国在总统选举年能有领袖风范。相反， 美国政府已经分发退税支票，以使美国人可以尽情购物，并且现在国会还在讨论为此做更多的事情。
