The decisions that Congress must make now will affect not only the US economy’s short-term prospects, but will shape the type of capitalism that we will have for the next 50 years. Do we want to live in a system where profits are private, but losses are socialized, where taxpayer money is used to prop up failed firms?
国会现在要做的决定，不仅将影响到美国经济的短期前景，而且还将影响今后50年我们拥有的是什么样的资本主义的问题。难道我们希望生活在一个利润私人化但损失社会化、且纳税人的钱用来支撑经营失败的公司的制度里吗？还是我们希望生活在一个人们对自己的决定负责、轻率的行为得到惩罚而审慎的行为得到奖赏的制度里？
