Maybe, just maybe, Obama’s recent address marks not only the end of this destructive agenda, but also the start of a new era. Indeed, he devoted almost the entire speech to the positive role of government in providing education, fighting climate change, rebuilding infrastructure, taking care of the poor and disabled, and generally investing in the future.
也许，仅仅是也许，奥巴马最新的就职演说不但标志着这一毁灭性过程的结束，也标志着新时代的开端。事实上，他的就职演说几乎全篇都在大谈政府在提供教育、对抗气候变化、重建基础设施、照顾穷人和残疾人以及一般化的未来投资方面的积极作用。这是自1981年里根让美国原理政府以来第一个这样说的总统就职演说。
