There is only one way to ensure broadly shared prosperity in the US: a future-oriented fiscal policy aimed at boosting employment and productivity, maintaining low marginal tax rates, strengthening support for workers, and investing in education, innovation, and infrastructure. The alternative – allowing the past, in the form of interest payments on the national debt and entitlement spending, to continue dictating fiscal policy – would block prosperity among middle-income households, by requiring continuous tax increases and reduced public investment.
只有一种方法可以暴政美国的繁荣得到广泛分享：以未来为导向的财政政策。该财政政策的目标是提振就业和生产率、保持低边际税率、强化工人支持、以及投资于教育、创新和基础设施。其他方法——继续让过去（即偿付国民债务利息、维持福利支出等）决定财政政策——将要求持续提高税收和削减公共投资，从而让中等收入家庭无从实现繁荣。
