George W. Bush’s economic policies have been based on an extraordinarily reckless gamble that reflects a political coalition of two major forces: the super-rich and evangelical Christians. As those policies fail, global financial markets are reacting negatively, adding uncertainty to the world economy, and there is little relief in sight, because America is entering a period of prolonged political infighting and stalemate.
乔治·W·布什的经济政策一直扎根于一场极其不计后果的赌博。这场赌博反映了两个主要势力的政治联合：超级富豪和福音基督教会。随着这些政策的失败，全球金融市场反应消极，增加了世界经济的不稳定性。这种情况不会在可见的未来缓和，因为美国正在进入漫长的政治内讧和僵持的时期。
