The final full week of the US presidential campaign will see both candidates intensely debate the future of economic policy. But despite the rhetoric about its means, most experts agree on its ends. First, re-establishing economic growth at a rate that makes real reduction in unemployment possible; second, placing the nation’s finances on a stable foundation by putting in place measures to ensure that the nation’s sovereign debt is declining relative to its wealth; and third, renewing the economy’s foundation in a way that can support steady growth in middle-class incomes over the next generation as well as work for all those who want it.
在美國總統大選的最后一周里，兩黨候選人將就未來的經濟政策展開激辯。不論他們會談到什么樣的具體措施，絕大多數專家對于未來經濟政策所應實現的政策目標看法一致。第一大目標是，使美國經濟增速回穩到一定水平，以使實實在在地減少失業成為可能；第二大目標是，采取措施確保美國主權債務規模與其財富之比逐步下降，給國家財政打下穩健基礎；第三大目標是，重樹美國經濟支柱，使其能夠支撐中產階級以及其他群體的收入水平在下一代人的時間里穩步增長。
