A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
经济
Economy
I don't know where the stock market is going, but I will say this, that if it continues higher, this will do more to stimulate the economy than anything we've been talking about today or anything anybody else was talking about.
我不知道股市将走向何方,但我要说的是,如果它继续走高,它对刺激经济的作用将超过我们今天谈论的任何事情,或任何其他人谈论的任何事情。
Any health care funding plan that is just, equitable, civilized and humane must - must - redistribute wealth from the richer among us to the poorer and the less fortunate. Excellent healthcare is by definition re-distributional.
任何公正、公平、文明和人道的医疗资助计划都必须——必须——将财富从我们中间的富人重新分配给穷人和不那么幸运的人。从定义上讲,优秀的医疗保健是再分配的。
The tax code is very inefficient. Both the personal tax code and the corporate tax code. By closing loopholes and lowering rates, you could increase the efficiency of the tax code and create more incentives for people to invest.
税法效率很低。个人税法和公司税法。通过堵住漏洞和降低税率,你可以提高税法的效率,为人们的投资创造更多的激励。
Conservatism has had from its inception vigorously positive, intellectually rigorous agenda and thinking. That agenda should have in my three pillars: strengthen the economy, strengthen our security, and strengthen our families.

You can't give up something you really believe in for financial reasons. If you die by the roadside - so be it. But at least you know you've tried. Ten minutes in the music scene was the equal of one hundred years outside of it.
你不能因为经济原因放弃你真正相信的东西。如果你死在路边,那就这样吧。但至少你知道你已经尝试过了。在音乐舞台上的十分钟相当于在外面的一百年。
What turned me on then, and turns me on even today - and when the time comes from me to retire from management I think I'd still be interested in it - is that everything that happens in the world affects the price of securities.
当时让我兴奋的是,甚至今天也让我兴奋的是——当我从管理层退休的时候,我想我仍然对它感兴趣——世界上发生的一切都影响着证券的价格。
It is time that we take control and find a way to curtail the explosive costs of health care. Small businesses deserve a chance to channel these funds toward other needs, such as expanding and creating more jobs for the economy.
现在是我们控制局面的时候了,是时候找到一种方法来削减医疗保健的爆炸性成本了。小企业应该有机会将这些资金用于其他需求,比如为经济扩张和创造更多就业机会。
By increasing the use of renewable fuels such as ethanol and bio-diesel, and providing the Department of Energy with a budget to create more energy efficiency options, agriculture can be the backbone of our energy supply as well.

At the heart of these challenges lies the question of how the institutions of the European Union make laws, the types of laws they pass and the effectiveness with which those laws are implemented on civil society and the economy.

You know, the market was down yesterday... my first thought when I heard-just on a personal basis, when I heard there had been this attack and I saw the futures this morning, which were really in the tank, I thought, Time to buy.

Investors have few spare tires left. Think of the image of a car on a bumpy road to an uncertain destination that has already used up its spare tire. The cash reserves of people have been eaten up by the recent market volatility.
投资者已所剩无几。想象一下这样一幅画面:一辆汽车在通往一个不确定目的地的坎坷道路上,它的备用轮胎已经用完了。人们的现金储备已被最近的市场波动耗尽。
