最令人担忧的是,美国经济已感受到“财政悬崖”的威胁。一方面,布什时期的税收优惠政策即将到期,另一方面是财政支出的大幅缩减。如果两种措施同时执行的话,在几个月内,GDP当中的4%、5%会从经济当中被剔除。过去十年,很多指标显示,美国相对竞争力正在下行。一个国家从政策角度来说的竞争力,主要有四点:一是教育的投资;二是研发方面的投资;三是基础设施的投资;四是税收环境。 Most worrying is that the U.S. economy has felt the threat of “fiscal cliff.” On the one hand, the preferential tax policies of the Bush era are about to expire, and on the other hand, there has been a drastic reduction in fiscal expenditures. If both measures are implemented simultaneously, 4% and 5% of GDP will be removed from the economy within a few months. In the past decade, many indicators showed that the relative competitiveness of the United States is going downwards. The competitiveness of a country from the policy point of view, there are four main points: First, investment in education; Second, research and development investment; Third, investment in infrastructure; Fourth, the tax environment.
