白宮首席經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)家增長承諾落空

????2月份，時(shí)任白宮首席經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)家奧斯坦?古爾斯比在參加電視節(jié)目“每日秀”（Daily Show）時(shí)，曾大膽地許下諾言：

????“我們已經(jīng)拿到了預(yù)算，還成立了就業(yè)委員會(huì)。我來這里是想告訴大家：美國經(jīng)濟(jì)通過增長能夠擺脫這些問題?！?/p>

????當(dāng)然，預(yù)算問題“送到時(shí)已死亡”。就業(yè)委員會(huì)也在“戰(zhàn)斗中失蹤”。至于經(jīng)濟(jì)增長嘛，美國經(jīng)濟(jì)第二季度的增長率“高達(dá)”1.3% ，第三季度也“飆升”了2%?！R克斯?哈里斯

Goolsbee: `We're gonna grow'

????When he was still a top economist in the White House in February, Austan Goolsbee went on the Daily Show and made a bold promise:

????"We got a budget and we got a jobs council. And that's what I've come down to tell you: We're gonna grow our way out of this thing, Jon."

????The budget, of course, was D.O.A. And the jobs council has been M.I.A. As for growth, the economy expanded by a whopping 1.3% in the second quarter, and just 2% in the third. -- Lex Haris
