美国国会希望继续在疫情增长经济减缓的趋势下继续拉动消费

新冠疫情继续肆虐北美，民主共和两党都在考虑新一轮的救助计划，两党就是否能在夏季结束前快速发放救济金还没有达成一致。新的救助计划可能会比3月份国会迅速通过价值近3万亿美元的计划要少。说客和立法者表示特朗普政府对新的救助计划并不是十分感兴趣，但是愿意通过减税和增加政府支出的手段来刺激经济。在周四就业报告后特朗普称美国经济正在卷土重来『我们的经济会在极其强势的反弹。』财务部长姆努钦在同一会议上称：『只要还有因疫情失去工作人没有回到工作岗位上，我们的工作就算没有完成。』

Republicans and Democrats are considering new aid for workers and businesses, But there is little consensus on what that next aid package will look like and how quickly it will arrive before the end of summer, and there is a sense among Republicans and Democrats that the next bill will spend far less to help people and businesses than the nearly $3 trillion that Congress approved in March in a series of rapid-fire bills. Lobbyists and lawmakers say the Trump administration is not deeply engaged. Officials have hinted for weeks that they would formally propose tax cuts, infrastructure spending and other initiatives, but they have not followed through. President Trump has asserted that the economy is rebounding but has expressed support for additional tax cuts and government spending.“Today’s announcement proves our economy is coming roaring back,” he said on Thursday after the jobs report. “It’s coming back extremely strong.” Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin, appearing with Mr. Trump, said: “Our work is not done. Our work won’t be done until every single American that lost their job due to Covid is back to work.”  source
