The policy unveiled today is simply too little. Too little imagination, too little gumption, too little understanding of the larger context. Too little for all of us, but especially those of us with no generational wealth—even modest wealth—on which to rely. —Savala Nolan, "Biden's student loan forgiveness plan doesn't do enough for Black Americans," TIME
Having just dubbed its recently enacted climate-change and tax plan the Inflation Reduction Act—because it would reduce net federal expenditures by $300bn over the next decade—the White House might as well call this effort the Inflation Acceleration Action. (白宮剛剛將其最近頒布的氣候變化和稅收計劃稱為《削減通膨法案》,因為它將在未來十年內將聯邦淨支出減少3000億美元,白宮不妨將此一減貸之舉稱為《加速通膨命令》。) —"Inflation Acceleration Action," THE ECONOMIST
