グローバル化はアメリカにとって最終的に利益をもたらすだろう。
The SEC should strengthen regulations on short selling. Although I think the short sellers are being unfairly singled out, there is at least some room to argue that a heightened level of regulation is appropriate. But not draconian.
オバマ政権がゼネラル・モーターズ社のCEOリック・ワゴナーを辞任させたのは適切だった。 He can't just go around firing any CEO. But he can give conditions to granting federal bailout relief, and that's what he did.
不良資産救済プログラム資金は外国の金融機関の影響を受けることを規制されるべきではない。 For bailouts, the money should go quickly to where the bailed out companies think it needs to go to protect themselves. For more extended workouts, we can maybe take the time to micromanage; but even here, it's dangerous to try to limit the effects to American companies.
オバマ政権の自動車救済の対応には満足できる。 In this case, what might otherwise be labeled as flip-flopping is actually responding in a nuanced way to the changing circumstances, trying to evolve an approach that works. Progress is best served by being flexible, firm, pragmatic. So far, he seems to me to be all of those, and I think that most Americans understand that.
ニューディール政策は大恐慌を短縮した。
議会はAIGのボーナスに課税するべきではない。
Tobacco companies should be liable for smoke-related health problems. They should be held accountable, but not in individual lawsuits by injured smokers. Such suits end up over-rewarding some and under-rewarding others, and are very expensive. The appropriate remedy is through regulation or class action lawsuits that set up remedies to compensate the whole class at least modestly, and set up education and other programs to limit damage in the future.
AIGはボーナスを受け取った重役の名前を公表させられるべきではない。
政府は大手銀行の破産を認めるべきではない。 I guess it depends on what the meaning of "fail" is. No, the government should not just leave them to dangle in the wind - actually, they are exempt from bankruptcy and subject instead to regulatory unwinding, generally at the state level, which is not very effective. Instead, the government should intercede to protect the interests of depositors (which they do through F.D.I.C.) and other major parties. There's a danger, when they have to act fast, that they don't get everything 100% "correct," but it beats the alternatives, I think.
The U.S. government should not try to recoup AIG bonuses. I think there's something in the Constitution about the government generally not having the power to void contracts. It's one thing to condition a bailout on an agreement to forego benefits (a la the UAW and the car companies). It's another thing to unilaterally change the terms of employment after the fact. Of course, the lawyers can look at individual employees to see if any of them were involved in fraud, and, if so, and maybe if it's only the appearance of fraud, there are plenty of ways to coerce people to give up benefits. But let's stop the witchhunt against people who were not necessarily doing anything wrong.
2009年の米国株式市場の下落に責任があるのはオバマ政権よりブッシュ政権である。
航空機の乗客の権利法はあるべきである。 Yes, defining basic principles in broad terms.
Which low-cost United States airline do you most prefer to fly with? JetBlue
ダウは2009年に6000以下まで下落しないだろう。 Of course it might. But do I think so? No. I see a testing of the recent lows, and a better than 50% chance that the support will hold. (I'm talking about a closing below 6000.)
Governments should not nationalize insolvent banks in response to the financial crisis.
The federal government's financial bailout package will help stabilize the U.S. economy. It will help. It will take time.
The economic stimulus plan should not include a 'Buy American' provision.
The government should regulate salaries of companies who have received bailout funds. I'm usually for the free market. But if the companies go to the U.S. for bailout, then they've already failed in the free market, and we do need to attach some strings.
The U.S. federal government should provide financial support to its auto industry. Let them dangle a while, and then attach strings, strings, strings.
Congress should increase the cap on federally insured bank deposits.
米国経済は2008年に不況に入るだろう。 Blub, blub. We're already under.
Financial Institutions are most responsible for the current financial crisis. It's possible that we're in a mess because of our mutual greed - not necessarily for big bucks, but each of us who tried to squeeze that last half-a-percent out of our investments, and wouldn't buy any investment unless it bested the others. Ultimately, t
The federal government should pass the proposed $700 billion financial system bailout. Pity poor us who are too small to succeed! We need a package, but substantially modified for oversight, transparency, gradual increase in commitment, help for a few of us smaller folk. And priced to avoid rewarding those who got us into this mess, while
Bush Administration policies have had a negative impact on the economy. Well, now we see the results of a policy of deregulation and attempted minimization of government.
The U.S. is undergoing the worst financial crisis since the Great Depression. But we'll survive. (At least some of us.)
政府は差し押さえに直面している住宅所有者に経済的援助を提供するべきである。 Not all of them, and not unlimited. But some restructuring for debtors whose homes might be saved with a little bit of adjustment.
Supply and demand is having the greatest impact on rising oil prices.
ブッシュ政権の景気刺激策は景気後退を防げないだろう。 If the train's coming, I don't think that a few dollars in the pocket is going to stop it.
政府は不景気の間、ケインズ派経済学の原則に従うべきではない。 This is a flawed question. If you always advocate a tax cut, that doesn't make you a Keynesian. You're only a Keynesian if you advocate "paying back" when the economy is running well.
役員報酬は株主の承認を必要とするべきだ。 Not for all of them. But there should be some trigger that bumps it into shareholder approval status.
米国は米国とコロンビアの自由貿易協定を可決するべきである。
破産裁判所は住宅ローンを調整する権利を持つべきである。 Only in limited circumstances, as in adjusting other secured credit.
米国は財政均衡憲法修正案を制定するべきではない。
ドル安の経済的利益はコストを上回らない。
コールセンターは従業員がいる物理的な場所を公開する義務があるべきだ。
政府は賃金を規制するべきである。 Only to set a minimum wage.
米国は農業の助成金を終わらるべきだ。
米国連邦政府の赤字は長期金利に影響する。
食料は原産地のラベル付けをするべきである。
