This week, I signed into law a Wall Street reform bill that will protect consumers and our entire economy from the recklessness and irresponsibility that led to the worst recession of our lifetime. It’s reform that will help put a stop to the abusive practices of mortgage lenders and credit card companies. It will end taxpayer bailouts of Wall Street firms. And it will finally bring the shadowy deals that caused the financial crisis into the light of day.
本周,我签署了华尔街改革法,它将保护消费者以及我们的整个经济免受毫不负责的行径导致的最为严重的衰退的侵扰。该改革法将帮助终止抵押贷款公司和信用卡公司滥用职权。终止利用纳税人的钱为华尔街的公司提供紧急援助。并将引发此次金融危机的影子交易最终带到阳光下。
Wall Street reform is a key pillar of an overall economic plan we’ve put in place to dig ourselves out of this recession and build an economy for the long run – an economy that makes America more competitive and our middle-class more secure. It’s a plan based on the Main Street values of hard work and responsibility – and one that demands new accountability from Wall Street to Washington.
华尔街改革是正在实施的使我们摆脱经济衰退并建立经济长远发展的全面经济计划的关键支柱——美国将更有竞争力,美国的中产阶级将更安宁。该项计划建立在勤劳工作和富有责任的普遍主流价值观之上——这也要求从华尔街到华盛顿负起新的责任来。
Instead of giving tax breaks to corporations that ship jobs overseas, we want to give tax breaks to small business owners who are creating jobs right here in America. Already, we’ve given small businesses eight new tax cuts, and have expanded lending to more than 60,000 small business owners.
与其给将就业机会输出到海外的公司提供税收优惠,我们更想将税收优惠提供给在国内创造就业机会的小企业。当然,我们已经为小企业提供了8项税收减免,并扩大了对超过6万小企业主的贷款。
