The August employment figures might have offered a brief respite from the persistent sluggishness of the hiring market and anxieties over inflationconcerns that, with only two months remaining until Election Day, had been weighing heavily on Trump and his party.

Yet, as Trump addressed the nation from the Oval Office, he pivoted to lash out at inflation and interest rates, directing his ire squarely at financial markets, the Federal Reserve, and America's trading partners.

然而当特朗普在椭圆形办公室发表讲话时他却转而将矛头指向通胀与利率其愤懑之情直指金融市场美联储以及美国的各贸易伙伴

He categorically dismissed the widely held view among economists that the unexpected addition of 162,000 jobs in August might exacerbate inflationary pressures.

他坚决驳斥了经济学界普遍认同的观点八月意外新增的162,000个就业岗位或有可能加剧通胀压力

"Success itself does not cause inflation; only stupidity does." Trump vented his frustration in the Oval Office, insisting that the stock market's Friday decline, attributed to inflation concerns, was "utterly absurd."

“成功本身并不会引发通胀,唯有愚蠢才会。”特朗普在椭圆形办公室内宣泄不满,他坚称股市因通胀忧虑而于周五下挫实属“荒谬至极”。

Such is the assessment of Joe Brusuelas, chief economist at RSM US consulting firm.

RSM US咨询公司首席经济学家乔·布鲁苏埃拉斯如是说

Should the Federal Reserve heed Trump's request to lower the benchmark interest rate in order to channel more capital into the U.S. economy, the ensuing influx of cash could exacerbate inflation, thereby only deepening its twofold predicamentboth political and economic.

Nevertheless, the president takes exception to the core tenets of this monetary policy.

然而总统对该货币政策的核心原则持有异议

On Friday, he asserted that should interest rates be cut further, the gross domestic product could conceivably surge at rates of "12%," "13%," "14%," or even "15%," implying that he appears to turn a blind eye to the latent risks posed by inflation.

于周五声称倘若利率进一步下调国内生产总值将有望“12%”、“13%”、“14%”乃至“15%”的速率攀升言下之意,他似乎对通胀所潜藏的风险置若罔闻

此外他们坚称去年实施的关税措施最终将为美国本土带来更多制造业就业岗位,特朗普推行的减税方案能激发商业投资的活力同时政府打击欺诈行为的举措亦将为纳税人节约可观的开支

"I anticipate that the growth rate will be even more pronounced."

He speculated that productivity gains could emerge as a potential driver of overall economic growth over the coming years, a possibility not to be overlooked; nevertheless, he conceded that growth alone is unlikely to fully resolve the nation's entire array of fiscal challenges.

推测生产率提升在未来数年间有望成为整体经济增长的潜在驱动力这一可能性不容忽视不过他也坦言单凭增长恐怕难以彻底化解国家所面临的全部财政难题

Given that expenditure growth in the realms of social security and health insurance has persistently outpaced revenue growth, relying solely on economic expansion is unlikely to bring about a substantial reduction in the budget deficit.

Even if the U.S. economy were to achieve an average annual growth rate exceeding 3% over the next decade, it would merely suffice to stabilize the government's already elevated debt burden, according to Ernie Tedeschi, head of economic insights and research at the fintech company Stripe.

即便美国经济在未来十年能实现年均增长超过3%也仅足以稳定政府已高企的债务负担这是金融科技公司Stripe的经济洞察与研究主管厄尼·特德斯基的分析。

Tedski remarked that if artificial intelligence could sustain such growth for a decade, he would be "thrilled," yet history suggests that such substantial gains driven by advances in computing may be "highly optimistic."

特德斯基表示如果人工智能能助力连续十年实现这样的增长非常兴奋”,历史表明计算机进步带来的这种大幅增长可能极度乐观”。

"We should by no means base our planning on such an optimistic scenario."

我们绝不应这种乐观情景为蓝本进行规划。”

Thus spoke Tedeschi.

特德斯基如是说

Prior to the president's remarks on interest rates on Friday, the Trump administration had been consistently endeavoring over the past week to bolster voters' confidence in the economy.

At the G20 finance ministers' summit held in North Carolina, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent underscored the benefits of robust economic growth.

Meanwhile, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick echoed similar sentiments at the G20 gathering centered on innovation.

同时商务部长霍华德·卢特尼克在聚焦创新的二十国集团会议表达了类似观点。

Nevertheless, in an interview with the Associated Press, Bessent stated that he is joining forces with White House budget director Russ Vought to unveil an initiative aimed at "reducing debt and deficit levels."

尽管如此贝森特在接受美联社采访时表示,他正与白宫预算主管拉斯·沃特携手,共同宣布一项旨在削减债务与赤字水平”的举措。

Reducing the annual budget deficit, currently around $2 trillion and projected to exceed $3 trillion within a decade, carries political risks.

削减目前每年约2万亿美元、预计十年后将超过3万亿美元年度预算赤字,在政治上是有风险的。

A path toward lower deficits may prove favorable for interest rates, yet it could entail political hardship in the form of spending cuts and tax increases.

降低赤字的路径可能有利于利率但可能以削减支出和增税的形式带来政治上的痛苦

RSM US's chief economist Brusuelas underscored that Trump may be compelled to make a difficult trade-off between substantively addressing the debt issue and reassuring financial markets.

RSM US的首席经济学家布鲁苏埃拉斯强调,特朗普或许必须在切实应对债务问题与安抚金融市场之间作出艰难的取舍。

"We need a period of slower growth in government spendingincluding direct cuts in expenditure, as well as tax increases, all aimed at reducing the deficit and interest rates," he said.

我们需要一个政府支出增长放缓的时期——包括直接削减支出以及增税所有这些都是为了减少赤字利率。”他说
