That’s why this is not a short-term program to boost the employment.”
Republicans, though, not so sure about this plan, they are concerned about the 825-billion-dollar price take. House Minority leader John Mader says the Democratic back plan is full of poor berough spending that will not provide economic release Americans need right now.

贝拉克.奥巴马总统发表了就职以来的首次每周电台讲话，敦促尽快实行他的经济刺激计划。奥巴马称他的计划不仅能为纳税人节省超过20亿美元，还能增加所需的就业岗位和收入，以推动经济。
"It's a plan that will save or create three to four million jobs over the next few years and one that recognizes both the paradox and the promise of this moment. The fact that there are millions of Americans trying to find work, even as, all around the country there's so much work to be done. That's why this is not just a short-term program to boost employment."
“计划将在随后的几年节省或增加3到400万个就业岗位，并意识到现阶段的悖论和承诺。尽管全国范围来看，还有很多工作可以做，但事实是，仍有数百万人在寻找工作。所以，这并不是一个短期的刺激就业的计划。”
Republicans though are not so sure about this plan. They're concerned about the $825 billion price tag. House Minority leader John Boehner says the Democratic-backed plan is full of pork-barrel spending that will not provide the economic relief Americans need right now.
共和党人确对此计划持怀疑态度。他们担心8250亿美元的价值。国会少数党领袖约翰.伯纳称民主党支持的计划充满了政治拨款开销，并不能提供美国人现在需要的经济救助。
“Their plan also provides government-funded paychecks -- disguised as tax cuts -- for those who don't pay income taxes. All told, the plan would spend a whopping 275,000 dollars in taxpayer dollars for every new job it aims to create, saddling each and every household with 6,700 dollars in additional debt - paid for by our children and grandchildren.”
他们的方案还假借减税的名义，为政府部门那些不交所得税的人员提供了工资。每增加一个工作岗位，计划就将花去纳税人美元的27万5000美元，但却给每一个家庭增加了6700美元的额外债务-由我们的子孙来承担。
