Biden calls Truss’s tax cut plans ‘mistake'’_我的网站

A | Washington, Oct 16 (UNI) US President Joe Biden says British Prime Minister Liz Truss’s controversial tax-cutting program was a mistake.
"I wasn’t the only one that thought it was a mistake," Biden told reporters on Saturday when asked about Truss’s plan. "I disagreed with the policy, but that’s up to Great Britain to make that judgment, not me," the US president added.
Asked whether he was concerned about the strength of the US dollar, Biden said he was not concerned.
"Our economy is strong as hell - the internals of it. Inflation is worldwide. It’s worse off everywhere else than it is in the United States," Biden said, adding that "the problem is the lack of economic growth and sound policy in other countries, not so much ours."
On Friday, Kwasi Kwarteng resigned as the UK’s Chancellor of the Exchequer after reports leaked that he had been fired by Truss over a controversial tax cuts plan for big corporations, which triggered a negative reaction from both markets and the general public.
Kwarteng, who was relieved of his post barely three weeks after his appointment, is now replaced by Jeremy Hunt.
According to The Guardian, on Monday, senior Conservative parliament members will hold a meeting, convened by leading supporters of Rishi Sunak, discussing the prime minister’s future, after Hunt dramatically tore up her economic package. The newspaper said on Saturday that some British parliament members are threatening to publicly call on Truss to stand down over her failed tax-cutting plan.
Last week, Truss promised to reduce public debt amid a flurry of criticism over the government's new plan to support the economy, which includes large-scale tax cuts. After the plan's announcement, the yield on five-year UK government bonds rose to its highest level since 2008, at 4.6%, which meant a decrease in demand for debt securities. Consequently, sterling fell to an all-time low of $1.054 per pound.
UNI/SPUTNIK GNK。 资料图虽然Google在推出该计划之前不需要FEC的批准,但它在今年夏天早些时候寻求投票以确保该计划不存在违反现行选举法规的风险。

B | 在周四的裁决中,FEC会确认,Google的计划是合法的。委员Ellen L. Weintraub在FTC周四的公开会议上说道:“我很难绕过这样一个事实,即这是提供给政治委员会的独特利益,而且只有政治委员会。”由于该计划的排他性,Weintraub将其比喻为Google向政治团体提供自己的“实物”捐助。Google宣布其政治过滤计划后不久,最近的一项研究发现,跟民主党立法者和候选人的电子邮件相比,该公司将共和党的筹款电子邮件不成比例地标记为垃圾邮件。这项研究激怒了美国共和党、激发了一系列批评声明并邀请Google首席法律官Kent Walker在国会山的一次私人会议上解释该公司的过滤决定。

C | Google发言人José Castañeda周四在给The Verge的一份声明中说道:“我们在这个试点项目中的目标是评估解决来自批量发送者的担忧的其他方法,同时让用户明确控制他们的收件箱以减少不需要的电子邮件。

D | 随着试点工作的展开,我们将继续监测反馈,以确保它达到目标。”尽管提出了这个建议作为一种让步,但Google对该研究的结果提出了异议,称研究人员检查了一个小规模的电子邮件样本,且并没有考虑到竞选活动是否使用了服务中已经提供的适当的批量电子邮件工具。但Google的解释无法改变那些在本周期内努力实现其在线筹款目标的共和党人的想法。

E | 《纽约时报》上月报道,跟第一季度相比,第二季度捐赠给共和党实体和联邦竞选活动的总金额下降了12%以上。这种下降是非常不寻常的,尤其是随着选举的临近,小额捐款传统上会增加。这种筹款的下降加上有争议的过滤研究在夏天激起了共和党人的狂热。参议员John Thune和其他近二十名共和党人提出了一项法案--禁止Google等电子邮件供应商用算法对联邦竞选邮件进行分类。在《华盛顿邮报》本月早些时候获得的一份备忘录草案中,美国全国共和党参议员委员会认为,“Google及其算法将明显的优势交给了民主党的筹款努力,并导致共和党人筹集的资金比他们应该筹集的少了数百万美元”。等到Google向FEC提出要求对其合法性作出决定,该委员会就将该计划开放给公众评论。在提交给该委员会的数百条评论中,几乎所有的评论都是负面的。民主党全国委员会(DNC)认为,Google的提议将是共和党人的福音,另外还为“滥用筹款策略”打开Gmail。“可悲的是,共和党人没有简单地停止发送垃圾邮件,而是参与了一场恶意的施压活动--更不幸的是,Google买下了它,”DNC副通信主管Danie Wessel曾在6月对The Verge说道。前总统唐纳德·特朗普的竞选团队因在其筹款邮件中使用垃圾邮件策略而受到抨击,他们经常使用误导性的主题词或模仿选民可能通过互联网与朋友和家人的对话。周二,宾夕法尼亚州美国参议院共和党候选人Mehmet Oz博士因在本周早些时候联邦调查局搜查特朗普的Mar-a-Lago住宅后仅数小时向支持者发送了一封主题为“FBI RAID - BREAKING INFORMATION”的竞选筹款电子邮件而受到抨击。随着FEC周四的决定,Google将很快允许像Oz这样的竞选活动申请该计划并确保他们的电子邮件--尽管使用类似垃圾邮件的方法和语言也不会从用户的收件箱中被过滤掉。
