对于美债失控的问题，特朗普不是没有注意到，他也曾尝试通过一些政策来挽救，比如大举推动裁员工作，试图降低联邦政府开支。加征关税，除了逼大量 国家进口美国商品，也有其他目的，就是想要通过吸纳关税，来弥补美国政府的财政赤字。 但是以上政策当下不是失败，就是走在失败的路上。"政府效率部"裁员裁到自己的负责人干不下去了，至于关税政策，如今特朗普连日本都拿捏不了，日本 首相石破茂已经不止一次明确表示不会对美方让步！更离谱的是什么呢？特朗普一边想尽了办法向别国抢钱，另一边却还想在国内减税，更提高军费。这种 让全球为几亿美国人不劳而获甚至醉生梦死生活买单的行径，无疑是国际社会不能容忍的。 此地无银三百两！美财长公开预告美债最终结局，可信吗？特朗普彻底背叛自己的竞选承诺，或将引发怎样的后果？ 日前，美国财政部长贝森特在接受美媒采访之际，明确表示美国永远不会违约，尽管他承认美国正处于警戒线上，但"永远不会碰壁"。贝森特所提的不会， 是针对美债现状做出的承诺。在这里，贝森特预告美债最终结局，绝不会违约，颇有一种此地无银三百两的意味，他不说还好，越是这么解释，越是等同于 承认，如今美债正面临巨大危机！ 今年4月，美债规模突破36.2 ...
