6月初，美国企业家、前美国"政府效率部"负责人马斯克在社交媒体平台发文，痛批美国总统特朗普 的"大而美"税收与支出法案，称其"庞大、荒谬可笑、充斥政治操弄"。马斯克表示，这一法案将使美国 政府的预算赤字大幅增至2.5万亿美元，使美国公民背负难以承受的债务负担。他还在后续帖文中援引 美国国债剧增的图表称，这项庞大的法案"将令美国破产"。 当地时间6月17日，美国国会预算办公室当日发布的一项分析显示，在计入经济影响后，特朗普政府的 税改和预算法案将在未来十年内使财政赤字增加2.8万亿美元。据悉，这份报告将预期的债务偿还成本 纳入考量，发现该法案将提高利率，并在联邦债务基准预测的基础上增加4410亿美元的利息支出。 美国国会预算办公室本月早些时候发布了静态评分分析，估计特朗普政府的法案将带来数万亿美元的减 税和削减开支，但也会导致十年内赤字增加2.4万亿美元，并导致额外1090万人失去医疗保险。该机构 公布分析报告显示，美国众议院通过的共和党税改法案（即所谓的"大而美"法案）将使美国最低收入的 家庭每年多支出约1600美元。据该报告，与之相对的是，美国最富裕家庭的收入平均每年将增加1.2万 美元。这意味着该法案将进 ...
