Senate Republicans have uniformly insisted that Democrats should alone be responsible for raising the nation’s debt limit. Congress probably will face a deadline of Dec. 3 to act, though the exact date is uncertain.</p><p><blockquote>上个月，民主党高级领导人坚持要求在两党基础上解决债务上限问题。参议院共和党人一致坚持认为，民主党人应该独自负责提高国家债务限额。国会可能会面临12月3日采取行动的最后期限，尽管具体日期尚不确定。</blockquote></p><p> The stalemate brought the U.S. within weeks of a potentially catastrophic default last month, forcing Treasury to deploy “emergency measures” to prevent funds from running out.</p><p><blockquote>上个月，这一僵局导致美国在几周内陷入潜在的灾难性违约，迫使财政部部署“紧急措施”以防止资金耗尽。</blockquote></p><p> “Should it be done on a bipartisan basis? Absolutely. Now, if they’re not going to cooperate, I don’t want to play chicken and end up not raising the debt ceiling. I think that’s the worst possible outcome,” Yellen told The Washington Post. “If Democrats have to do it by themselves, that’s better than defaulting on the debt to teach the Republicans a lesson.”</p><p><blockquote>耶伦对《华盛顿邮报》表示：“是否应该在两党合作的基础上进行？当然。现在，如果他们不打算合作，我不想玩胆小鬼游戏，最终不提高债务上限。我认为这是最糟糕的结果。”“如果民主党人不得不自己动手，这比拖欠债务给共和党人一个教训要好。”</blockquote></p><p> While condemning the Republican approach as “completely irresponsible,” Yellen also expressed openness to Democrats using the part of the reconciliation procedure called “Section 304” to resolve the debt ceiling impasse to circumvent the filibuster. Senate Democrats on the budget committee previously ruled out that approach.</p><p><blockquote>耶伦在谴责共和党的做法“完全不负责任”的同时，也对民主党人利用和解程序中被称为“304条款”的部分来解决债务上限僵局以规避阻挠表示开放。预算委员会的参议院民主党人此前排除了这种做法。</blockquote></p><p> The debt ceiling sets the maximum amount that the U.S. can borrow under the law. But Congress has also approved spending laws requiring the federal government to run a national debt in excess of this limit. Economists say that breaching the debt ceiling and failing to pay the U.S. government’s outstanding debts — an unprecedented event — would rattle world markets and could plunge the U.S. into an economic recession.</p><p><blockquote>债务上限规定了美国根据法律可以借款的最高金额。但国会也批准了支出法，要求联邦政府管理超过这一限额的国债。经济学家表示，突破债务上限和未能偿还美国政府未偿债务——这是前所未有的事件——将扰乱世界市场，并可能使美国陷入经济衰退。</blockquote></p><p> “To me, as the person who has to pay the bills and watches this on a daily basis — our funds dwindling in our account over time — I very much want to make sure that this is addressed. And this Section 304 procedure is one way in which that could occur,” Yellen told The Washington Post. “I don’t want to take 304 off the table, because it looks to me like a viable route to do it.”</p><p><blockquote>“对我来说，作为一个必须支付账单并每天关注这一情况的人——我们账户中的资金随着时间的推移而减少——我非常希望确保这个问题得到解决。304条款程序是一种这种情况可能发生的方式，”耶伦告诉《华盛顿邮报》。“我不想取消304，因为在我看来这是一条可行的途径。”</blockquote></p><p> Yellen added: “We are in a very unfortunate position in which the Republicans have simply insisted they are not going to cooperate, and there may be other ways to do it.”</p><p><blockquote>耶伦补充道：“我们处于一个非常不幸的境地，共和党人只是坚称他们不会合作，而且可能还有其他方法可以做到这一点。”</blockquote></p><p> With only weeks to resolve the debt ceiling impasse, Senate Majority Leader Charles E. Schumer (D-N.Y.) said in early October that “this body cannot and will not” use the budget reconciliation process to deal with the issue. Democrats argued there was insufficient time to go through the reconciliation process because it would allow Republicans to delay the effort through procedural objections. Congress may have more time to try to use the procedure now.</p><p><blockquote>距离解决债务上限僵局只有几周时间，参议院多数党领袖查尔斯·E·舒默（纽约州民主党人）在10月初表示，“这个机构不能也不会”利用预算调节程序来处理这个问题。民主党人认为，没有足够的时间来完成和解程序，因为这将允许共和党人通过程序性反对来推迟这一努力。国会现在可能有更多时间尝试使用该程序。</blockquote></p><p> President Biden refused to entertain the possibility of Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) not providing the votes necessary to raise the debt ceiling. Asked in October whether he could guarantee the debt ceiling would be resolved, Biden said: “No, I can’t. That’s up to Mitch McConnell.”</p><p><blockquote>拜登总统拒绝考虑参议院少数党领袖米奇·麦康奈尔（肯塔基州共和党人）的可能性。）没有提供提高债务上限所需的选票。10月，当被问及是否能保证债务上限问题得到解决时，拜登表示：“不，我不能。这取决于米奇·麦康奈尔。”</blockquote></p><p> When asked about raising the debt limit through reconciliation, Biden said: “I’m not going to cross that bridge until we have to get there.”</p><p><blockquote>当被问及通过和解提高债务上限时，拜登表示：“在我们必须到达那里之前，我不会跨过那座桥。”</blockquote></p><p> Warren Gunnels, an aide to Senate Budget Chair Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), told The Washington Post in early October: “We’re not doing the debt ceiling through reconciliation. Period. End of discussion.”</p><p><blockquote>参议院预算主席伯尼·桑德斯（佛蒙特州I-Vt.）的助手沃伦·冈内尔斯（Warren Gunnels）在10月初告诉《华盛顿邮报》：“我们不会通过和解来解决债务上限问题。期间。讨论结束。”</blockquote></p><p> The debt ceiling issue is particularly sensitive for Yellen, given the Treasury’s responsibility for managing the federal government’s finances. Yellen’s former position as chairwoman of the Federal Reserve also give her insight into the potential consequences of a default.</p><p><blockquote>鉴于财政部负责管理联邦政府的财政，债务上限问题对耶伦来说尤为敏感。耶伦之前担任美联储主席的职位也让她洞察了违约的潜在后果。</blockquote></p><p> In early October, Yellen endorsed abolishing the debt ceiling altogether — a position not yet taken by the White House or Biden.</p><p><blockquote>10月初，耶伦支持完全废除债务上限——白宫或拜登尚未采取这一立场。</blockquote></p><p> “It is my view — it’s not the White House view; it’s not the president’s view; they haven’t weighed in on this — but I personally feel we should not have a debt ceiling,” Yellen said in Sunday’s interview.</p><p><blockquote>“这是我的观点——这不是白宫的观点；这不是总统的观点；他们没有对此发表意见——但我个人认为我们不应该设定债务上限，”耶伦在周日的采访中表示。</blockquote></p><p></p><p> Yellen has also been told by two of her predecessors that a bipartisan approach to the debt ceiling is not possible. Two former GOP treasury secretaries — Hank Paulson and Steven Mnuchin — previously communicated to Yellen in private that McConnell was not bluffing in his refusal to help Democrats raise the debt ceiling. The rest of the Senate Republican caucus has supported McConnell’s approach.</p><p><blockquote>耶伦的两位前任也告诉她，两党合作解决债务上限问题是不可能的。两位前共和党财长——Hank Paulson和斯蒂芬·姆努钦——此前私下向耶伦传达，McConnell拒绝帮助民主党提高债务上限并非虚张声势。参议院共和党核心小组的其他成员支持麦康奈尔的做法。</blockquote></p><p> Some nonpartisan estimates have found the debt ceiling may not have to be raised until February.</p><p><blockquote>一些无党派估计发现，债务上限可能要到二月份才会提高。</blockquote></p><p> Yellen expressed openness to multiple ways to resolve the debt ceiling impasse. One option she acknowledged was under discussion included changing the debt limit so it automatically resets to whatever level of debt Congress has de facto authorized through new legislation.</p><p><blockquote>耶伦对解决债务上限僵局的多种方式表示持开放态度。她承认正在讨论的一个选项包括改变债务限额，使其自动重置为国会通过新立法事实上授权的债务水平。</blockquote></p><p> “I have not particularly advocated any particular way of doing it. That’s one form I have heard discussed,” Yellen said.</p><p><blockquote>“我没有特别提倡任何特定的方式。这是我听到讨论过的一种形式，”耶伦说。</blockquote></p><p> Yellen has rejected some liberals’ arguments that the administration can resolve the debt ceiling impasse unilaterally. White House officials have gone as far as privately exploring in memos some of these ideas, including a heterodox plan to mint a $1 trillion coin that Yellen has panned.

(Riccardo Antimiani/EPA-EFE/REX/Shutterstock)\n\nSOMEWHERE OVER THE ALPS — Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen on Sunday said Democrats should be willing to approve a fix to the nation’s debt ceiling without GOP support if necessary, an approach senior Democrats ruled out during a recent standoff over the issue.\nIn an interview aboard a government airplane between Rome and Dublin, Yellen castigated Republicans for refusing to help raise the debt limit but acknowledged Democrats may be able to address the issue without GOP support through the Senate budget procedure known as reconciliation.\n\n\nSenior Democratic leaders were adamant that the debt ceiling be resolved on a bipartisan basis last month. Senate Republicans have uniformly insisted that Democrats should alone be responsible for raising the nation’s debt limit. Congress probably will face a deadline of Dec. 3 to act, though the exact date is uncertain.\nThe stalemate brought the U.S. within weeks of a potentially catastrophic default last month, forcing Treasury to deploy “emergency measures” to prevent funds from running out.\n“Should it be done on a bipartisan basis? Absolutely. Now, if they’re not going to cooperate, I don’t want to play chicken and end up not raising the debt ceiling. I think that’s the worst possible outcome,” Yellen told The Washington Post. “If Democrats have to do it by themselves, that’s better than defaulting on the debt to teach the Republicans a lesson.”\nWhile condemning the Republican approach as “completely irresponsible,” Yellen also expressed openness to Democrats using the part of the reconciliation procedure called “Section 304” to resolve the debt ceiling impasse to circumvent the filibuster. Senate Democrats on the budget committee previously ruled out that approach.\nThe debt ceiling sets the maximum amount that the U.S. can borrow under the law. But Congress has also approved spending laws requiring the federal government to run a national debt in excess of this limit. Economists say that breaching the debt ceiling and failing to pay the U.S. government’s outstanding debts — an unprecedented event — would rattle world markets and could plunge the U.S. into an economic recession.\n“To me, as the person who has to pay the bills and watches this on a daily basis — our funds dwindling in our account over time — I very much want to make sure that this is addressed. And this Section 304 procedure is one way in which that could occur,” Yellen told The Washington Post. “I don’t want to take 304 off the table, because it looks to me like a viable route to do it.”\nYellen added: “We are in a very unfortunate position in which the Republicans have simply insisted they are not going to cooperate, and there may be other ways to do it.”\nWith only weeks to resolve the debt ceiling impasse, Senate Majority Leader Charles E. Schumer (D-N.Y.) said in early October that “this body cannot and will not” use the budget reconciliation process to deal with the issue. Democrats argued there was insufficient time to go through the reconciliation process because it would allow Republicans to delay the effort through procedural objections. Congress may have more time to try to use the procedure now.\nPresident Biden refused to entertain the possibility of Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) not providing the votes necessary to raise the debt ceiling. Asked in October whether he could guarantee the debt ceiling would be resolved, Biden said: “No, I can’t. That’s up to Mitch McConnell.”\nWhen asked about raising the debt limit through reconciliation, Biden said: “I’m not going to cross that bridge until we have to get there.”\nWarren Gunnels, an aide to Senate Budget Chair Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), told The Washington Post in early October: “We’re not doing the debt ceiling through reconciliation. Period. End of discussion.”\nThe debt ceiling issue is particularly sensitive for Yellen, given the Treasury’s responsibility for managing the federal government’s finances. Yellen’s former position as chairwoman of the Federal Reserve also give her insight into the potential consequences of a default.\nIn early October, Yellen endorsed abolishing the debt ceiling altogether — a position not yet taken by the White House or Biden.\n“It is my view — it’s not the White House view; it’s not the president’s view; they haven’t weighed in on this — but I personally feel we should not have a debt ceiling,” Yellen said in Sunday’s interview.\nYellen has also been told by two of her predecessors that a bipartisan approach to the debt ceiling is not possible. Two former GOP treasury secretaries — Hank Paulson and Steven Mnuchin — previously communicated to Yellen in private that McConnell was not bluffing in his refusal to help Democrats raise the debt ceiling. The rest of the Senate Republican caucus has supported McConnell’s approach.\nSome nonpartisan estimates have found the debt ceiling may not have to be raised until February.\nYellen expressed openness to multiple ways to resolve the debt ceiling impasse. One option she acknowledged was under discussion included changing the debt limit so it automatically resets to whatever level of debt Congress has de facto authorized through new legislation.\n“I have not particularly advocated any particular way of doing it. That’s one form I have heard discussed,” Yellen said.\nYellen has rejected some liberals’ arguments that the administration can resolve the debt ceiling impasse unilaterally. White House officials have gone as far as privately exploring in memos some of these ideas, including a heterodox plan to mint a $1 trillion coin that Yellen has panned. The administration said last month that those ideas are not actively under consideration.\nYellen traveled Sunday from the “Group of 20” summit in Rome to Dublin to discuss the new global tax accord she was instrumental in approving. She will later head to Glasgow, Scotland, for an international climate summit.","news_type":1,"symbols_score_info":{".SPX":0.9,".IXIC":0.9,".DJI":0.9}},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":708,"commentLimit":10,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false,"reportStatus":false,"symbols":[],"verified":2,"subType":0,"readableState":1,"langContent":"CN","currentLanguage":"CN","warmUpFlag":false,"orderFlag":false,"shareable":true,"causeOfNotShareable":"","featuresForAnalytics":[],"commentAndTweetFlag":false,"andRepostAutoSelectedFlag":false,"upFlag":false,"length":6,"xxTargetLangEnum":"ZH_CN"},"commentList":[],"isCommentEnd":true,"isTiger":false,"isWeiXinMini":false,"url":"/m/post/849520449"}
