Obama: The Change We Need This is a defining moment in our history. We face the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression -- 760,000 workers have lost their jobs this year. Businesses and families cant get credit. Home values are falling, and pensions are disappearing. Wages are lower than theyve been in a decade, at a time when the costs of health care and college have never been higher. Pension退休金 n [p?n??n] Wage 报酬、工资 n At a moment like this, we cant afford four more years of spending increases, poorly designed tax cuts, or the complete lack of regulatory oversight that even former Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan now believes was a mistake. America needs a new direction. Thats why Im running for president of the United States. Regulatory 管理的 控制的 a [r?gj?l?,tor?] Oversight失察 疏忽之错误 n Tomorrow, you can give this country the change we need. My opponent, Senator McCain, has served his country honorably. He can even point to a few moments in the past where he has broken from his party. But over the past eight years, hes voted with President Bush 90% of the time. And when it comes to the economy, he still cant tell the American people one major thing hed do differently from George Bush. Senator参议员 Its not change to come up with a tax plan that doesnt give a penny of relief to more than 100 million middle-class Americans -- a plan that even the National Review and other conservative organizations complain does far too little to benefit the middle class. Its not change to add more than $5 trillion to the deficits weve run up in recent years. Its not change to come up with a plan to address our housing crisis that puts another $300 billion of taxpayer money at risk -- a plan that the editorial board of this newspaper said raises more questions than it answers.
