一封致總統的公開信
An Open Letter to the President

「國會要作的事應該是為這個國家著想,而非圖一時政治投機而已。」
紐約市市長彭博麥於二零一零年四月十二日

“What Congress should be doing is what’s right for the country, not what is politically popular at the time.”
– New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, April 12, 2010


敬愛的總統先生:
Dear Mr. President:

我們已無法繼續妥協,而現在是時候該行動了。
We couldn’t agree more. And the time to act is now.

同您一樣,我們關注這迫在眉睫的金融改制已有時日。這亦是為何我們於三年前便向兩黨提議進行大刀闊斧地改革。
Like you, we have been focused on the urgent need for financial regulatory reform for some time. That is why three years ago we proposed bipartisan, sweeping reforms.

自上次大修金融規章已過七十五年。商業公司支持有所改革,也需要這樣的改革。美國經濟復甦更是要看這些改革作得如何。只有作好了,各大小企業纔能有資金雇新人,發新品,及尋得新主顧。
It’s been 75 years since we last overhauled our financial regulations. Business supports and needs reforms. The American economic recovery depends on getting these reforms right so that businesses of all sizes can get the cash they need to creat new jobs, invest in new products, and find new customers.
