Leave it to the famously plainspoken Alan Simpson,
Republican co-chair of President Obama's deficit commission,
to boil it all down. He says the president's budget is still drowning
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
in red ink for one reason: politics as usual.
^^^^^^^^^^
紅墨水? 赤字的意思嗎?
還有一句SIMPSON: It isn't going away. This is a stink bomb
^^^^^^^^^^臭炸彈?
in the garden party.
請問boil it all down, in red ink還有stink bomb是什麼意思?
感謝大家<(_ _)>
