美國政壇停擺

????這是一次200年不遇的事件,。共和黨總統(tǒng)預選的經歷比乘坐過山車還要跌宕起伏（其間還包括不同尋常的失禮,、震驚和恐怖）,。在2011年最后的幾個小時中，美國國會（Congress）發(fā)現(xiàn)自己無力彌合兩黨分歧,，通過減稅延長法案,。隨著總統(tǒng)大選的到來，局勢只會越來越惡劣,。而且政界似乎已經選擇了破罐子破摔,。

Politics has totally stopped working

????This one is 200 years in the making. The Republican presidential primary race has had more ups and downs than a rollercoaster (plus a larger-than-usual share of gaffes, shocks and horrors). And in the final wee hours of the year, Congress finds itself incapable of passing a tax cut extension that both parties essentially agree on. Things are only likely to get worse as the election approaches. It's like they aren't trying.
