  Barack Obama defeated John McCain in the longest and most costly presidential campaign in

American history. The election results were widely seen as a strong statement by voters(选民) on economy(经济). A public opinion study reported by the Wall Street Journal found that about sixty percent of voters considered the economy as the top issue(热点问题).

  Mr. Obama faces the deepest economic crisis(危机) since the Great Depression of the 1930s. The Dow Jones Industrial Average of leading stocks(主要股票) has lost nearly thirty of its value. The government seized the nation’s two largest home financing companies(两家最大的金融公司), Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. It also took control of the huge insurance company(保险公司), A. I. G.  The government is now a share holder in nine of the country’s largest banks. That will expand to small banks , too. The amount spent on these rescue plans has been close to one trillion dollars. That amount could increase.

   Another problem the new administration faces is the budget deficit(赤字). Some experts predict the deficit for next year’s budget could be close to one trillion dollars. Some observers predict that the deficit will limit speeding in economic programs.

  Barack Obama has promised a tax cut for middle income Americans. He is seeking fifty billion dollars in aid for states and job creation programs. Mr. Obama has put forward a health care reform plan that costs fifty to sixty-five billion dollars. Obama is also seeking to spend one hundred and fifty billion dollars on new energy technologies over the next ten years.

  In addition, Mr. Obama has been discussing a program worth one hundred billion dollars. It includes spending in public works projects and aid to American states, cities and citizens.
