Chapter 1545 The American Concept of Success A Happy Family

"Thank the Lord for giving me today's food. Please don't swallow during meals. Please don't hiccup after meals. Please let me absorb everything I eat, so that I can grow healthy and handsome. Amen!"

While holding Ivana's little hand, Andy held his mother's hand, closed his eyes, and prayed before meals, but his prayer was really a bit funny.

Ivana, with her eyes closed, suppressed a smile, her fair and pretty face was slightly flushed, her cheeks were slightly red, and she was licking her lips to prevent herself from laughing.

"hehe..."

"This kid."

Grandpa Old Smith laughed and shook his head, knowing that his grandson didn't like sticking to the tradition very much. Every time he prayed before meals, he liked to use some weird prayers to make trouble since he was a child.

"Dinner."

Everyone unfolded their napkins with smiles on their faces. Li Wanqing and the maid began to divide the meals. Old Smith cut the steak with a knife and fork, and said to Andy, "How is the Overlord's meal that you accompanied him to eat at noon?"

"Not bad, the hot dogs there are really good." Andy said with a smile.

"His public relations and marketing team really have a set, and the image they helped him create is very successful." Alston said with great approval.

"Being a president is not easy. You have to govern the country and also act." Andy joked.

"For a big drama, the acting skills of the actors are of course important, but the director, the camera and the whole fake team are indispensable!" Ivana said with a light smile and shook her head.

"Ha ha..."

Hearing Ivana's words, everyone laughed at the same time.

"After exchanging opinions with you, I'm afraid his biggest worry now is how to spend the trillion dollars he is about to get." Old Smith picked up a piece of beef and put it into his mouth after speaking.

"Indeed, how to spend the 1 trillion US dollars to effectively stimulate the U.S. economy, and whether he can seize the opportunity to adjust the direction of U.S. economic development, is enough for him to have a headache for a while." Alston also nodded in agreement.

The whole family present here, including Ivana who has joined this century-old political family, undoubtedly has a high understanding and interest in American politics. personally participated in the game.

"With the $800 billion stimulus package to begin with, and the remaining half of the financial rescue package at $350 billion, now we do seem to be Keynesian," said Smith Sr., as he ate, "the experts Also thinks that injecting $1 trillion into a dying economy will speed up the engine of goods and services, known as "cumulative aggregate demand," which could stimulate at least some short-term economic activity, even if it's only a fraction of the money thrown into the pit."

"Is 1 trillion a lot?" Andy smiled nonchalantly, put a piece of beef into his mouth, and sneered: "Since his plan was proposed, it has caused the predatory frenzy of this era. The United States Lobbyists of all walks of life, zoos, museums, and everyone who can afford to lobby are now lining up to get a piece of this stimulus package.

To be honest, this money is really not enough for so many people. This is the first tricky plan that will test the capabilities of our new president and his team. In a bad word, this plan is either God or God. devil. "

"Hehe, that's why you lobbied him to include the new energy plan in the first part of the implementation plan? You got what you wanted and became a big winner." Old Smith and Lao Huai teased with a gratified smile.

"No way, his plan is $130 billion in medical care, $100 billion in education, $30 billion in building highways, $10 billion in building subways and railways, and $3 billion in improving airport facilities.

The remaining $275 billion would be used to compensate for the burden of tax cuts. That's 550 billion yuan. If I want to take a piece of the cake, I can only let the new energy projects be implemented early in the first batch of plans.

You know, the new energy plan includes more than 20 billion US dollars in tax rebate subsidies to promote the research and development and production of new energy, allocate 32 billion US dollars to update or build power systems related to new energy, and allocate 31 billion US dollars to promote building energy-saving measures .

Almost all of my Tesla companies are involved, such a big piece of cake, I am sorry to God if I don’t grab it! "

"You child, don't use God's name indiscriminately." Andy's grandma gave Andy a doting look, and reprimanded with a smile on her face.

"Ahem, I'm sorry, grandma." Andy apologized with a smile and coughed lightly.

"The key still depends on how they spend their money smarter. However, it is foreseeable that the chaos and competition around this $1 trillion will continue. Look, the excitement is still to come." Oss Dun narrowed his eyes slightly, and raised the corners of his mouth, revealing a vague sneer.

"At least, the Washington lobby group will make a lot of money." Ivana said with a smile, her eyes twinkling.

As soon as she finished speaking, Old Smith cast his eyes on her, with a satisfied and kind smile on his face, and nodded with a smile: "Indeed, the lobby group will become a big winner. However, I heard from Guan Hai before that after he took office, The first thing to do is to take the lobby group as a knife..."

As he said that, Old Smith couldn't help showing a sneer of disdain, "He's messing with everyone's cheese! Don't talk about other people's attitudes, even within the donkey party, there will be people who pick out trouble, and the final result is that we The new president has been disgraced by his own people, and the network of lobbying forces here is huge and deeply rooted, and it is difficult for anyone to shake their position. He wants to shake this huge machine with an executive order, hehe, he is thinking too much."

The smile on Ivana's face became brighter and more charming. Andy smiled and looked at her, then looked at Old Smith and asked, "Grandpa, shall we sit on the right side of the podium tomorrow?"

"Well, behind the Flying Shoes couple, you and Ivana are important guests."

Auston's mouth twitched unnaturally, and he looked at his son with melancholy eyes. You must know that he, a member of the House of Representatives, does not sit in such a front seat, but his son is fine, sitting in the second row, damn it!

"Who will be absent?" Andy asked curiously as he looked at his grandfather with twinkling eyes.

As soon as he asked the question, everyone's eyes focused on Old Smith's face, and Ivana blinked her big eyes and looked at Andy with some confusion, and followed everyone to look at Old Smith.

"Secretary of Defense Gates." Old Smith said the name casually while drinking the soup with a spoon.

Ivana blinked her big eyes and watched everyone hold their mouths and shrugged. She looked at Andy with a questioning look, and Andy turned her head to Ivana's ear and said, "He didn't attend to make sure In the event of any emergency, the government will not be left without a leader..."

Ivana opened her eyes wide and nodded suddenly.

It turns out that due to the current president Xiao Feixie, the incoming president Guan Hai and the officials who hold the core power of the country will all attend the inauguration ceremony. According to the usual practice, there will be a high-level member who will not attend such activities where high-ranking officials gather, such as Tomorrow's new president's inauguration ceremony, Secretary of Defense Gates will be in an undisclosed place at that time, so as to avoid emergencies such as terrorist attacks or catastrophes, and avoid a situation where there is no leader.

After dinner, the whole family sat around the burning fireplace, drinking the best Blue Mountain coffee and chatting. From time to time, they could hear the laughter of everyone, full of warmth and harmony.

Ivana was covered with a blanket and snuggled into Andy's arms. Andy stroked her golden hair from time to time, chatted with his family about his previous sea trips, and told the story of dolphins chasing the Quicksilver in groups. Scenes.

"From what you said, are you going to finish your inauguration ceremony and continue your sea voyage?" Alston frowned slightly, looked at his son, and asked in a strange tone.

"Of course, I will fly to HK and continue the voyage after rendezvous with the Quicksilver." Andy raised his eyebrows and shrugged, as if you guessed it right, and said indifferently.

"You are really free enough. If you have time, you might as well spend more time with Ivana and your college studies..." Auston was so free and wanton to enjoy his enchanting son, then I'm really a little envious and jealous, especially the indifferent, nothing-remarkable look, which makes people have an urge to beat him up.
