美国总统奥巴马敦促美国遭到重创的金融业支持他的“具有常识性的”改革提议。
奥巴马在纽约发表了一次重要讲话。纽约众多金融公司在全球金融危机最严重的时候曾面临倒闭的危险。
奥巴马将一些公司的倒闭归罪于公司“草率”冒险和政府监管不力。他说，许多公司对最近经济复苏的迹象有误解，而忽视了这次危机带来的教训。
他说，那些批评改变监管体制会使经济放缓并损害市场的说法是错误的。他说，有效的理性监管对市场正常运作至关重要。
总统说，由纳税人挽救而避免破产的金融公司有责任帮助那些目前面临严重问题的房产主、小企业主和其他的人。
President Barack Obama urged the battered U.S. financial sector to support his “common sense” reforms.
Mr. Obama spoke in a major address in New York City, home to many of the financial firms that faced collapse at the height of the global financial crisis.
Mr. Obama blamed the collapse on “reckless” risk taking and failed regulatory schemes. He said many companies are misreading recent signs of economic recovery and ignoring the lessons of the crisis.
He said critics who say changing the regulatory system would slow the economy and hurt markets are wrong. He said effective, sensible rules are critical to the proper functioning of markets.
The President said financial firms who were bailed out by the taxpayers have an obligation to help homeowners, small businesses and others now facing serious problems.
