若共和党在大选中胜出并控制众议院和参议院，那么他们可能会大幅度地削减、取消甚至逆转奥巴马的不少举措，实行税收和福利改革，采取更有纪律性的财政政策。
A Republican presidential victory, together with Republican control of the House and Senate, would likely lead to substantial reduction, repeal, and replacement of many Obama initiatives, attempts to reform taxes and entitlements, and measures to impose greater fiscal discipline.
