我相信我们可以找到更多领域削减开支，而不削减教育、职业培训、科研和技术等对我们在21世纪经济中的繁荣至关重要的事业的开支。

I believe we can find more places to cut spending without shortchanging things like education, job training, research and technology all which are critical to our prosperity in a 21st century economy.

鉴于过去十年我们把财政赤字问题悬而不决，因此除非现在削减不必要的开支，否则我们没法负担这样的投入。

Given the deficits that have mounted up over the past decade, we can't afford to make these investments unless we're also willing to cut what we don't need.
