Na David Swanson, World BEYOND War, Ianuali 7, 2020
A palapala hoopii i kākoʻo ʻia e World BEYOND War, RootsAction.org, a me Daily Kos, ua hōʻuluʻulu ʻia ʻoi aku ma luna o 12,000 mau inoa inoa mai nā poʻe e noi ana i nā poʻe pelekikena pelekikena e hāpai kālā.
ʻO kahi hana nui a kekahi pelekikena o ʻAmelika ʻo ia ka hāʻawi ʻana i kahi kālā kālā i ka makahiki i ka ʻepekema. Hiki i ka hoʻolālā nui o ke kumukūʻai hiki ke loaʻa i kahi papa inoa a i kahi pakuhi pie e kamaʻilio nei - ma nā kālā kālā a me / a i ʻole nā pakeneka - pehea ka nui o ke kālā e pono ai e hele i kahi.
E like me kā mākou i ʻike ai, ʻaʻohe kanaka i koho ʻole ʻia no ka pelekikena o US no ka mea i hoʻopuka ai i ka pākuʻi ʻana o ka waihona kālā i manaʻo ʻia, ʻaʻohe no ka hoʻopaʻapaʻa a i ʻole nā ʻikepili nui hou ke noi aku nei no kekahi. Aia nā māka i kēia manawa nā mea e hāpai nei i nā loli nui i ka hoʻonaʻauao, mālama olakino, kaiāulu, a me ka mālama ʻana o ka pūʻali koa. Akā, ʻo nā helu, ke kū nei i a hewa ʻole. Pehea, a he aha paha ka pakeneka, makemake lākou e kau i hea?
ʻAʻole mākou e ʻike inā ʻaʻole mākou e nīnau. ʻO ka ke hoʻomau nei ka noi ʻana i ka hōʻiliʻili i nā inoa.
Makemake kekahi o nā moho e hana i kahi hoʻolālā kālā / hoʻolālā ʻauhau pū kekahi. "Ma hea ʻoe e hānai ai i ke kālā?" He mea nui ka nīnau e like me "ʻAuhea ʻoe e hāʻawi ai i ke kālā?" ʻO ka mea āu e noi ai ma kahi hapa ʻokoʻa loa ʻo ia ka hope.
Ua hoʻokaʻawale ka Waihona kālā o US i nā ʻano ʻekolu o ke kumukūʻai aupuni o ʻAmelika. ʻO ka nui loa ka mana kauoha. ʻO kēia ka mea i hana nui ʻia e ka Social Security, Medicare, a me Medicaid, akā mālama pū kekahi ʻo Veterans a me nā mea ʻē aʻe. ʻO ka liʻiliʻi loa o nā ʻanoʻina ʻekolu he hoihoi i ka hōʻaiʻē. I waena o ka māhele i kapa ʻia ʻo ka hoʻokaʻawale kūpono. ʻO kēia ke kālā e hoʻoholo ai ka Congress e pehea e hoʻolōʻihi ai i kēlā me kēia makahiki. ʻO ka mea a mākou e noi ai i nā poʻe pelekikena i koho ʻia no kahi pākuhi kumu ʻokoʻa kūlike o ka hoʻokūkā kūwila. E lilo kēia i mea e nānā ai i nā mea e nīnau ai kēlā me kēia moho i ka ʻAmelika no ka pelekikena.
Eia pehea ke Kumuhana Papakololei hoike ma ka papa kuhikuhi holoʻokoʻa o ke Aupuni US e hoʻopau ana ma 2018: 
E ʻike ʻoe i hoʻokaʻawale ʻia ka Discretionary Spending i ʻelua māhele ākea: ka pūʻali koa, a me nā mea āpau ʻē aʻe. Eia kekahi hoʻomaha hou loa mai ka ʻekena ʻoihana kālā ʻoihana.
E nānā ʻoe aia ka mālama ʻana i nā mea mālama holoholona ma aneʻi a me ka hoʻolilo ʻana i nā kuikahi, a ua helu ʻia ʻo ia me ka pūʻali koa ʻole. Eia nō hoʻi helu ʻia he mau pūʻali koa ʻole he mau mea kaua i loko o ka "Energy" Department, a me nā ʻoihana ʻē aʻe a me nā koina o nā pūʻali koa.
ʻO Pelekikena Trump ke pelekikena mua no ka pelekikena i 2020 i hoʻopuka i ka hoʻolālā manaʻo. Eia kāna mea hou ma lalo nei, ma o ka National priorities Project. (E ʻike ʻoe i nā Energy, and Homeland Security, a me Veterans Affairs i nā ʻokoʻa āpau, akā "ua piʻi ka" Defense "i ka 57% o ka hoʻolimalima pololei ʻana.)
Ua hāʻawi ʻo Kongres i ke kālā he hōʻaiʻē hou aku iā Trump ma mua o ka mea i noi ʻia ai.
He aha kāu e noi ai? Loaʻa iā ʻoe i noi ia?
