Ndi David Swanson

A House of Representatives atuluka kunja kwa tawuni kukakumbukira nkhondo popanda kukwanitsa kukwaniritsa mgwirizano ndi Nyumba ya Senate pakuvomerezanso zina mwankhanza kwambiri "zakanthawi" za PATRIOT Act. Zikondwerero zitatu za tchuthi cha Congressional!

Nanga bwanji ngati si ufulu wathu wamba koma bajeti yathu idabwerera pang'ono mu 2001?

Mu 2001, ndalama zankhondo za US zinali $ 397 biliyoni, zomwe zidakwera kufika pa $ 720 biliyoni mu 2010, ndipo tsopano zili pa $ 610 biliyoni mu 2015. Ziwerengerozi zochokera ku Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (nthawi zonse za 2011 madola) zimapatula malipiro a ngongole. , ndalama za asilikali ankhondo, ndi chitetezo chapachiweniweni, zomwe zimakweza chiŵerengerocho kufika pa $ 1 thililiyoni pachaka tsopano, osawerengera ndalama zomwe boma ndi dera likuwononga pa usilikali.

Ndalama zankhondo tsopano ndi 54% ya ndalama za federal discretionary ku US malinga ndi National Priorities Project. Zina zonse - ndi mkangano wonse momwe omasuka amafuna ndalama zambiri komanso osamala amafuna zochepa! - zili mkati mwa 46% ina ya bajeti.

Ndalama zankhondo zaku US, malinga ndi SIPRI, ndi 35% yapadziko lonse lapansi. US ndi Europe amapanga 56% yapadziko lonse lapansi. A US ndi ogwirizana nawo padziko lonse lapansi (ali ndi asitikali m'maiko 175, ndipo mayiko ambiri ali ndi zida zambiri ndi makampani aku US) ndiwo amawononga ndalama zambiri padziko lonse lapansi.

Iran imawononga 0.65% ya ndalama zankhondo zapadziko lonse lapansi (monga 2012, chaka chatha chomwe chilipo). Ndalama zankhondo zaku China zakhala zikukwera kwazaka zambiri ndipo zakwera kuyambira 2008 ndi pivot yaku US kupita ku Asia, kuchoka pa $107 biliyoni mu 2008 mpaka pano $216 biliyoni. Koma akadali 12% chabe ya ndalama zapadziko lonse lapansi.

Pa munthu aliyense US tsopano ikugwiritsa ntchito madola 1,891 aku US kwa munthu aliyense ku United States, poyerekeza ndi $242 pa munthu padziko lonse lapansi, kapena $165 pa munthu aliyense padziko lapansi kunja kwa US, kapena $155 pa munthu aliyense ku China.

Kuchuluka kwa ndalama zankhondo zaku US sikunapangitse US kapena dziko kukhala lotetezeka. Kumayambiriro kwa "nkhondo yolimbana ndi zigawenga" boma la US lidasiya kunena za uchigawenga, pomwe zidakula. Global Terrorism Index ikulemba a kuwonjezeka kokhazikika pa zigawenga kuyambira 2001 mpaka pano. Kafukufuku wa Gallup m'maiko 65 kumapeto kwa 2013 adapeza kuti dziko la United States likuwoneka ngati lomwe likuwopseza kwambiri mtendere padziko lapansi. Iraq yasinthidwa kukhala gehena, ndi Libya, Afghanistan, Yemen, Pakistan, ndi Somalia pafupi. Zigawenga zomwe zangokwiya kumene zabuka chifukwa cha uchigawenga wa US komanso kuwonongeka komwe kwatsala. Ndipo mpikisano wa zida zankhondo wayambika womwe umapindulitsa okhawo ogulitsa zida.

Koma ndalamazo zakhala ndi zotsatira zina. US yakwera m'maiko asanu apamwamba padziko lonse lapansi chifukwa cha kusiyana kwachuma. The 10th dziko lolemera kwambiri padziko lapansi pa munthu aliyense samawoneka wolemera mukamayendetsa. Ndipo muyenera kuyendetsa, ndi makilomita 0 a njanji yothamanga kwambiri; koma apolisi aku US aku US ali ndi zida zankhondo tsopano. Ndipo muyenera kusamala mukayendetsa. American Society of Civil Engineers imapatsa US zomangamanga D+. Madera amizinda ngati Detroit asanduka bwinja. Malo okhalamo alibe madzi kapena ali ndi poizoni chifukwa cha kuwonongeka kwa chilengedwe - nthawi zambiri kuchokera kunkhondo. US tsopano ili pagulu 35th ufulu wosankha zochita ndi moyo wako, 36th m'nthawi ya moyo, 47th kuletsa kufa kwa makanda, 57th mu ntchito, ndi njira in maphunziro by zosiyanasiyana miyeso.

Ngati ndalama zankhondo zaku US zidangobwezeredwa ku milingo ya 2001, ndalama zokwana $213 biliyoni pachaka zitha kukwaniritsa zofunikira izi:

Kuthetsa njala ndi njala padziko lonse lapansi - $30 biliyoni pachaka.
Perekani madzi akumwa abwino padziko lonse lapansi - $ 11 biliyoni pachaka.
Perekani koleji yaulere ku United States - $ 70 biliyoni pachaka (malinga ndi malamulo a Senate).
Thandizo lakunja la US kawiri - $ 23 biliyoni pachaka.
Pangani ndi kukonza njanji yothamanga kwambiri ku US - $30 biliyoni pachaka.
Ikani ndalama mu mphamvu za dzuwa ndi zongowonjezwdwa kuposa kale - $20 biliyoni pachaka.
Limbikitsani ndalama zoyendetsera mtendere kuposa kale - $ 10 biliyoni pachaka.

Izi zitha kusiya $ 19 biliyoni yotsala pachaka kuti alipire ngongole.

Mwina munganene kuti ndine wolota, koma uwu ndi moyo ndi imfa. Nkhondo imapha kwambiri ndi momwe ndalama sizimawonongedwera kusiyana ndi momwe zimagwiritsidwira ntchito.
