Mu pempho laposachedwapa la bajeti, kayendedwe ka Trump akufunsira pafupi-mbiri $ Biliyoni 750 kwa Pentagon ndi zochitika zina zotetezera, chiwerengero chodabwitsa ndi njira iliyonse. Ngati zidaperekedwa ndi Congress, zidzakhala imodzi mwazikulu zandale za nkhondo ku America, kuwombera Mipingo yapamtunda inkafika pa Nkhondo za Korea ndi Vietnam. Ndipo muzisunga chinthu chimodzi m'malingaliro: $ 750 biliyoni akuimira gawo limodzi la mtengo weniweni wapachaka wa dziko lathu la chitetezo.
Pali osachepera 10 miphika yapadera ya ndalama zoperekedwa kumenyana ndi nkhondo, kukonzekera nkhondo zina zambiri, ndi kuthana ndi zotsatira za nkhondo zomwe zakhala zitamenyedwa kale. Kotero nthawi yotsatira a pulezidenti, ndi ambiri, ndi mlembi wa chitetezo, kapena a hawkish membala wa Congress amatsutsa kuti asilikali a US akupatsidwa ndalama zambiri, aganizire mobwerezabwereza. Kuyang'anitsitsa mosamala ndalama za US kuteteza kumapereka chidziwitso choyenera kuzinena zolakwika.
Tsopano, tiyeni titenge ulendo wochepa wa dola ndi dola ku boma la US chitetezo cha dziko la 2019, kuwerengera ndalama zonse zomwe tikupita, ndikuwona kumene ife potsiriza timakhala (kapena mwina mawu akuti "ayambe"), kuyankhula mwachuma .
Budget ya "Base" ya Pentagon: Bajeti ya Pentagon, kapena "pansi," ikukonzedwa kuti ikhale $ 544.5 biliyoni mu chaka chachuma 2020, ndalama zowonongeka koma ndalama zochepa zowonjezera pa ndalama zonse zankhondo.
Monga momwe mungaganizire, bajetiyi imapereka ndalama zogwirira ntchito ku Dipatimenti ya Chitetezo, zomwe zambiri zidzasokonezeka pokonzekera nkhondo zopitiriza zomwe sizinavomerezedwe ndi Congress, zida zankhondo zopitirira malire zomwe sizifunikira kwenikweni, kapena zowonongeka, Gawo lachidule lomwe limaphatikizapo zonse kuchokera ku mtengo wopita kuntchito zosafunikira. Ndalama za 544.5 biliyoni ndizo ndalama zomwe Pentagon imalengeza pazinthu zofunika komanso zimagwiranso ntchito $ 9.6 biliyoni zomwe zimayenera kugwira ntchito zomwe zikupita kuzinthu monga kupuma pantchito.
Zina mwazofunikira, tiyeni tiyambe ndi zowonongeka, gulu ngakhale ndalama zowonjezera za Pentagon sitingathe kuteteza. Pentagon's Own Defense Business Board inapeza kuti kudula pamwamba mopanda pake, kuphatikizapo malo osungira maboma komanso ntchito yaikulu yamthunzi ya makontrakitala, sungani $ 125 biliyoni pazaka zisanu. Mwina simudzadabwa kumva kuti pempholi lakhala lopanda malire kuti lipeze ndalama zambiri. M'malo mwake, kuchokera ku kufika kwakukulu ya Pentagon (ndi pulezidenti iye mwini) anadza pempholo kupanga bungwe la Space Force, ntchito yachisanu ndi chimodzi yokha basi koma yotsimikiziridwa kuti iwonongeke maofesi ake kutsanzira ntchito kale ikuchitidwa ndi misonkhano ina. Ngakhale Pentagon akukonzekera kuti dziko la Space Force lidzadutsa $ 13 biliyoni pazaka zisanu zotsatira (ndipo mosakayika pali mpira wa mpira wotsika).
Kuphatikiza apo, Dipatimenti Yachitetezo imagwiritsa ntchito gulu lamakampani azinsinsi - Kuposa 600,000 Mwa iwo - ambiri akuchita ntchito zomwe zitha kuchitidwa motchipa kwambiri ndi ogwira ntchito zaboma. Kudula ogwira ntchito payokha ndi 15% mpaka a chabe anthu theka la milioni amatha kupulumutsa mofulumira $ 20 biliyoni pachaka. Ndipo musaiwale izo ndalama zodutsa pamapulogalamu akulu azida monga Ground-Based Strategic Deterrent - dzina losavomerezeka la Pentagon lachiwombankhanga chatsopano cha Air Force - komanso kulipira pafupipafupi kwa ziwalo zina zazing'ono (monga $8,000 kwa ndege ya helikopita yotsika mtengo kuposa $ 500, kupitirira kwa 1,500%).
Ndiye pali zida zankhondo zopitirira malire zomwe asilikali sangakwanitse kuchita monga $ 13-biliyoni ndege zonyamulira ndege, 200 mabomba a nyukiliya pa $ 564 miliyoni pop, ndi ndege za F-35 zolimbana, zida zamtengo wapatali kwambiri m'mbiri, pa mtengo wamtengo wapatali $ 1.4 zankhaninkhani, pa nthawi yonse ya pulogalamuyi. Project On Government Oversight (POGO) ili ndi apezeka - ndi Office Accountability Office posachedwa zowonjezera - kuti, ngakhale atakhala zaka zambiri akugwira ntchito komanso kukwera mtengo, F-35 mwina singagulitsidwe.
Ndipo musaiwale za Pentagon posachedwapa Kankhani ndi zida zatsopano zowonetsera zida zankhondo zomwe zidzakonzekere nkhondo zamtsogolo ndi Russia kapena China, zida zotere zomwe zikhoza kuwonjezeka mu nkhondo yoyamba ya padziko lonse, kumene zida zankhondozi zikanakhala pambali. Tangoganizirani ngati ndalama zilizonse zodzipereka zodziwa momwe zingapeweretse mikangano imeneyi, m'malo mozengereza njira zowonjezera.
Chiwerengero cha Budget chiwerengero cha $ 554.1 biliyoni
Ndalama ya Nkhondo: Monga kuti bajeti yake yanthawi zonse sinali yokwanira, Pentagon imasunganso ndalama zake zokha, zotchedwa akaunti ya Overseas Contingency Operations, kapena OCO. Mwachidziwitso, ndalamazi zimayenera kulipirira nkhondo yolimbana ndi uchigawenga - ndiye kuti, nkhondo zaku US ku Afghanistan, Iraq, Somalia, Syria, ndi kwina konse ku Middle East ndi Africa. Mwachizolowezi, zimachita izi ndi zina zambiri.
Pambuyo pomenya nkhondo yotseka boma zidapangitsa kuti pakhale komiti yothandizana ndi anthu ochepetsa kuchepa kwa ndalama - yotchedwa Simpson-Bowles pambuyo pamipando yawo, Chief Clinton of Staff Erskine Bowles komanso Senator wakale wa Republican Alan Simpson - Congress idapereka Budget Control Act ya 2011. Anagwiritsira ntchito mwachindunji ndalama zonse zankhondo ndi zapakhomo zomwe zimayenera kusunga zonse $ 2 zankhaninkhani, pa zaka 10. Gawo la chiwerengero chimenecho chinali kuchokera ku Pentagon, komanso kuchokera ku zida za nyukiliya zomwe zimagwiritsidwa ntchito pa Dipatimenti ya Mphamvu. Zomwe zinachitikazo, zinalipo zazikulu: ndondomeko ya nkhondoyo sinali yoperekera ku zipewazo. Pentagon mwamsanga anayamba kuika masauzande makumi mabiliyoni za madola kuti zikhale zopanda ntchito zopanda kanthu zogwirizana ndi nkhondo zamakono (ndipo ndondomekoyi siinaime). Kuchuluka kwa nkhanza za thumba ili kunalibe chinsinsi kwa zaka, ndi Pentagon kuvomereza kokha mu 2016 kuti theka lokha la ndalama mu OCO lidapita kunkhondo zenizeni, zomwe zidapangitsa otsutsa komanso mamembala ambiri a Congress - kuphatikiza a Congressman panthawiyo Mick Mulvaney, wamkulu wamkulu wa Purezidenti Trump - dubndi "thumba la ndalama".
Cholinga cha bajeti chaka chino chimapangitsa kuti ndalamazo zikhale zopanda pake ngati sizili mbali ya Pentagon bajeti. Pafupifupi $ 174 biliyoni omwe akufuna kukonza ndondomeko ya nkhondo ndi "thandizo lachangu," pang'ono chabe kuposa $ Biliyoni 25 amatanthauza kulipira mwachindunji nkhondo za Iraq, Afghanistan, ndi kwina kulikonse. Zina zonse zidzaikidwa pambali pa zomwe zimatchedwa "kupirira" zomwe zidzapitirize ngakhale nkhondoyo itatha, kapena kulipira ntchito za Pentagon zimene sitingathe kuzipeza potsutsana ndi mavuto a bajeti. Bungwe la Democratic Representative House of Representatives likuyenera kuyesetsa kusintha izi. Ngakhale kuti utsogoleri wa Nyumbayi uyenera kukhala ndi njira yake, komabe, kuchepetsa kuchepetsa nkhondoyi kungakhale kuthetsa mwa kukweza makapu pa bajeti ya Pentagon nthawi zonse. (Ndikoyenera kudziwa kuti bajeti ya Pulezidenti Trump imafuna tsiku lina kuthetsa ndalamazo.)
2020 OCO imaphatikizansopo $ Biliyoni 9.2 pogwiritsa ntchito "ndalama" pofuna kumanga mpanda wokondedwa wa Trump pa malire a US-Mexico, pakati pa zinthu zina. Kambiranani za thumba la ndalama! Palibe zoopsa, ndithudi. Nthambi yayikulu ikungotenga ndalama za msonkho zomwe Congress inakana kupereka. Ngakhale othandizira pakhoma la pulezidenti ayenera kukhala ndi nkhawa ndi ndalamazi. Monga anthu a 36 omwe kale anali Republican Congress posachedwapa anakangana, "Ndi mphamvu ziti zomwe zimaperekedwa kwa Pulezidenti omwe ndondomeko zomwe mumathandizira zingagwiritsidwe ntchito ndi aphungu omwe muli ndi malamulo omwe mumanyansidwa nao." Pa "chitetezo" chonse cha Trump-zokhudzana ndi zokambirana, izi mosakayikira zikhoza kuthetsedwa, kapena mmbuyo, kuperekedwa kwa akuluakulu a Democrats motsutsa izo.
