Wolemba David Swanson, October 22, 2019

Zambiri Zopita patsogolo kwa kanthawi zikuwoneka ngati gulu lina la US PEP (Kupitilira Mtendere). Amatulutsa malipoti ofunikira kuponyera pamitu yamitundu yonse ngati 96% yaanthu ilibe. Mfundo zakunja sizimapezeka. Adandiuza kuti akungofika. Simungathe kuzipeza patsamba lawebusayiti yawo (kapena ndi luso langa kuyenda), koma Data for Progress tsopano yafalitsa lipoti lotchedwa "Ovotera Akufuna Kuwona Kupititsa Pafupifupi kwa Ndondomeko Zaku America."

Adagwiritsa ntchito "1,009 zoyankhulana za omwe adadziwonetsa kale ovota, opangidwa ndi YouGov pa intaneti. Zoyesazi zinali zolemera malinga ndi jenda, zaka, mtundu, maphunziro, US Census dera, ndi kusankha kwa prezidenti wa 2016. Omwe adafunsidwa adasankhidwa pagulu la YouGov kuti akhale nthumwi ya anthu omwe adalembetsa. "Ili ndi funso:

"Malinga ndi budget Budget Office, United States ikuyembekezeka kugwiritsa ntchito $ 738 biliyoni pa asitikali ake ku 2020. Ndizo zochulukirapo kuposa maiko asanu ndi awiri otsatira kuphatikizira momwe bajeti ya US imaphunzirira, makhothi amilandu, nyumba zodalirika, chitukuko cha zachuma, ndi dipatimenti ya Boma pamodzi. Ena akuti kukhalabe ndi gulu lalikulu lankhondo padziko lonse ndikofunikira kuti titetezeke, ndipo ndizoyenera kuwonongera. Ena amati ndalama zitha kugwiritsidwa ntchito bwino pazosowa zapakhomo monga chisamaliro chaumoyo, maphunziro, kapena kuteteza chilengedwe. Kutengera ndi zomwe mwawerengazi, mungalimbikitse kapena kutsutsa kusinthitsa ndalama kuchokera ku bajeti ya Pentagon kupita ku zinthu zina zofunika? "

Ambiri a 52% amathandizira kapena "amathandizira mwamphamvu" lingaliroli (29% idachilikiza mwamphamvu), pomwe 32% imatsutsa (20%). Ngati chiganizo chikuyambira kuti "Zaposa. . . "Idasiyidwa, 51% idathandizira lingaliro (30% mwamphamvu), pomwe 36% imatsutsa (19% mwamphamvu).

Zachidziwikire kuti pali vuto lalikulu ndi zabodza zomwe anthu amaganiza kuti bajeti ya Pentagon ndiyo ndalama zausirikali, zomwe ndi madola mabiliyoni akupita ku "Homeland Security," ndi maukazitape omwe ali mu dipatimenti ya "mphamvu", komanso zinsinsi zonse Mabungwe ankhondo, komanso ndalama zomwe ankhondo akugwiritsa ntchito ndi State Department, ndi Veterans Administration, ndi zina zambiri zowonjezera mpaka $ 1.25 trillion pachaka, osati $ 738 biliyoni. Pali vuto pokana bajeti ya dipatimenti ya Boma ku bajeti yankhondo pomwe zochuluka zomwe dipatimenti ya Boma imachita ndi zankhondo. Pali vuto ponena kuti ndalama zisamalidwe ku chithandizo chamankhwala, kuti anthu ku United States amagwiritsa ntchito kawiri zomwe amafunikira paumoyo; amangogwiritsidwa ntchito mwangozi pa othandizira odwala. Pali vuto pakusankha kukhala wankhondo kapena kugwiritsa ntchito nyumba. Bwanji osamenya nkhondo kapena kugwiritsa ntchito mwamtendere? Achikunja komanso onyenga onse amakhulupirira kuti United States igawane chuma chake ndi dziko m'njira zina kupatula nkhondo. "Kuteteza chilengedwe" si "zosowa zapakhomo" - ndi ntchito yapadziko lonse lapansi. Lingaliro lankhondo loteteza anthu kuti akhale otetezeka silikugwirizana ndi zinthu zina zofunikira koma kudziwa kuti kumapangitsa anthu kukhala otetezeka. Etc.

Komabe, izi ndizotsimikizira zina zachiwonetsero chaku US zomwe zikuthandizira pomaliza nkhondo. Kuti imagwiritsa ntchito molondola mawu oti "ankhondo" m'malo mwa "chitetezo" komanso kuti amafunsira kusunthira ndalama kuti athandizire zinthu zofunikira ndi njira yodula kuponyera komwe kumachitika nthawi zambiri, zomwe sizichitika kawirikawiri, ngati zomwe akuti zomwe akutchingira chitetezo zitha kukwera kapena pansi.

Kuti chiganizo chimodzi chomwe chinali chofuna kudziwitsa anthu za momwe amalonda anali ndi mphamvu zochepa sichingakhale chifukwa chinali lingaliro loipa koma chifukwa chinali chiganizo chimodzi. Monga ndidazindikira zaka zisanu ndi zitatu zapitazo, tili ndi zisankho zomwe zikuwonetsa kuti 25% yokha ku US akuganiza kuti boma lawo lizigwiritsa ntchito ndalama zochulukirachulukira pazankhondo monga mtundu wotsatira wankhondo, koma 32% yokha (osati 75%) yomwe imagwiritsa ntchito ndalama zambiri kwambiri. Ndalama zankhondo zaku US kuzungulira m'madipatimenti aboma ambiri ndizoposa katatu ndalama zaku China. Malipilo ku Congress oletsa kugwiritsa ntchito ndalama zankhondo yaku US katatu konse dziko lankhondo kwambiri likhoza kukhala ndi chithandizo chodziwika bwino, koma Congress silingaziperekeze pakalibe kukakamizidwa kwambiri ndi anthu, chifukwa zingafune kudula kwakukulu kwa asitikali aku US omwe angayambitse mpikisano wothamanga.

Pomwe Yunivesite ya Maryland, zaka zapitazo, anthu adakhala pansi ndikuwawonetsa ndalama yaboma mu tchati (maphunziro ofunika kwambiri kuposa chiganizo chimodzi) zotsatira zake zidali zazikulu, pomwe ambiri amafuna kutulutsa ndalama yayikulu pantchito yankhondo. mu zosowa za anthu komanso zachilengedwe. Mwa zina zafotokozedwa, anthu aku US amatha kudula chithandizo chakunja kwa olamulira mwankhanza koma kuwonjezera ntchito zothandizira mayiko akunja.

Data for Progress idafunsanso funso ili: "United States pakalipano imawononga ndalama zoposa theka la bajeti yanzeru pazogwiritsa ntchito zida zankhondo, zomwe ndizowonjezereka kuposa momwe zimagwiritsira ntchito zida zina zakunja monga mapulogalamu aukadaulo ndi ntchito zachitukuko chachuma. Ena amati kukweza ukulu wankhondo waku US kuyenera kukhala cholinga chachikulu cha mfundo zakunja, ndipo tiyenera kupitiliza kugwiritsa ntchito ndalama momwe zilili. Ena amati m'malo mongothira ndalama kunkhondo tiyenera kugulitsa ndalama kuti tipewe nkhondo zisanachitike. Kodi mukugwirizana kapena kutsutsana ndi lingaliro loti tigwiritse ntchito ndalama zosachepera khumi pa zida zankhondo zosagwiritsa ntchito usirikali pa dola iliyonse yomwe timagwiritsa ntchito pa Pentagon? ”

Funsoli limapeza peresenti ya bajeti yoyenera ndipo imapereka njira ina yopitira patsogolo. Ndipo zomwe apezazi ndikuti anthu aku US amakonda kwambiri njira yomwe ikupita patsogolo: "Ambiri mwa anthu ovota amathandizira mfundo ya 'dollar for dollar', pomwe 57 peresenti inayake kapena akuchirikiza mwamphamvu komanso 21 peresenti yokha yotsutsana ndi ndalamazi. Izi zimaphatikizapo kuchuluka kwa ovotera ku Republican, 49 peresenti ya omwe amathandizira ndi 30 yokha mwa omwe amatsutsana ndi ndalamazi. Nthawi yopanga ndalamayi ndiyotchuka kwambiri pakati pa odziimira paokha komanso a Democrat. Peresenti + ya 28 yapamwamba ya Independent komanso net + 57% ya ma Democrats amathandizira ndalama zoyendetsera dollar. ”

Ndikulakalaka kuti Data for Progress adafunsa za zakunja zankhondo zakunja. Ndikuganiza kuti ambiri angakondweretse kutseka ena a iwo, ndipo maphunziro amenewo angakweze chiwerengerocho. Koma adafunsa pamitu ina yofunika. Mwachitsanzo, ochulukirapo (ndi ambiri pakati pa ma Democrat) akufuna kuletsa zida zaulere ku Israeli kuti zithetse machitidwe ake omenyera ufulu wa anthu motsutsana ndi Palestina. Ochuluka akufuna kuti asagwiritse ntchito zida za nyukiliya zosagwiritsa ntchito poyambira. Ambiri olimba akufuna thandizo lothandizira ku Latin America. Ambiri mwamphamvu akufuna kuletsa kuzunzidwa konse. (Tiyenera kunena "kuyimitsidwanso" ngati kuwazunza kwakhala koletsedwa kangati!) Mwachidziwikire, anthu aku US, ambiri, akufuna mgwirizano wamtendere ndi North Korea, koma gulu lomwe likufuna ambiri ndi ma Republican. Mwachidziwikire, mfundo yomalizayi imatiuza zambiri zokhudzana ndi magulu andale kuposa maganizidwe ankhondo ndi mtendere. Koma kusonkhanitsa kwa malingaliro omwe alembedwa apa akutiwuza kuti anthu aku US ndi abwino kwambiri pamalingaliro akunja kuposa momwe makampani azamabungwe aku US anganene, kapena kuposa momwe boma la US lingachitirepo kanthu.

Data for Progress idapezanso kuti zazikulu zazikulu zikufuna kuthetsa nkhondo zosatha za US ku Afghanistan komanso ku Middle East. Iwo omwe amathandizira kupitiliza nkhondoyi ndi gulu laling'ono, kuphatikiza atolankhani aku US, kuphatikiza US Congress, Purezidenti, ndi ankhondo. Ponseponse tikulankhula za 16% pagulu la US. Pakati pa ma Democrat ndi 7%. Onani kutengera komwe 7% ilandila kuchokera kwa atsogoleri ambiri omwe sananene kuti athetsa nkhondo zonsezi. Sindikudziwa kuti Purezidenti wa US mu mbiri yaka United States akupanga tchati kapena chithunzithunzi chazovuta kwambiri pa bajeti yosankha bwino. Yesani kulemba pamndandanda wa omwe akufuna kukhala purezidenti wa US kuti athe kugwiritsa ntchito ndalama zankhondo. Kodi munthu angachite bwanji izi? Kodi zingatheke bwanji kuti wina aliyense afunsitse ngakhale lina la iwo funso? Mwina izi zitha kuthandiza.

Bernie adalemba izi Loweruka ku Queens, ndipo khamulo lidayamba kunena kuti, "Menyani nkhondo!" Mwinanso ena mwa omwe ayambitsidwayo ayamba kufotokoza izi, angazindikire kuti chinsinsi cha anthu ndi chani pankhaniyi.

Data for Progress idapezanso anthu ambiri motsutsana ndi kulola kugulitsa zida za US ku maboma omwe amagwiritsa ntchito ufulu waumunthu. Maganizo a anthu onse ndi omveka bwino. Boma lonse la US kukana kuchitanso chimodzimodzi. Chosamveka bwino ndi lingaliro la boma lomwe limagula zida zakupha ndikugwiritsa ntchito chinthu china kupatula kugwiritsa ntchito ufulu waumunthu - palibe amene amafotokoza zomwe zingatanthauze.

Data for Progress imanena za mafunso ena atatu omwe anafunsa. Mmodzi amatsutsa kudzipatula kuti achite chibwenzi, koma sanatiuze mawu omwe adagwiritsa ntchito. Amangofotokoza mtundu wa funso lomwe lidali. Sindikudziwa kuti chifukwa chiyani polosera aliyense, akudziwa kuchuluka kwa zomwe mawuwo anganene, anganene zinthu mwanjira imeneyi, makamaka makamaka ngati zotsatirapo zake zinali zopatukana.

Limodzi linali funso lokhudza kupatula kwa US, komwe - sanatinso kuti. Tikudziwa kuti 53% idagwirizana ndi "mawu omwe azindikira kuti US ili ndi mphamvu ndi zofooka ngati dziko lina lililonse ndipo yabweretsa mavuto padzikoli" motsutsana ndi zonena zowona. Tikudziwanso kuti 53% yatsikira ku 23% pakati pa Republican.

Pomaliza, Data for Progress idapeza kuti kuchuluka ku US kunati United States imakumana ndi ziwopsezo zosakhala zankhondo. Zinthu zina zimakhala zowonekeratu zowawa kwambiri kotero kuti zimapweteka kuzindikira kuti amafunikiradi kuwongoleredwa pachiyembekezo choti adzafotokozere. Tsopano, ndi angati anganene kuti nkhondo zokhazokha ndizowopsa komanso zomwe zimayambitsa chiwopsezo chankhondo komanso za chiopsezo cha apocalypse anyukiliya? Ndipo kodi apocalypse nyukiliya amakhala kuti mndandanda wazowopseza? Pali kuponya voti zomwe zikuyenera kuchitika.
