Pakupedzisira 1980s, Soviet Union yakawana kuti yakaparadza hupfumi hwayo nekushandisa mari yakawandisa kuhondo. Munguva yekushanyira 1987 kuUnited States neMutungamiriri weMoscow Mikhail Gorbachev, Valentin Falin, mukuru weMoscow's Novosti Press Agency, akataura chimwe chinhu chakafumura dambudziko iri rezvematongerwe enyika uye richiratidzawo nguva yeP-911 iyo yaizova pachena kune dzose zvombo zvisingadhuri inogona kupinda mukati memwoyo weumambo huri kurwisana nemadhora emadhora ane zviuru zvitatu pagore. Akati:

"Hatisi kuzokanyora [United States] zvakare, tichiita mapurisa kuti tibatane nemapurisa ako, zvombo kuti uwane zvombo zvako. Tichatora nzira dzisinganzwisisiki nemitemo itsva yesayenzi inowanikwa kwatiri. Genetic engineering ingangodaro inofungidzira. Zvinhu zvinogona kuitwa izvo rutivi rumwe rutivi rusingakwanisi kuwana zvidziviriro kana kuti zvidzitiro, nemigumisiro ine ngozi. Kana iwe ukakurira chimwe chinhu munzvimbo, tinogona kukura chimwe chinhu pasi pano. Aya haasi mazwi chete. Ndinoziva zvandiri kutaura. "

Uye zvakadaro yakanga yakanyanyisa kuchema kweSoviet. Uye chinhu chisingazivikanwi ndechokuti munhu wose muWashington, DC, anonzwisisa izvo uye anotowedzera kuwedzeresa, achideredza zvimwe zvikonzero mukuparadzwa kweSoviet Union. Takavamanikidza kuti vavake zvombo zvizhinji kwazvo, uye izvozvo zvakavaparadza. Uku ndiko kunzwisiswa kwehurumende muhurumende iyo iri kuenderera mberi pakuvaka zvombo zvakawanda kwazvo, asi panguva imwechete iyo inoparadzanisa zviratidzo zvose zvekutsvaga kwekuuya.

Hondo, uye kugadzirira kwehondo, ndiyo yedu yakawanda uye yakaipisisa mari yemari. Zviri kudya kudya kwedu kubva mukati. Asi sezvo hupfumi hwenyika husiri hwehondo huchidonha, hupfumi huripo hunotenderera mberi nezvemauto ehondo hunoita hukuru. Isu tinofungidzira kuti mauto ndiyo imwe inopenya uye iyo yatinofanira kufunga pamusoro pekugadzirisa zvimwe zvinhu.

"Masoja eMadhorobha Anakidzwa neBhoom Booms," verenga USA Today musoro mukuru munaAugust 17, 2010. "Bhadhara uye Zvibatsiro Dhiyabhorosi Dzimba 'Kukura." Kunyange zvazvo kushandiswa kwepachena pane chimwe chinhu kunze kwekuuraya vanhu kazhinji kacho kunoshorwa sechishumosi, munyaya iyi tsanangudzo iyi haigone kushandiswa nokuti mari yaishandiswa yakaitwa nemauto. Saka izvi zvaiita sechinhu chekuvhara sirivha pasina kubata grey:

"Kukurumidza kukura kubhadhara uye kubatsirika mumauto akazvigadzirira zvasimudza maguta akawanda emasvingo mumatunhu evanhu vemunharaunda yakanyanya kwazvo, USA USA inoongorora inowanikwa.

"Guta reMarines 'Camp Lejeune - Jacksonville, NC - rakasimudzirwa kune imwe nyika ye32nd-yepamusoro-soro pamunhu wese mu2009 pakati pezvikwata zveguta re366 kuU.S., maererano nedare reBusiness of Economic Analysis (BEA). MuC2000, yaive yakarongedza 287th.

"IU.SA Nhasi kuongororwa kunowanikwa kuti 16 yemiganhu ye20 inomhanya zvakananga pane imwe nzvimbo yekuwana mari kubva muna 2000 ine zvigaro zvehondo kana imwe iri pedyo. . . .

Zvakanaka, saka vamwe vedu vangada kuti mari yebhadharo yakanaka uye zvigaro zvaizoenda muzvibereko zvekubereka, zvigaro, asi zvingave zvichienda kune imwe nzvimbo, zvakarurama? Zviri nani kupfuura chinhu, chakanaka?

Chaizvoizvo, chakaipa kudarika chinhu. Kusakwanisa kupedza mari iyoyo uye panzvimbo pekucheka mitero kungaita mamwe mabasa kunze kwekuzviisa muchiuto. Kuzviisa muzvigadzirwa zvemabhizimisi zvakadai sokufamba kwemauto kana dzidzo inenge iine simba guru uye inoita mamwe mabasa akawanda. Asi kunyange pasina, kunyange kutema mitero, hakuzoiti kukuvadza kudarika kushandiswa kwemauto.

Hungu, kukuvadza. Basa roga roga rechiuto, dhizimusi roga roga rezvombo basa, basa rose rekugadzirisa hondo, basa rose revarume kana kutambudzikira basa rakafanana nenhema sehondo chero ipi zvayo. Zvinoratidzika kuva basa, asi haisi basa. Iko kusavapo kwemabasa akawanda uye ari nani. Iko mari yepachena inoparara pane chimwe chinhu chakanyanya kukura kwezvisikwa zvebasa kupfuura chinhu zvachose uye chakaipisisa kupfuura zvimwe zvingawanikwa.

Robert Pollin naHeidi Garrett-Peltier, weSocial Economy Research Institute, vakaunganidza data. Bhiriyoni imwe neimwe yemadhora emari yehurumende inotengeswa muchiuto inogadzira mabasa e12,000. Kuzviisa panzvimbo yekutengesa mutero kunoshandiswa kwega pachako kunogadzira zvinenge zvakaitwa 15,000 mabasa. Asi kuzviisa muhutano hwehutano hunotipa 18,000 mabasa, mumusha weatherization uye zvivako zvekuvakawo 18,000 mabasa, muzvidzidzo 25,000 mabasa, uye mukufamba kwevanhu 27,700 mabasa. Mukudzidzira inowanikwa mubhadharo uye kubatsirwa kwebasa re 25,000 rakasikwa rakanyanya kukunda kupfuura iro remabasa ehondo 12,000. Mune dzimwe mimwe minda, inowanikwa mubhadharo uye zvigadziriswa zvakasikwa zvakaderera pane zvemauto (kunyanya kwenguva yakareba sokuti mari chete inofungidzirwa), asi huwandu hwehupfumi hwehupfumi hwakawanda nekuda kwehuwandu hwemabasa. Iro sarudzo yekucheka mutero hairevi netsika huru, asi inogadzira 3,000 mamwe mabasa nemadhora mabhiriyoni.

Iko kune kutenda kwakakurumbira kuti Hondo Yenyika II yekushandisa inopedza Kubwinya kukuru. Izvozvo zvinoratidzika kure kwazvo kubva pachena, uye economists hazvibvumirane nayo. Zvandinofunga kuti tinogona kutaura nechivimbo ndezvokuti, kutanga, kushandiswa kwemauto kweHondo Yenyika II pazvinhu zvishoma hazvina kudzivirira kupora kubva kuHuruku Hukuru, uye chechipiri, kuti maitiro akadaro ekupedza mune mamwe maindasitiri angangodaro akavandudzwa kuti kuporeswa.

Tinenge tine mamwe mabasa uye vaizobhadhara zvakawanda, uye isu taizova vakangwara uye vane rugare kana tikaisa mari mune dzidzo panzvimbo yehondo. Asi izvi zvinoratidza here kuti kushandiswa kwemauto kunoparadza hupfumi hwedu? Zvakanaka, funga chidzidzo ichi kubva mushure mehondo. Kana iwe wakange uine basa rakakwirira rekubhadhara chikoro panzvimbo yekubhadhara mari shoma kana kusina basa zvachose, vana vako vanogona kuva nedzidzo yepamusoro yepamusoro iyo basa rako nemamwe mabasa ako anoshanda. Kana isu tisina kudarika chikamu chemauto edu ekugadziriswa kwehurumende muhondo, tinogona kunge tine dzidzo yepamusoro yakasununguka kubva kuchikoro chesekondari. Tinogona kuva nezvinhu zvakasiyana-siyana zvekushandura hupenyu, kusanganisira kubhadhara mari, mazororo, nguva yevabereki, utano hwehutano, nekufambisa. Tingave takavimbisa basa. Iwe unenge uchiita mari yakawanda, kushanda maawa mashomanana, uye zvakanyanya kuderedzwa mari. Ndingava sei nechokwadi chokuti izvi zvinobvira? Nokuti ndinoziva chakavanzika chinowanzochengetwa kwatiri neveMedia media: kune mamwe marudzi panyika ino.

Steven Hill bhuku reEuropean Promise: Sei Europe Yenzira Ndicho Chivimbo Chakanakisisa Mumakore Asingaverengeki ine shoko ratinofanira kuwana rinokurudzira zvikuru. IEuropean Union (EU) ndiyo inonyanya kukosha uye inonyanya kugadzirisa hupfumi, uye vazhinji vevanogara mairi vakapfuma, vane hutano, uye vanofara kudarika vazhinji veAmerica. Vanhu vokuEurope vanoshanda maawa mashomanana, vane hurukuro inotaura kuti vashandirwi vavo vanoita sei, vanowana mazororo kwenguva yakareba uye vachibhadhara nguva yevabereki, vanogona kuvimba nemari yakabhadharwa pensions, vane rusununguko rusingabatsiri uye rusingabatsiri rwehutano hwekuchengetedza, vanofarira dzidzo dzisingabhadhari kana dzisingabatsiri kubva kuchikoro chekutanga koreji, inopa hafu chete yekunetseka kwezvinhu zvakasiyana-siyana kwemaAmerica, kutsungirira chikamu chechisimba chiripo muUnited States, kusunga chikamu chiduku chevasungwa vakavharwa pano, uye vanobatsirwa nehurumende yekutaridzirwa, kubatanidzwa, uye rusununguko rwevanhu rusingafungidzirwi mu nyika iyo yatinonyengerwa nayo kuti nyika inotivenga nokuda kwekusiyana kwe "rusununguko." Yuropi inotopa muenzaniso wekune dzimwe nyika, kuunza marudzi akavakidzana kune hurumende yekutonga kuburikidza nekuisa tariro yehutungamiri hweEU, apo isu tichidzinga dzimwe nyika kure nehutongi hwakanaka pamutengo mukuru weropa uye pfuma.

Zvechokwadi, izvi zvese zvaizova nhau dzakanaka, kana kwete nekuda kwekutyisa uye kunotyisa kwepamusoro pemitero! Kushanda zvishomanana nekurarama kwenguva yakareba nekurwara zvishoma, nzvimbo yakachena, dzidzo yepamusoro, mararamiro akawanda emitambo, mazororo ekubhadhara, uye hurumende dzinopindura zviri nani kuvanhu - kuti zvose zvinonzwika zvakanaka, asi chokwadi chinosanganisira kuipa kukuru kwemitero yakakwirira! Kana kuti?

Sezvo Gomo rinoratidza, vanhu veEurope vanobhadhara mitero yepamusoro, asi ivo vanowanzobhadhara hurumende, nzvimbo, nzvimbo, uye zvekuchengetedza mitero yevanhu. Vanobhadharawo mari yepamusoro yemitero kunze kwebhadharo rakakura. Uye ndeupi veEurope vanochengetedza mari yavanowana mari yavanenge vasingafaniri kupedza pahutano hwehutano kana kojiji kana kudzidziswa kwebasa kana zvimwe zvakawanda zvinodhura izvo zvisingambogoni kuita asi asi isu tinenge tichida kupemberera ropafadzo yedu yekubhadhara mumwe nomumwe.

Kana tikabhadhara zvakakwana sevaEurope mumitero, nei tichiwedzera kubhadhara zvose zvatinoda isu pachedu? Sei mitero yedu isingabhadhara zvatinoda? Chikonzero chikuru ndechekuti mari yakawanda yemutero wedu inoenda kuhondo uye mauto.

Tinowedzerawo kune avo vakapfuma kwazvo pakati pedu kuburikidza nekambani yemitambo yekusvitsa uye bhailouts. Uye mataramiro edu kune zvinodiwa nevanhu sehutano hwehutano zvinoshamisa zvisingabatsiri. Mugore rakapiwa, hurumende yedu inopa madhora $ 300 mabhiriyoni emitambo yepamitambo kune mabhizimisi nokuda kwehutano hwevashandi. Izvi zvakakwana kuti zvibhadharwe munhu wose munyika ino kuti ave nehutano hwakanaka, asi inongova chikamu chiduku chezvinhu zvatinoisa muhutano hwehutano hwehutano hunofanirwa, hunofanirwa nezita racho, huripo hukuru hwekuita purofiti. Zvakawanda zvatinoshatisa pahupenzi huno hazviperi kuburikidza nehurumende, chokwadi chatinozvikudza kwazvo.

Isu tinodadawo, zvisinei, zvekufuridzira masero makuru emari kuburikidza nehurumende uye kupinda mauto emabhizimisi. Uye iyo ndiyo misiyano yakanyanya pakati pedu neEurope. Asi izvi zvinoratidza kusiyana kwehurumende dzedu kupfuura pakati pevanhu vedu. MaAmerica, mumapurisa uye kuongororwa, angada kushandura mari yakawanda kubva kuhondo kusvika kuvanhu vanoda. Dambudziko nderekuti maonero edu haasi kumira muhurumende yedu, sezvo iyi anecdote kubva kuEurope Yakavimbisa inoti:

"Makore mashomanana adarika, mumwe wangu wekuAmerica anogara kuSweden akandiudza kuti iye nemudzimai wake weSweden vakanga vari muNew York City, uye, nenzira yakajeka, vakapedzisa kugovera chimineine kunharaunda yemitambo neSenator yekuAmerica John Breaux kubva kuLouisana nemudzimai wake. Breaux, akachengetedza, asingabhadharisi mutero weDemocrat, akakumbira kuti ndizive nezveSweden uye akashandura zvinyorwa pamusoro pe 'yose iyo mitero yeSweden inobhadhara,' iyo iyi American yakapindura, 'Dambudziko reAmerica nemitero yavo ndechokuti hatina kuwana chinhu kwavari. ' Akabva aenderera mberi kundoudza Breaux nezvehutano hwakakwana hwemashumiro uye zvibvumirano izvo vaSweden vanogamuchira mukudzorera mitero. 'Kana vaAmerica vaiziva kuti veSweden vanogamuchira sei mitero yavo, isu tingangodaro takashata,' akaudza seneta. Zvose zvekutasva kuenda kunharaunda yemitambo yakanga isina kunyarara. "

Iye zvino, kana iwe uchiona chikwereti chisina maturo uye usingatambudziki nokukwereta matairi emadhora emadhora, ipapo kuchera mauto ehurumende nekuwedzera kwezvirongwa zvirongwa zviviri zvakasiyana. Unogona kunyengetedzwa pane imwe asi kwete imwe. Zvisinei, nharo inoshandiswa muWashington, DC, pamusoro pekushandisa mari yakawanda pane zvido zvevanhu zvinowanzotarisa pamusoro pekushaikwa kwemari uye kudiwa kwebhajheji yakaenzana. Zvichipa hutano hwezvematongerwo enyika, kana iwe usati iwe unofanirwa kubhadhara bhajeti inobatsira pachako, hondo uye nyaya dzepamba dzisingatauriki. Mari iri kuuya kubva payo imwe, uye isu tinofanira kusarudza kana tichizoishandisa iko pano kana ipapo.

Muna 2010, Rethink Afghanistan yakagadzira chishandiso paFaceBook webhusaiti iyo yaikubvumidza kuti ushandisezve, sezvawaona zvakakodzera, madhirioni emadhora mumari yemutero iyo, panguva iyoyo, yakashandiswa muhondo dzeIraq neAfghanistan. Ini ndakadzvanya kuwedzera zvinhu zvakasiyana ku "shopping cart" yangu uye ndokutarisa kuti ndione zvandakanga ndawana. Ini ndakakwanisa kuhaya mushandi wese muAfghanistan kwegore ku $ 12 bhiriyoni, kuvaka mamirioni matatu edzimba dzinodhura muUnited States kwemadhora mazana matatu nemakumi masere neshanu emadhora, kupa hutano kune miriyoni vemaAmerican emadhora 3 bhiriyoni uye kune miriyoni vana $ 387 bhiriyoni.

Kunyange zvakadaro mukati me $ 1 trillion muganhu, ndakakwanisawo kuhaya mamiriyoni emimhanzi / tekudzidzisa vadzidzisi kwegore kwe $ 58.5 mabhiriyoni, uye mamiriyoni evadzidzi vepepari chechikoro kwegore kwe $ 61.1 mabhiriyoni. Ndakaisawo vana vane mamiriyoni mumusoro wekutangira kwegore kwe $ 7.3 bhiriyoni. Ndakabva ndapa vadzidzi vane mamiriyoni e10 gore rimwe chete zvidzidzo zveyunivesiti ye $ 79 bhiriyoni. Pakupedzisira, ndakasarudza kupa 5 mamiriyoni zvekugara ane simba rekugadzirisa re $ 4.8 bhiriyoni. Ndine chokwadi chokuti ndaizopedza mari yangu yekushandisa, ndakaenda kumotokari yekutengesa, kuti ndipiwe zano:

"Iwe uchiri ne $ 384.5 mabhiriyoni kuti urege." Geez. Tichaitei nezvo?

Chiuru chemadhora madhiriyoni inoenda kune nzira yakareba apo iwe haufaniri kuuraya chero munhu. Uye zvakadaro madhora madhiriyoni aingova mari yakananga yevamwe hondo mbiri kusvika ipapo. Musi waSeptember 5, 2010, vezvehupfumi Joseph Stiglitz naLinda Bilmes vakashuma korona muWashington Post, kuvaka pamusoro pebhuku ravo rekare rine zita rakadaro, "Ichokwadi Chaicho chehondo yeIraq: $ 3 Trillion uye Beyond." Vanyori vakati kukosheswa kwe $ 3 trillion kweHondo Yese yeIraq, yakatanga kubudiswa mu2008, ingave yakaderera. Kuverenga kwavo kwese mari yehondo iyoyo yaisanganisira mari yekuongorora, kuporesa nekubhadhara varwi vakakomba, izvo zvakaitwa ne2010 zvakapfuura zvavakatarisira. Uye iyo ndiyo yaiva yakanyanya pane iyo:

"Makore maviri aripo, zvave zvakajeka kwatiri kuti kuenzanisa kwedu hakuna kutora izvo zvingave zvakakonzerwa nekukakavara kwezvinhu zvinotyisa: avo vari muboka re 'vanogona kunge vane nyuchi,' kana kuti chii chezvematongerwo enyika chinodhura mukana wekutora. Nokudaro, vazhinji vakashamisika nenzwi guru kana, kunze kwekuuya kweIraq, tinenge tichiri kuendeswa kuA Afghanistan. Uye izvi handizvo chete 'zvakadini kana' zvakakodzera kufungisisa. Tinogonawo kubvunza: Kana kwete yehondo muIraq, mutengo wemafuta ungakurumidza kukura here? Dai chikwereti chomutemo chakanga chakakwirira kwazvo? Idambudziko rezvemari rave rakanyanya kukura here?

"Mhinduro kumibvunzo mina yemibvunzo iyi zvichida kwete. Chidzidzo chepakati chezvoupfumi ndechekuti zviwanikwa - kusanganisira zvose mari uye kutarisirwa - hazvisi nyore. "

Chidzidzo icho hachina kupinda muCapitol Hill, uko Congress inowanzosarudza kubhadhara hondo apo ichizviti haina chakanaka.

Musi waJune 22, 2010, Imba Mukuru Mutungamiri Steny Hoyer vakataura muimba huru yega yega Union Union muWashington, DC uye vakatora mibvunzo. Akanga asina mhinduro dzemibvunzo yandakaisa kwaari.

Nyaya yeHoyer yaiva yekutora mari, uye akataura kuti zvaaida - izvo zvose zvakanga zvisina kuchena - zvingava zvakakodzera kuita "nokukurumidza apo hupfumi huchadzorerwa zvachose." Handizivi kuti izvi zvaitarisirwa.

Hoyer, sezvakangoita tsika, kuzvikudza pamusoro pekucheka uye kuedza kuderedza zvombo zvehurumende. Saka ndakamubvunza kuti angadai asina kurega kutaura nezvemashoko maviri akafanana. Chokutanga, iye nevamwe vake vakanga vari kuwedzera bhajheti yezvehondo gore negore. Chechipiri, akanga achishanda kubhadhara kuwedzera kwehondo muAfghanistan ne "kubhadhara" mushumo waive wakachengetedza mari kubva pamabhuku, kunze kwemari.

Hoyer akapindura kuti nyaya dzose dzakadaro dzinofanira kunge dziri "patafura." Asi haana kutsanangura kukanganisa kwake kuaisa ipapo kana kuratidza kuti aizoita sei kwavari. Hapana chimwe chesangano rakaitwa Washington rakafa (sic) rakatevera.

Vamwe vanhu vaviri vakabvunza mibvunzo yakanaka pamusoro pokuti sei munyika ino Hoyer inoda kuenda shure Social Security kana Medicare. Mumwe mukomana akabvunza kuti nei tisingakwanisi kutevera Wall Street pane. Hoyer mumbled pamusoro pokupedza kuchinja kwekutonga, uye akatonga Bush.

Hoyer akadzokororwa zvakare kuMutungamiri Obama. Kutaura zvazviri, akataura kuti kana mutungamiri wekommiti pane kukanganisa (komisheni inoratidzika yakagadzirirwa kuronga kuderedza Social Security, komisheni inowanzozivikanwa se "catfood commission" yezvingaita kuti vanhu vakura vati vadye kudya kwemanheru) yakabudiswa chero sarudzo, uye kana Senate ikavapa, ipapo iye neimba yekutaura Nancy Pelosi vaizoisa pasi pasi kuti vhoti-pasinei nokuti chii chavaigona kuva.

Ichokwadi, nguva pfupi mushure mechiitiko ichi, Imba yakapfuudza mutemo unoisa munzvimbo inotarisirwa kuti ivhote pane imwe nzira yekutengeswa kwekambani yakapfuudzwa neSeneate.

Gare gare Hoyer akatiudza kuti mutungamiri chete ndiye anogona kurega kushandisa. Ndakataura ndokumubvunza kuti "Kana iwe usingapfuuri, Mutungamiri anoratidza sei?" Vakuru Vatungamiri vakatarisa shure kwandiri semhashu mumakona. Haana kutaura chinhu.
