Phakathi kweCoronavirus, lixesha lokuba uphilise i-US yaseKhaya kunye neLizwe jikelele

Kumaxesha wentlekele, njengobhubhani weconavirus okhulayo, apho ukungalingani okunzulu kwezakhiwo kunye nokusetyenziswa gwenxa kwemali yase-US kutyhilwa ngokucacileyo. Isiqingatha sabo bonke abantu baseMelika bahlala i-paycheck kwi-paycheck. Isiqingatha sesigidi samaMelika silala ngaphandle ezitratweni. Amashumi amathathu ezigidi abantu baseMelika abanayo i-inshurensi yezempilo. Amashumi amane anesihlanu ezigidi anzima nge- $ 1.6 yeedola yemali mboleko yomfundi. Ndingade ndiqhubeke, kodwa inqaku lalezi zibalo kukuqaqambisa ubungqangi boluntu lwethu kunye nesakhono salo sokungaqiniseki kwimozulu yempilo yoluntu kunye neempembelelo zezoqoqosho ezinje nge coronavirus.

Nangona kunjalo, i-US kuthiwa lelona lizwe lityebileyo kwimbali yehlabathi, nohlahlo-lwabiwo mali lomkhosi lilingana nelawo onke amanye amazwe aManyeneyo. Ukongeza uhlahlo-lwabiwo mali lwePentagon, kunye neenkcitho ezingezozamandla zePentagon emkhosini (umzekelo, izixhobo zenyukli, ezihlawulelwayo ngaphandle kweSebe lezaMandla), uhlahlo-lwabiwo mali lwemfazwe lwaseMelika. Igqitha kwi-1 yeetriliyoni ngonyaka. Xa uthelekisa, uhlahlo-lwabiwo mali lweZiko loLawulo lweSifo (CDC) yimali nje ezigidi ezili-11 zeedola. Kwaye qaphela oku: Usebenzisa uqikelelo kwiZizwe eziManyeneyo malunga noko kuya kuthatha ukuphelisa indlala yehlabathi, 3% yokuchitha imali emkhosini e-US kungaphelisa indlala eMhlabeni.

Isiphoso kukuba, xa abantu, ngakumbi abona bantu besesichengeni phakathi kwethu, beza kudibana ukuze baququzelele ukuphuculwa kwezinto zethu kubomi bethu kunye nokhuselo lwendalo esingqongileyo, indlela abaphendula ngayo ngokwamajelo eendaba naseburhulumenteni yile: “Uzohamba njani Ndibhatale? " Singathi ngandlel 'ithile sipompe izigidigidi zerhafu kubahlawulisi zerhafu kwiimfazwe ezingapheliyo kunye neeheyile ezitshintshiwe eWall Street, kodwa singenamali yokufunda ikholeji yasimahla, iMedicare yabo Bonke, amanzi angenasimahla, okanye naliphi na amanye amanyathelo angenakubalwa. namanye amazwe kwihlabathi liphela. Ukuphelelwa kwezi zinto zibalulekileyo kubantu bethu, kuya kuba nzima ukuginya ingxabano yokuba inkcitho yemikhosi yase-US kwimfazwe ekude iya kuba luncedo kubantu baseMelika.

Idemokrasi yethu eyaphukileyo, ebambe umdla okhethekileyo ngaphezu kweemfuno zabantu bayo, ikwakhamisa umbono ophindaphindiweyo wokuba iimfazwe zase-US zinceda ukusasaza idemokhrasi phesheya. Kude kube i-US ikwazi ukumisela ukuba injani na idemokhrasi esebenzayo, kufuneka iyeke ukuxelela amanye amazwe ukuba enze ntoni.

Inkolelo yokuba imali yethu eyi- $ 1 yezigidi zeedola kunyaka wemali isetyenziselwa imigudu yabantu kunye ne-pro-democracy rights efihla into elula yokuba imfazwe ayizuzi kuxhamlo layo. Ngexesha loMlo wase-Iraq, ukuvota kwafumanisa ukuba uninzi lwabantu base-US bakholelwa ukuba yi-Iraq bhetele kune ngenxa yemfazwe. Uninzi lwama-Iraqis, ngokuchaseneyo, bakholelwa ukuba babekho kubi kakhulu. Ngapha koko, abaphengululi bobabini eCarnegie Endowment yoXolo kunye neRAND Corporation bafumanise ukuba iimfazwe ezijolise ekwakhiweni kwesizwe zinelona zinga liphezulu kakhulu lokuphumelela okukhoyo kulawulo lwentando yesininzi. Kwaye akufuneki siwujongele umgca ongezantsi wokuba imfazwe ayisiyokomntu, kuba iyabulala abantu. Uninzi lwamaxhoba kwidabi langoku abahlali. Kwaye, ngokuchaseneyo, Ukuzibulala ngumbulali okhokelayo wemikhosi yase-US, ethoba umngcipheko owonakalisayo wokuthatha inxaxheba emfazweni. Okwangoku, imfazwe iyazakha ngokwakha iintshaba ezintsha kunye nomsindo wokuzala. Uvoto lukaGallup lowama-2013 kumazwe angama-65 afumanisa ukuba i-United States ithathelwa ingqalelo enkulu ingozi yokuthula emhlabeni, ukujongela phantsi intiyo kunye nokubuyisa okubangelwa yimfazwe yase-US.

Ngeli xesha leengxaki zelizwe jikelele njengoko sisilwa nesibetho se-coronavirus esikhula ngokukhawuleza, lixesha lokuba sakhe imanyano zomhlaba wonke ukuze sidibanise izixhobo ezibalulekileyo zenzululwazi nezonyango. I-US ingaqala ukuphilisa udumo lwayo lwasekhaya kunye nolwamazwe aphesheya ngokuthumela amawaka ezigidi ezivela kuhlahlo-lwabiwo mali lwemfazwe ukuya kwiimfuno zoluntu.
