Bernie, Izilungiso, kunye nokuhambisa iMali

NguDavid Swanson, World BEYOND War, UJuni 14, 2020

USenator Bernie Sanders ugqibile ukwenza into abanye bethu ababecinga ukuba inike iphulo lakhe lokuba ngumongameli nyusa iminyaka emine edlulileyo, kwaye kwakhona kulo nyaka udlulileyo. Nguye cetywayo ukwazisa umthetho osusa isixa esikhulu semali ukusuka kwimfazwe ukuya kwiimfuno zabantu nezokusingqongileyo (okanye ubuncinci beemfuno zabantu; iinkcukacha azicacanga, kodwa ukuhambisa imali kuphuma kumfazwe is isidingo sendalo).

Kungcono ufike mva kunokuba ungezi! Masenze ukuba kwenzeke ngomboniso omkhulu wenkxaso yoluntu! Kwaye masiyenze inyathelo lokuqala!

Ngokobuchwephesha, emva koFebruwari, uBernie wangcwatywa Kwiphepha-lokwenyani malunga nendlela awayeya kuyihlawula ngayo yonke into awayefuna ukuyenza, isaphulelo seminyaka engama-81 ezigidi zeedola kwinkcitho yemikhosi. Ngelixa isindululo sakhe sangoku sincinci nakwi- $ 74 yezigidigidi, sisindululo ngqo sokuhambisa imali; awukngcwatywa kuxwebhu olude ufuna ukuhlawula utshintsho olwenziwe phantse ngokuhlawula irhafu; sele ikho i gu bungelwe ubuncinci yimithombo yeendaba eqhubela phambili; Inxibelelana ngokuqhuma okwangoku kweentshukumo ezingaqhelekanga, kwaye uSanders unayo tweeted oku:

Endaweni yokuchitha imali ezibhiliyoni ezingama-740 zeedola kwisigqibo sokuKhusela, masakhele kwakhona amakhaya asemakhaya atshabalaliswe yintlupheko kunye nokuvalelwa. Ndiza kufaka uhlengahlengiso lokusika i-DoD nge-10% kwaye ndibuyisele loo mali kwiidolophu needolophu esiziyekileyo saza sazishiya ixesha elide.

kwaye lo:

“Endaweni yokuchitha imali eninzi kwizixhobo zentshabalalo eyenzelwe ukubulala abantu abaninzi kangangoko, mhlawumbi — mhlawumbi — kufuneka sityalomali ekuphuculeni ubomi apha eUnited States of America. Yiloo nto ke ndilungiswa. ”

Esona sizathu sentsingiselo yolu lwando ngabakwaSanders phantse ngokuqinisekileyo kukuzabalaza okwangoku okunyanzelisa ukuba izibonelelo zoncedo zisuswe kumapolisa axhobileyo ziye kwiindleko ezifanelekileyo. Ukuphambukiswa okunabileyo kohlahlo-lwabiwo mali lwasekhaya lube ngamapolisa asemkhosini nakwiintolongo, kunjalo nje, kuchazwe amanani amaninzi, ubukhulu, kunye nokubandezeleka nokufa okubangelwe kukuphambuka kohlahlo-lwabiwo mali lwe-fedretionary kwimfazwe namalungiselelo emfazwe engaphezulu. Ikhosi apho izixhobo kunye nokuqeqeshwa komzabalazi kunye neengqondo ezininzi ezonakalisayo kunye namagqala agwenxa okhohlakeleyo kumapolisa endawo avela phi.

Isicelo sika-2021 sika-XNUMX sesabelomali siyahluka kancinci kwiminyaka edlulileyo. It kubandakanya Iipesenti ezingama-55 yenkcitho ekhethekayo kwimfazwe. Oko kushiya iipesenti ezingama-45 yeemali zeCongress kuvota kuyo yonke enye into: ukukhuselwa kwendalo, amandla, imfundo, ezothutho, iziko, izindlu, ezolimo, isayensi, ubhubhane wezifo, iipaki, uncedo lwangaphandle (olungenzi izixhobo), njl njl.

Izinto eziphambili ngokubaluleka korhulumente wase-US bezikungasebenzi kakuhle kunye nokuziphatha kunye noluntu isithuba semashumi eminyaka, kwaye behamba kwicala elingalunganga nkqu nokwazisa ngeengxaki esijongene nazo zingenile ngaphezulu. It kuya kubiza ngaphantsi kwe-3% yenkcitho yomkhosi wase-US, ngokwamanani e-UN, ukuphelisa indlala emhlabeni, kwaye malunga ne-1% ukubonelela umhlaba ngamanzi okusela acocekileyo. Ngaphantsi kwe-7% yenkcitho yezomkhosi iyakubuphelisa ubuhlwempu eMelika.

Esinye isizathu sokuba uSanders enze isindululo sakhe ngoku kungenzeka kukuba uSanders akasasebenzi ku-Mongameli. Andazi ukuba injalo, kodwa iyakulunga ubudlelwane obungathandekiyo ukuthula kudala baba nako kwezopolitiko nakumajelo osasazo.

Kwizinto ezininzi ezingaqhelekanga malunga nokuqhushumba okwenzeka ngoku ngokuchasene nobuhlanga kunye nokuphathwa gadalala kwamapolisa, mhlawumbi eyona nto ibalaseleyo ibe yimpendulo yeendaba eendaba. The New York Times iphepha lokuhlela kunye ne-Twitter bobabini babhengeze ngequbuliso ukuba kukho imida yokuba kufanele ukuba kubi kangakanani. Ngequbuliso yinto engamkelekanga ukuba ibango lokuba inkcubeko yokuthand 'izwe iyanqula. Imithombo yeendaba kunye nemibutho iwela kubo bonke ukuchaza ukuthembeka kwabo ekuchaseni ubuhlanga, ukuba akunjalo ekuchaseni ukubulawa kwamapolisa. Kwaye oorhulumente basekhaya noorhulumente bamazwe bathatha amanyathelo. Konke oku kwakha uxinzelelo kwiCongress ukwenza ubuncinci bezenzo ezithile kwindlela elungileyo.

Ngoku singafunda kwezona ntatheli zidibeneyo zobuntatheli malunga nezinto ezazibizwa ngokuba "ligosa elibandakanyekayo ekufeni" kodwa ngoku zibizwa ngokuba "kukubulala." Oku kuyamangalisa. Singqina amandla ahlala etyholwa ngokulwa, nelokuphambanisa kwamanyathelo okufuziselayo njengokususa imifanekiso eqingqiweyo, ekuthiwa ngamanyathelo okuqamba njengokubulala ngokubulala, kwaye kuthiwe ngamanyathelo anokubambelela ngakumbi njenga kukhupha amapolisa ezikolweni.

Kodwa, thelekisa oku kunye nempendulo esele siyibonile xa i-antiwar activism sele ikhulile. Naxa izitrato zazigcwele ngo-2002 ukuya ku-2003, amajelo osasazo akazange aqhubeke, akazange atshintshe indlela, angaze avumele amazwi e-antiwar agqithe kwiipesenti ezi-5 zeendwendwe zosasazo lweendaba, akazange asebenze amazwi alwa nemfazwe, kwaye akazange atshintshe ekubizeni imisebenzi ”ukubulala. Ingxaki enye kukuba oorhulumente beengingqi abavoti kwiimfazwe. Kwaye okwangoku, baphindaphinda bekwenzile nje oko. Ngaphambili, ngexesha, nangaphambi kokuba ubukho bonyanzeliso, oorhulumente baseMelika badlulile zigqibo ngokuchasene neemfazwe ezithile kwaye zifuna ukuba imali isuswe kumkhosi ukuya kwiimfuno zabantu. Imithombo yeendaba yecandelo ayikaze ifumane idata enye enokuthi inike. Kwaye abezopolitiko ababesazi ngcono babalekile kwisikhundla esithandwa kakhulu, kwaye ubude bude busoloko busaziwa.

As Politico umbiko Ngo-2016 eSanders, “Ngo-1995, wazisa umthetho wokuphelisa inkqubo yezixhobo zenyukliya zaseMelika. Malunga nowama-2002, wayexhasa ipesenti ezingama-50 yePentagon. ” Yintoni etshintshileyo? Ukuhambisa imali kwimfazwe kuphela kwathandwa kakhulu. Imali kwimikhosi yezomkhosi yonyuswe kuphela ngaphezulu. Kodwa uBernie waba ngumongameli.

Ngo-2018, uninzi lwethu lwasayina ileta evulekileyo kuBernie Sanders emcela ukuba enze ngcono. Abanye bethu badibana nabanye babasebenzi bakhe abaphambili. Babanga ukuba bayavuma. Bathe ukuba bangcono. Kwaye ngenqanaba elithile ngokuqinisekileyo benzile. U-Bernie ngokuthe ngqo wabandakanya iMfazwe yaMashishini yaseMkhosini kuluhlu lweethagethi. Wayeka ukuthetha kakhulu malunga nemfazwe njengenkonzo yoluntu. Ngamanye amaxesha wayethetha ngokuhambisa imali yethu yezixhobo, nangona ngamanye amaxesha echaza ukuba ingxaki ibisenzeka kwamanye amazwe, ngaphandle kwezihloko zaseMelika zokusebenzisa imali ephezulu kunye nomthengisi ophezulu kwizixhobo. Kodwa akazange akhuphe a isindululo sohlahlo-lwabiwo mali. (Ndide ndade ndafumanisa ukuba, akekho umongameli wase-US waluphi na uhlobo owakhe wakwenza. [Nceda, bantu, ungagcini ngokubanga ukuba oko akunakwenzeka ngaphandle kokuvelisa umzekelo omnye.]) Kwaye akazange enze ukuphela kwemfazwe okanye ukushukuma. imali ekugxilwe kuyo kwiphulo lakhe.

Ngoku i-Sanders ayisasebenzi. Kwityala labo, abanye basasebenza nzima ukumfumanela iivoti ezingakumbi (nokuba uyafuna okanye akafuni) ngethemba lokuphembelela iDemocratic Party (kwaye mhlawumbi nokuqinisekisa ukuba uSanders ngoyena mntu utyunjiweyo xa oko kungafuneka kwenzeke uloliwe weBiten njalo. Kodwa uSanders ngokwakhe ugxile kubanga ukuba iBiden ivulekile ekushukumeni ngasekhohlo, nkqu njengeBiten iphakamisa ukwandisa inkxaso mali yamapolisa kunye hlaziywa iqabane lakhe Iraq-ixesha imfazwe abaphuli-mthetho.

Lo mzuzu wokungasebenzi uya kuba yeyona nto ilungileyo yokugxothwa kokunyaniseka, kunye nenqanaba lenkxaso yoluntu kuyo apho abapolitiki bengazange babonakale ngathi bayakholelwa. Ukuba sifuna izinto ezintle endaweni yokubulawa ngabantu abaninzi, kuya kufuneka sisebenzise eli thuba ukubonisa ukuba sithetha inyani, kwaye asikhathali nokuba ngubani owenza oko okanye yintoni na okanye angazisebenzisi. Sifuna uMtt Romney ajikeleze uMtshato waBantu abaNtsundu hayi ngenxa yokuba siceba ukubeka i-Mitt Romney Statue, hayi kuba sivumelana noMtt Romney kwenye into enye, hayi kuba ibhalansi yobomi bukaMtt Romney ibonakala ngathi ayikho enye into engeyiyo intlekele. , hayi kuba sicinga ukuba "uthetha oko entliziyweni yakhe," kodwa ngenxa yokuba sifuna ukuba nobomi babantsundu. Sikwafuna ukuba imali isuswe kwimfazwe iye kwizinto eziphucukileyo, akunamsebenzi nokuba ngubani na oyinxalenye yenkqubo (nokuba siyathanda, siyayithanda, siyayidelela, okanye siziva nangayiphi na indlela ngoBernie Sanders), kuba:

• Imfazwe iyingozi.
• Imfazwe iyingozi.
• Imfazwe isongela imeko yethu.
• Imfazwe ilahlekisa inkululeko yethu.
• Imfazwe iyasisindisa.
• Imfazwe ikhuthaza ukuxhaswa. Kwaye:
• Sidinga i $ 2 trillion / ngonyaka kwezinye izinto.

Kwinyanga ephelileyo, angama-29 aMalungu eCongress cetywayo Ukususa imali kwimfazwe ukuya kwiimfuno zabantu. Singongeza kule nombolo ukuba sonke siyakwazi ukuva amazwi ethu. Kwaye kwanelo nani linokubakho ukuba lalinokuma ngokugqibeleleyo xa kufikwa ekuvoteni kwinkundla enkulu yomkhosi (National Defense Authorization Act ka-2021).

Ngoku ka Iindoda eziqhelekileyo:

I-United States kulindeleke ukuba ichithe imali esondele kwi-660 yezigidi zeedola kwi iinkqubo zokuzikhusela ezingakhuseli Kunyaka-mali ka-2021-malunga neebhiliyoni ezingama-80 zeedola ezingaphantsi kwebhajethi yezokhuselo ephakanyiswe yi-Senate NDAA. Ukuba ulungiso lukaSanders longezwa kulo mthetho, i-US iya kuchitha imali eninzi kwiinkqubo zokungazikhuseli-ezibandakanya imfundo, okusingqongileyo, izindlu, ukhathalelo lwempilo, kunye nezinye iindawo-kunendlela yokuzikhusela. ”

Ewe, ubugqwetha abunanto yakwenza "nokuzikhusela" ngaphandle kwetyala njengokungenangqondo nokonakalisa njengombono wokubeka amapolisa kwizikolo zabantwana, kunye nengqondo epheleleyo kunye nohlahlo-lwabiwo mali lomkhosi lwase-US ingaphezulu kwe- $ 1.25 yeetriliyoni ngonyaka. Ewe, intetho kaSanders "apha eUnited States" (jonga i-tweet yakhe apha ngasentla) isabonakala ukuba iyangqina ukuba imfazwe iyinkonzo yoluntu kumaxhoba ayo akude, kwaye ngokuqinisekileyo bayalikhumbula ubungakanani lohlahlo-lwabiwo mali lomkhosi, esingaba nobunzima ekuchitheni ixesha kuwo wonke umhlaba ukuba sithathe indawo enkulu ngokwaneleyo. Akukho mfuneko yokuba sidlale kwihambo yomntu endala yokuba enye imfazwe “kukuzimela wedwa.” Nakuphi na ukuncitshiswa okukhulu kwinkcitho yomkhosi kufuneka kuvumele izibonelelo ezibalulekileyo kubantu ngaphakathi e-US nangaphandle.

I-US okwangoku iingalo noololiwe kunye nemali Oozwilakhe abanoburharha kwilizwe jikelele I-US okwangoku kugcina iziseko zomkhosi emhlabeni jikelele. I-US iyakha kwaye igcina inani elikhulu lezixhobo zenyukliya zentshabalalo enkulu. Ezi kunye nemigaqo-nkqubo emininzi efanayo ayikho kwicandelo elinye noncedo loluntu, okanye idiploma. Kwaye oku yokugqibela akunakubiza imali eninzi ukunyusa kakhulu.

UChristian Sorensen ubhala ngaphakathi Ukuqonda iMveliso yeMfazwe, "I-US Census Bureau ibonisa ukuba i-5.7 yezigidi yosapho oluhlwempuzekileyo olunabantwana luya kufuna, nge-avareji, i-11,400 yeedola ukuze baphile ngaphezulu komgca wentlupheko (ukusukela ngo-2016). Imali iyonke efunekayo. . . ibiza kubalelwa kwizigidi ezingama-69.4 bhiliyoni ngonyaka. Kutheni le nto ungabushenxisi ubuhlwempu eUnited States ngeedola ezingama-69.4 zezigidi zeedola kwaye uthathe enye imali ezibhiliyoni ezi-4.6 zeedola kulungiso lwakho lweedola ezingama-74 ezigidi kwaye unike imitya engenanto-eqhotyoshelweyo yoncedo loluntu kwilizwe lonke ngokubhekisele kubunzima bemfuno endaweni yeenjongo ezimbi zomkhosi.

Ewe ayinyani, njengoko uSenator uSanders engapheliyo mabangoI-United States lelona lizwe lityebileyo kwimbali yehlabathi. Ayisiyeyona esisityebi ngoku, ngokwetapita, eyindlela efanelekileyo kuzo zonke ii-tweets zeSenator kunye neeposti zikaFacebook. Nokuba lelona lityebileyo lilonke lixhomekeke kwindlela oyilinganisa ngayo, kodwa ayinanto yakwenza nokujongana nemfundo, intlupheko, njl njl .kufuneka sigqibe ukususa abezopolitiko kude nakwezona ntlobo zibalaseleyo zaseMelika. Kwaye kufuneka sibashukumisele ukuba babone ukuba ukukhupha imali ngaphandle kwemfazwe kubaluleke njengokuhambisa imali kwiiprojekthi ezilungileyo.

Nokuba ungalungisa yonke into ngokurhafisa isityebi kwaye ushiye inkcitho kwindawo yemfazwe, awunakuwunciphisa umngcipheko we-apocalypse yenyukliya ngaloo ndlela. Awungekhe unciphise iimfazwe, ucothe ukutshabalalisa kwezendalo kwezona ndawo zonakalise kakhulu indawo esihlala kuzo, sinciphise iimpembelelo kwinkululeko yoluntu nakwindlela yokuziphatha, okanye uyeke ukubulawa kwabantu ngogonyamelo ngaphandle kokususa imali kwimfazwe. Imali kufuneka ikhutshelwe ngaphandle, eyinzuzo njengecala kuvelisa imisebenzi, ukuba imali ifuduselwe kwinkcitho eyi-humane okanye ukunqunyulwa kwerhafu kubantu abasebenzayo. Inkqubo yokuguqula uqoqosho kufuneka iguqukele kwingqesho ephucukileyo kwabo babandakanyeka ekuboneleleni ngezixhobo koorhulumente kwihlabathi liphela. A inkqubo yokuguqulwa kwenkcubeko kufuneka kuthathe indawo yobuhlanga kunye nohlanga kunye nokuxhomekeka kubundlobongela kunye nokuxhomekeka kubulumko nobuntu.

Kwiminyaka emininzi ngoku, uMthetheleli we-DRM ovela kwiColonized Washington DC, u-Eleanor Holmes Norton, une yaziswa isisombululo sokuhambisa imali kwizixhobo zenyukliya ziye kwiiprojekthi ezifanelekileyo. Ngasihlandlo sithile, iibhilithi ezinje ngemfuno yokuba inyukele phezulu kwi-ajenda yethu. Kodwa uhlengahlengiso lweSanders luphambili lwangoku, kuba lunokuqhotyoshelwa kule nyanga kwityala elichaziweyo ukuba liyinxalenye kwaye lahlulwe laza lahlulwa-hlulwa kwiCongress yaseMelika ngokudlulileyo nangokuchanekileyo ngezinto ezinkulu rhoqo ngonyaka ukusukela okoko kusenzeka.

Sifuna eli nyathelo ngoku kwaye liyafumaneka. Phuma apho kwaye ufune oko!
