Indlu yabameli iye yaphuma edolophini ukuya kukhumbula iimfazwe ngaphandle kokulawula ukufikelela kwisivumelwano kunye neNdlu yeeNgwevu malunga nokugunyazisa amanye amanyathelo okwexeshana "okwexeshana" oMthetho wePATRIOT. Zintathu iiholide zeholide yeCongressal!
Kuthekani ukuba ayisiyiyo inkululeko yethu kuphela kodwa uhlahlo-lwabiwo mali lufumene i-2001 kancinci?
Kwi-2001, inkcitho yemikhosi yase-US yayiyi- $ 397 yezigidigidi, ukusuka apho yaya kufikelela incopho ye- $ 720 yezigidigidi kwi2010, kwaye ngoku ikwi- $ 610 yezigidigidi kwi2015. La manani avela kwiStockholm International Peace Research Institute (kwi-2011 yeedola ezingapheliyo) akazibandakanyi ukuhlawulwa kwetyala, iindleko zamagqwetha, kunye nokuzikhusela, okunyusa inani elingaphezulu kwe- $ 1 trillion ngonyaka ngoku, abale ukubalwa kwemali kunye nokusetyenziswa kwendawo kwezomkhosi.
Inkcitho yezomkhosi ngoku yi-54% yemali ebisetyenziswa nguRhulumente ngokubhekisele kwiProjekthi kaZwelonke ePhambili. Yonke enye into-kunye nengxoxo-mpikiswano yonke apho iinkululeko zifuna inkcitho engaphezulu kwaye abongi bafuna okungaphantsi! - iqulethwe kwi-46% yohlahlo-lwabiwo mali.
Inkcitho yemikhosi yase-US, ngokwe-SIPRI, yi-35% yehlabathi liphela. I-US kunye neYurophu zenza i-56% yehlabathi. I-US kunye namahlakani ayo kwihlabathi jikelele (inemikhosi kumazwe e-175, kwaye amazwe amaninzi axhobile ngenxalenye enkulu ziinkampani zase-US) enza uninzi lwenkcitho yehlabathi.
I-Iran ichitha i-0.65% yenkcitho yomkhosi wehlabathi (ngo-2012, kunyaka ophelileyo okhoyo). Inkcitho yase-China kwezomkhosi ibinyuka iminyaka kwaye inyukile ukusukela ngo-2008 kunye ne-US pivot eya e-Asiya, ukusuka kwi- $ 107 yezigidigidi ngo-2008 ukuya kuthi ga ngoku kwi-216 yezigidigidi. Kodwa ise-12% yenkcitho yehlabathi.
Ngomntu ngamnye e-US ngoku uchitha i- $ 1,891 idola yaseMelika ngoku umntu ngamnye e-United States, ngokuthelekiswa ne- $ 242 ngekota nganye kwilizwe liphela, okanye i- $ 165 nge-capita emhlabeni ngaphandle kwe-US, okanye i-155 yedola nganye e-China.
Inkcitho eyonyuswe kakhulu emkhosini yase-US ayenzanga i-US okanye nehlabathi likhuseleke. Kwasekuqaleni "kwemfazwe yokoyikisa" urhulumente wase-US wayeka ukunika ingxelo ngobunqolobi, njengoko babusanda. Isalathiso sobunqolobi kwiHlabathi liphela sibhala ukwanda okuzinzileyo kuhlaselo lwabanqolobi ukususela ngo-2001 ukuza kuthi ga ngoku. Uvoto lukaGallup kumazwe angama-65 ekupheleni konyaka wama-2013 lwafumanisa ukuba iMelika ithathwa njengesoyikiso esikhulu soxolo emhlabeni. I-Iraq iguqulwe yaba sisihogo, kufutshane neLibya, iAfghanistan, iYemen, iPakistan neSomalia. Amaqela abagrogrisi asandul 'ukukruquka avele ngokuphendula ngokuthe ngqo kubunqolobi base-US kunye nomonakalo oshiye ngasemva. Kwaye ukhuphiswano lwezixhobo luye lwashukunyiselwa ukuba luxhamle kuphela abathengisi beengalo.
Kodwa inkcitho iye yaba nezinye iziphumo. I-US inyukele kwiintlanga ezihlanu eziphezulu kwihlabathi ngenxa yokungafani kobutyebi. I 10th Elona lizwe lityebileyo emhlabeni ngomntu ngamnye alikhangeleki lisisityebi xa uqhuba ngalo. Kwaye kuya kufuneka uqhube, ngeemayile ezi-0 zikaloliwe wesantya esiphezulu ezakhiwe; kodwa amapolisa aseMelika anezikhali zemfazwe ngoku. Kwaye kufuneka ulumke xa uqhuba. Umbutho waseMelika weeNjineli zoLuntu unika iziseko zophuhliso zase-US i-D +. Iindawo zeedolophu ezinjengeDetroit ziye zaba yinkangala. Iindawo zokuhlala zingenamanzi okanye zinetyhefu ngongcoliseko lokusingqongileyo- amaxesha amaninzi zivela kwimikhosi yasemkhosini. I-US ngoku ikwinqanaba 35th kwinkululeko yokuzikhethela into oza kuyenza ngobomi bakho, 36th kwiminyaka yobomi 47th ukunqanda ukusweleka kwabantwana, 57th emsebenzini, nakwiindlela in imfundo by ezahlukeneyo amanyathelo.
Ukuba inkcitho yemikhosi yase-US ibuyiselwe kumanqanaba e-2001, ukugcinwa kwe- $ 213 yezigidigidi ngonyaka kunokuhlangabezana nezi mfuno zilandelayo:
Ukuphelisa indlala kunye nendlala kwihlabathi liphela- $ 30 yezigidigidi ngonyaka.
Nika amanzi okusela acocekileyo kwihlabathi liphela- $ 11 yezigidigidi ngonyaka.
Nika ikholeji yasimahla eMelika- $ 70 yezigidigidi ngonyaka (ngokomthetho weSenate).
Uncedo oluphindwe kabini lwangaphandle e-US- $ 23 yezigidigidi ngonyaka.
Yakha kwaye ugcine isantya esiphezulu senkqubo kaloliwe e-US- $ 30 yezigidigidi ngonyaka.
Tyala imali kumandla elanga kunye ahlaziyekayo kunanini na ngaphambili- $ 20 yezigidigidi ngonyaka.
Inkxaso mali kumalinge oxolo kunanini na ngaphambili- $ 10 yezigidigidi ngonyaka.
Oko kungashiya i $ 19 yezigidigidi eseleyo ngaphezulu konyaka ukuze uhlawule amatyala.
Ungathi ndiyaphupha, kodwa obu bubomi nokufa. Imfazwe ibulala ngaphezulu ngendlela engasetyenziswanga ngayo imali kunendlela esetyenziswa ngayo.
I mpendulo
Enkosi ngokucacisa kwakhona, David. Ndiyazibuza ukuba ngowuphi umahluko onokuwenza ukuba ngaphezulu, okanye uninzi lwabemi base-US bayazazi ezi zinto zisisiseko malunga nokufumana inzuzo kwezomkhosi-ndiyakholelwa ukuba kungawenza umahluko. Sineenkokeli ezibizwa ngokuba ziinkokheli zoluvo, iintlobo zeendaba, iintloko ezithethayo, ukubulela ukungazi okukhoyo kurhwaphilizo olukhulu lokhuseleko kurhulumente wase-US kunye noqoqosho. Nditsho nabahlomli abenza umlo ngokuchasene nomgaqo-nkqubo wemfazwe wase-US zange benze kwanto malunga nokunyoluka nokwenza inzuzo okuqhuba yonke loo nto- ungaze uthi “Luqoqosho, sisidenge.”
Ngenye imini amahlwempu aseMelika aya kuyazi into yokuba baphangwa ziimfama zizityebi zomkhosi ezisebenzisa ezona zibali zibalulekileyo neziyingozi kwimbali ukukhuthaza uloyiko oluphantsi kwengubo yabo yokukhusela. Izinto ziya kuqala ukutshintsha ngoko….
