Ookhetshe bemfazwe be-GOP bagxeka inyathelo le-Biden "lokujongela phantsi" iinzame zePentagon zokuba ngamaxhoba abantu abancinci abasweleyo.
Ebudeni bonyaka okhohlakeleyo wokuqeshwa kwabantu emkhosini, ookhetshe abagcina imfazwe baxhalabile ngokuphandle ukuba isibhengezo sikaMongameli uJoe Biden kwiveki ephelileyo sokucinywa kwamatyala omfundi ovavanyiweyo ngexesha elinye kuya kuthoba amandla omkhosi wokubamba abantu abancinci baseMelika.
"Ukuxolelwa kwemali mboleko yomfundi kujongela phantsi esinye sezona zixhobo zibalaseleyo zomkhosi wethu ngexesha lokubhaliswa okuphantsi ngokuyingozi," uRep. Jim Banks (R-Ind.) ubhale kwi-tweet kungekudala emva kokubhengezwa.
Kwiminyaka emithandathu ukusukela oko iiBhanki ziqala ukubaleka kwiCongress, uthathe ngaphezulu kweedola ezingama-400,000 kwiikontraka zokhuselo, abavelisi bezixhobo, kunye nabanye abadlali abaphambili kwishishini lomkhosi. Iikomiti zentshukumo zopolitiko ezihlangeneyo zikaRaytheon, iBoeing, iLockheed Martin, iBAE Systems, iL3Harris Technologies, kunye neUltra Electronics nganye inikele ngamashumi amawaka eedola kwiiBhanki, ngokwedatha yeFEC. ihlalutywe yi-OpenSecrets. Ngoku uhlala kwiKomiti yeeNkonzo zeNdlu, eyongamela iSebe lezoKhuselo kunye nemikhosi yase-United States.
Amalungu ekomiti sele efunyenwe ngokudibeneyo ngaphezu kwe-3.4 yezigidi ukusuka kwiikontraka zokhuselo kunye nabavelisi bezixhobo kulo mjikelo wonyulo.
Ukwamkelwa kweebhanki kubalaselisa indlela ingxaki yamatyala omfundi eye yaxhatshazwa ngayo yimizi-mveliso yomkhosi. Ngokuthetha indawo ezolileyo ngokuvakalayo, iiBhanki ekugqibeleni zithetha inyani malunga nendlela abaqeshwa basemkhosini abawusebenzisa ngayo uMthetho oYilwayo we-GI-umthetho we-1944 owonga iphakheji yezibonelelo ezomeleleyo kumagqala- njengeyeza leendleko zemfundo ephakamileyo ukweyisela abantu abancinci ukuba babhalise. .
"Ukuba namalungu eNkongolo kuthetha ngokucacileyo ukuba impendulo kule nto yenyani yandisa ubunzima kulutsha oluhluphekayo kunye nolusebenzayo, eneneni, yeyona nto ilungileyo kubantu abancinci baseMelika ukuyibona, ” UMike Prysner, igqala elichasene nemfazwe kunye netshantliziyo, uxelele ILever. “Ingqina ukuba izizathu zabo zokungangeneleli zisemthethweni ngokupheleleyo. Kutheni uzivumela ukuba uhlafuneke kwaye utshicelwe kwinkonzo yenkqubo engakhathali kangako nempilo yakho? "
Biden's nyathelo iya kucima ukuya kuthi ga kwi-$10,000 yetyala lemali-mboleko yomfundi yomanyano kubantu abenza ngaphantsi kweedola ezili-125,000 ngonyaka, kunye ne-$10,000 eyongezelelweyo yababoleki abafumene iPell Grant ekholejini. Le nkqubo iqikelelwa ukuba iza kuphelisa malunga nama-300 eebhiliyoni zeerandi kwityala lilonke, icuthe amatyala abafundi angekahlawulwa kwilizwe liphela ukusuka kwi-1.7 yetriliyoni ukuya kwi-1.4 yetriliyoni.
Ngokutsho kweBhodi yeKholeji ngo-2021 Iintsingiselo kwiNgxelo yamaxabiso eKholeji, i-avareji yeendleko zezifundo zonyaka kunye neefizi kwiikholeji zikawonke-wonke zeminyaka emine inyuke ukusuka kwi-$ 4,160 ukuya kwi-$ 10,740 ukususela ekuqaleni kwee-1990 - ukunyuka kwe-158 ekhulwini. Kumaziko abucala, iindleko zomndilili zinyuke ngeepesenti ezingama-96.6 ngelo xesha linye, ukusuka kwi-19,360 yeedola ukuya kwi-38,070 yeedola.
Isicwangciso sokucinywa kwamatyala omfundi ka-Biden ubukhulu becala sasibhiyozelwa kwizangqa zenkululeko njengenyathelo eliya kwicala elifanelekileyo, nangona uninzi lwalatha ukuba uxolelo lwetyala kufuneka luqhubele phambili ukujongana nengxaki yelizwe lonke.
"Ukuba abantu abancinci baseMelika banokufikelela kwiKholeji yasimahla ... Ngaba baya kuvolontiya kwimikhosi exhobileyo?"
Umlawuli wezonxibelelwano zeBhanki, uBuckley Carlson (unyana womgcini weFox News uTucker Carlson), akaphendulanga kwisicelo sokuphefumla - kodwa amagqabantshintshi e-Congress abonisa isimo sengqondo esidumileyo phakathi koMkhosi wobhedu kunye nookhetshe abagcinayo.
Ngo-2019, uFrank Muth, umphathi jikelele ophetheyo ekuqeshweni koMkhosi, qhayiya ukuba imeko engxamisekileyo yetyala labafundi idlale indima ephambili kwisebe lakhe idlula injongo yokugaya abafundi ngaloo nyaka. “Enye yeengxaki zelizwe ngoku yimali-mboleko yabafundi, ngoko ke i-$31,000 [malunga] nomndilili,” utshilo uMut. “Unokuphuma [eMkhosini] emva kweminyaka emine, i-100 ekhulwini lihlawulela ikholeji karhulumente naphi na eUnited States.”
Cole Lyle, owayesakuba ngumcebisi kaSen. Richard Burr (RN.C.) kunye nomlawuli olawulayo weMission Roll Call, iqela lamagqala agqwesileyo, ubhale i-op-ed yeFox News ngoMeyi ubiza ukuxolelwa kwamatyala omfundi “kukuqhwaba ebusweni” kumagqala ngenxa yokuba amalungu enkonzo namagqala kwakucingelwa ukuba bafanelwe kukukhululwa ematyaleni kunomndilili oqhelekileyo.
Iqhekeza likaLyle kwabelwana ngako ngongasekhoyo u-Rep. Jackie Walorski (R-Ind.), naye owathi ukuxolelwa “kujongela phantsi ukufunwa kwabantu emkhosini.” Mollie Hemmingway, umhleli oyintloko we-conservative outlet Federalist, kunye neqela eliphambili le-oyile enkulu Abemi ngokuchasene neNkunkuma kaRhulumente, yabelana ngesiqwenga ngokunjalo.
Ngo-Epreli, uEric Leis, a owayesakuba nguMphathi weSebe kuMkhosi woQeqesho woQeqesho woQeqesho kwiiGreat Lakes, zakhala kwi Wall Street Journal ukuba ukuxolelwa kwamatyala - kwaye ngakumbi ukuthoba iindleko zemfundo ephakamileyo - kubangela umngcipheko kwikhono lomkhosi lokugaya.
“Xa ndandisebenza kwinkampu yoqeqesho yoMkhosi woMkhosi woMkhosi, uninzi lwabaqeshwa badweliswe ukuhlawulela ikholeji njengoyena mkhuthazi wabo wokujoyina uMkhosi waseLwandle. Ukuba abantu abancinci baseMelika banokufikelela kwikholeji yasimahla ngaphandle kokufumana iBhili yeGI okanye babhalisele ukulandela inkonzo yasemkhosini, ngaba baya kuvolontiya kwimikhosi exhobileyo ngamanani aneleyo? ” wabhala uLeis.
Ingxelo yakutshanje yeBhanki ngalo mba iphakanyisiwe Melele ukusabela ukusuka kumatsha-ntliziyo achasene nemfazwe kwi-Twitter - ubukhulu becala ngenxa yokuba yabhenca iindlela zokugaywa komkhosi kunye nokuxhaphaza abantu abasesichengeni abafuna uncedo lwezoqoqosho.
Ngokutsho kweRep. Banks, nasiphi na isiqabu ngokuphathelele imisebenzi, ukhathalelo lwempilo, ukunyanyekelwa kwabantwana, indawo yokuhlala, ukutya, kufanele kuchaswe ngesizinzi esinokuba yingozi ekubhaliseni abantu!” watsho uPrysner. Ngelixa ihlekwa, ityhila eyona nto iphambili yesicwangciso sePentagon: gxila ikakhulu kubantu abancinci abaziva betyhalwe kuluhlu ngenxa yobunzima bobomi baseMelika.
"Kuvakala ngathi sisiyeye kwaye utshintshe"
Ukugxekwa kweebhanki kuza ngexesha lonyaka onzima wokugaya emkhosini. Umkhosi ubona elona nani liphantsi labaqeshwa kulo nyaka-mali wangoku ukusukela ekupheleni koyilo ngo-1973, indawo yeendaba zomkhosi. I nkwenkwezi kunye ne zithintelo kwiveki ephelileyo.
Ngaphambili ngo-Agasti, wavuma uMkhosi ifumene isiqingatha senjongo yayo ngempumelelo kwaye ikulungele ukuphosa ithagethi yayo malunga nama-48 ekhulwini. Amanye amasebe omkhosi nawo aye asokola ukubetha iinjongo zabo zonyaka, kodwa ngokutsho Iinkwenkwezi kunye nemigca, la mandla kulindeleke ukuba afikelele kwinani lawo ekujoliswe kulo ekupheleni konyaka-mali kwinyanga ezayo.
Kodwa njengoko uPrysner esitsho, ezo nzame zokugaya azinanto yakwenza nekholeji ukuba lula ukuyifikelela.
“Ngokohlolisiso lwakutshanje [lweSebe lezoKhuselo] lolutsha, izizathu zalo eziphambili kukoyika amanxeba asemzimbeni nangokwengqondo, uloyiko lokuhlaselwa ngokwesini, nokungawuthandi okwandayo emkhosini,” watsho uPrysner.
Inkqubo yeSebe lezoKhuselo yeNtengiso eDityanelweyo, uPhando lweMarike kunye neZifundo (JAMRS) iqhuba uvoto ukujonga izimvo zabantu abancinci baseMelika ngomkhosi wase-United States.
I-poll yakutshanje, ekhutshwe ngaphambili ngo-Agasti, ifumene uninzi lwabaphenduli - i-65 ipesenti - ayiyi kujoyina umkhosi ngenxa yokulimala okanye ukufa, ngelixa i-63 ipesenti ichaza i-post-traumatic disorder disorder (PTSD) okanye enye imvakalelo okanye yengqondo. imiba.
Ngokwe-poll efanayo, esona sizathu siphezulu sokuba kutheni abantu abancinci baseMelika bajonge ukubhalisa yayikukunyusa intlawulo yekamva elinokubakho, ngelixa izibonelelo zemfundo, ezifana nezo zibonelelwa ngumthetho oyilwayo we-GI, yayisesona sizathu siqhelekileyo sokubhalisa.
Uluntu luye lwagxeka kakhulu emkhosini, ngenxa yokunqongophala kwesizathu sesizwe sokuhlangana ngasemva, kungabikho bukho besoyikiso esinzulu sangaphandle, kunye nokunganeliseki okukhulayo kwinkqubo yaseMelika. Okunye oko kugxeka kuphuma phakathi kwamaqela axhobileyo. Ngo-2020, ividiyo yamajoni oMkhosi asebenzayo evakalisa ukuphoxeka ngenxa yabaqeshwa bawo abaxokayo yanyusa iimbono zezigidi. Ikliphu ibonisa ukuba bangaphi abantu abancinci baseMelika abaxokiswa kubo ngethemba lokuba baya kuba ngamaxhoba kwimizi-mveliso yasemkhosini.
Ukwandisa amanani ayo, umkhosi une elide kwaye kakuhle Imbali ye ekujoliswe kuyo le lihlelelekile kwezoqoqosho kunye nokuhenda abantu abanokuba ngabasebenzi ngepakethe yeenzuzo ezomeleleyo. Ekuqaleni kwalo nyaka, uMkhosi wakhululwa iintengiso ezintsha ngokukodwa ukuba inkonzo inokugcwalisa imingxuma kumnatha wokhuseleko okrazukileyo welizwe. Amaqela amagqala achasene nemfazwe kunye nabanye abathetheleli boxolo balumkisa abantu abatsha ukuba balumkele amaqhinga okugaya abantu emkhosini, ngakumbi izibonelelo zawo zemfundo. Ngelixa uMthetho oYilwayo weGI unokubanakho ukugubungela uninzi lwemfundo yabaqeshwa, iinzuzo zayo aziqinisekiswanga.
“Nokuba kukho i-GI bill kunye noncedo lokufunda, uninzi lwamagqala agcina enamatyala omfundi, kwaye yiloo nto abangakuxeleli yona,” utshilo umhlalutyi wezopolitiko kunye negqala loMkhosi woMoya uBen Carollo. "Ndicinga ukuba iyathetha ngendlela ukugaya abantu emkhosini. Kuba eneneni kuthatha ubuxoki. ”
Ngaphandle kwemfundo, amagqala kusafuneka alwele izibonelelo ezininzi eziyimfuneko. Kutshanje, iSenate Republicans uthintele ityala oko kuya kuvumela amagqala omkhosi ukuba afumane unyango kwiSebe leMicimbi yamagqala kwimiba yezonyango - kubandakanya umhlaza - obangelwa yimigodi etshileyo phesheya kolwandle, ngaphambi kokuyixhasa ngokukrokra. emva koxinzelelo olukhulu loluntu.
UCarollo uthe wabuthenga ubuxoki xa wayebhalisa.
Yena, njengabanye abaninzi baseMelika, wabona umkhosi wase-US "njengabafana abalungileyo" abazise "inkululeko" kwihlabathi jikelele. Ekugqibeleni uye wabona ngephupha elikhethekileyo laseMelika kunye nesithembiso sobuxoki sezibonelelo ezilinde amagqala.
“Okubuhlungu kukuba kuye kwafuneka ukuba ndifunde ezi zifundo kabuhlungu kwaye ndaphuma ndikhubazekile kwaye ndingonwabanga nto leyo ebangela ukuba ndingakwazi ukusebenzisa isidanga endasifumanayo,” utshilo uCarollo. “Ekugqibeleni kuvakala ngathi sisiyeyelo kunye nokutshintsha. Umbono wokuba kufuneka sigcine abantu behlwempuzekile nje ukugcina obu buqhetseba buthetha ngendlela engendawo ngayo inkqubo yethu. ”
