Ngaba akunakwenzeka ukuba i-intanethi yenkcitho enkulu kawonkewonke ye-Amerika ehleliweyo kwiiminyaka ezizayo ayizange ithathelwe ingqalelo kwiingxoxo zongameli zika-2015-2016?
Inkcitho yenzelwe inkqubo yeminyaka engama-30 "yokuphucula izixhobo zenyukliya zaseMelika kunye nezixhobo zemveliso. Nangona uMongameli u-Obama waluqala ulawulo lwakhe ngokuzibophelela kukawonke-wonke kulwakhiwo lwehlabathi elingenazixhobo, oko kuzibophelela kudala kwehlile kwaye kwasweleka. Kuthathelwe indawo sisicwangciso solawulo sokwakha isizukulwana esitsha sezixhobo zenyukliya zase-US kunye nezixhobo zemveliso yenyukliya ukuze luhlale uhlanga luye kwisiqingatha sesibini senkulungwane yamashumi amabini ananye. Esi sicwangciso, esingakhange sifumane ngqalelo kumajelo eendaba, sibandakanya iimfazwe zenyukliya eziyilwe ngokutsha, kunye neziqhushumbisi ezitsha zenyukliya, iinkwili, imijukujelwa esekwe emhlabeni, iilebhu zezixhobo kunye nemveliso yezityalo. Iindleko eziqikelelweyo? $ 1,000,000,000,000.00 — okanye, kwaba bafundi bangaqhelananga namanani aphakamileyo, $ 1 trillion.
Abagxeki bahlawulisa ukuba inkcitho yesi sixa sigqibeleleyo iya kulonakalisa ilizwe okanye, ubuncinci, ifuna ukuncitshiswa okukhulu kwenkxaso-mali kwezinye iinkqubo zikarhulumente. “Si. . . ndizibuza ukuba siza kuyibhatala njani le mali, ”uvumile uBrian McKeon, unobhala wezomkhosi. Kwaye “mhlawumbi sibulela iinkwenkwezi zethu ukuba asizubakho apha kunyanzelekile siphendule umbuzo,” wongeze watsho ngokuhleka.
Ewe, esi sicwangciso "sokwenziwa kwezinto zangoku" sinyhasha imigaqo yeSivumelwano seNyukliya sokungasasazeki, esifuna ukuba amandla enyukliya abandakanyeke kwizixhobo zenyukliya. Isicwangciso siqhubela phambili nangona urhulumente wase-US sele ephethe izixhobo zenyukliya ezingama-1968 ezinokuthi zilitshabalalise ngokulula ihlabathi. Nangona utshintsho lwemozulu lunokuphela lufezekisa into enye, imfazwe yenyukliya inethuba lokuphelisa ubomi emhlabeni ngokukhawuleza.
Le trillion yeedola yezixhobo zenyukliya ayakhiwanga nayiphi na imibuzo malunga neemodareyitha ngexesha leengxoxo ezininzi zikamongameli. Nangona kunjalo, ngexesha lephulo, abagqatswa baka-Mongameli baqalisile ukuveza isimo sabo sengqondo ngalo.
Kwicala leRiphabhlikhi, abagqatswa-ngaphandle kokuzibanga bengayithandi inkcitho yomdibaniso kunye "norhulumente omkhulu" -babe ngabaxhasi abanomdla beli qhinga likhulu kugqatso lwezixhobo zenyukliya. UDonald Trump, umhambisi phambili, waphikisana kwintetho yakhe kamongameli ukuba "izixhobo zethu zenyukliya azisebenzi," egxininisa ukuba iphelelwe lixesha. Nangona engakhange athethe nge-1 trillion yexabiso lethegi “yala maxesha,” inkqubo ngokucacileyo iyinto ayithandayo, ngakumbi xa ejonge iphulo lakhe ekwakheni umatshini wezomkhosi wase-US “omkhulu kakhulu, onamandla, kwaye omelele kangangokuba kungabikho mntu uzokuphazamisa nathi . ”
Iintshaba zakhe zeRiphabhlikhi zamkele indlela efanayo. UMarco Rubio, ebuzwa ngelixa ebekhankasela e-Iowa malunga nokuba uyaluxhasa kusini na utriliyoni lwezigidi zeedola zotyalo-mali kwizixhobo zenyukliya ezintsha, uphendule wathi “kufuneka sibenazo. Alikho ilizwe ehlabathini elijamelene nezisongelo ajongene nazo iMelika. ” Xa umlweli woxolo wabuza uTed Cruz kwelo phulo malunga nokuba uyavumelana na noRonald Reagan ngemfuneko yokuphelisa izixhobo zenyukliya, le ndlu yeeNgwevu yaseTexas yaphendula yathi: “Ndicinga ukuba sisekude kuloo ndawo kwaye, okwangoku, kufuneka sikulungele ukuzikhusela. Eyona ndlela yokuthintela imfazwe kukomelela ngokwaneleyo ukuba kungabikho mntu ufuna ukungqubana ne-United States. ” Ngokucacileyo, abagqatswa beRiphabhlikhi banexhala ikakhulu malunga "nokudideka."
Kwicala leDemokhrasi, uHillary Clinton ebengacacanga ngakumbi malunga nokuma kwakhe kukwanda okumangalisayo kwezixhobo zenyukliya zase-US. Ebuzwa ngumzabalazo woxolo malunga nesigidi sezigidi zedola yenyukliya, uphendule wathi "uzakuyijonga le nto," wongeza wathi: "Ayivakali kum." Nangona kunjalo, njengeminye imicimbi owayesakuba ngunobhala wezomkhosi ethembise ukuba "uzakuyijonga," le ihlala ingekasonjululwa. Ngapha koko, icandelo "loKhuseleko lweLizwe" kwiwebhusayithi yakhe yomkhankaso lithembisa ukuba uyakugcina "ezomkhosi zomeleleyo kwezakha zaziwa lihlabathi" -akungabi luphawu oluqinisekileyo kubagxeki bezixhobo zenyukliya.
NguBernie Sanders kuphela osamkeleyo isikhundla sokungamkelwa. Ngomhla ka-Meyi ka-2015, kungekudala emva kokubhengeza ukuba ngumgqatswa, uSanders wabuzwa kwintlanganiso kawonkewonke malunga nenkqubo yezixhobo zenyukliya ezixabisa i-trillion. Uphendule wathi: “Eyona nto imalunga noku zizinto eziphambili kwilizwe lethu. Singobani thina njengabantu? Ngaba iCongress iyamamela imeko yezomkhosi nezomzi mveliso "engazange yabona mfazwe abangayithandiyo? Okanye simamele abantu beli lizwe abasentlungwini? ” Ngapha koko, uSanders ungomnye wabathathu kuphela base-US abaxhasa umthetho we-SANE Act, umthetho oya kunciphisa kakhulu inkcitho kurhulumente wase-US kwizixhobo zenyukliya. Ukongeza, kwiphulo, uSanders akabizanga kuphela ukuba kuncitshiswe inkcitho yezixhobo zenyukliya, kodwa uqinisekisile inkxaso yakhe yokupheliswa ngokupheleleyo.
Nangona kunjalo, ngenxa yokusilela kweemodareyitha zengxoxo kamongameli ukuphakamisa umba wezixhobo zenyukliya “zala maxesha,” abantu baseMelika bashiyeke bengenalwazi kakhulu malunga nezimvo zabagqatswa ngalo mbandela. Ke, ukuba amaMelika angathanda ukukhanya ngakumbi ekuphenduleni komongameli wabo wexesha elizayo kolu hlaselo lubiza kakhulu kukhuphiswano lwezixhobo zenyukliya, kujongeka ngathi ngabo abaya kufuneka babuze abaviwa umbuzo we-trillion.
