Kutheni le nto uTrump kuphela uMgqatswa onesiphakamiso sikaHlahlo-lwabiwo mali?

Umsebenzi obalulekileyo wakhe nawuphi na umongameli wase-US kukuphakamisa uhlahlo-lwabiwo mali lonyaka kwiCongress. Ayifanelanga ukuba ngumsebenzi osisiseko wabo bonke abagqatswa ukuba bacebise uluntu? Ngaba uhlahlo-lwabiwo mali alukho uxwebhu oluqinisekileyo lokuziphatha kunye nezopolitiko ezichaza ukuba yeyiphi i-chunk yovimba wethu woluntu ekufuneka eye kwimfundo okanye ukhuseleko lokusingqongileyo okanye emfazweni?

Isiseko sesiseko sohlahlo-lwabiwo mali sinokuba noluhlu okanye itshathi yephayi yokunxibelelana - kwiidola kunye / okanye kwiipesenti - ingakanani inkcitho karhulumente ekufuneka ihambile. Kuyothusa kum ukuba abagqatswa boomongameli abayivelisi le.

Ngokokwazi kwam ukucacisa, nangona kungenangqondo kangako ukuba kubonakale ngathi akunakwenzeka, akukho mgqatswa ongekho mgangathweni womongameli wase-US owakhe wavelisa elona nqaku luqingqiweyo kuhlahlo-lwabiwo mali olucetyiweyo, kwaye akukho mpendulo imodareyitha okanye iphulo elikhulu losasazo lakudala esidlangalaleni. ubuze enye.

Kukho abagqatswa okwangoku abacebisa utshintsho olukhulu kwimfundo, kwezempilo, kokusingqongileyo, nakwinkcitho yezomkhosi. Amanani, nangona kunjalo, ahlala engacacanga kwaye engqeshwanga. Yimalini, okanye yeyiphi ipesenti, abafuna ukuchitha kuyo?

Abanye abaviwa banokuthanda ukuvelisa isicwangciso sokungenisa imali kunye nerhafu. "Uza kuyinyusa phi imali?" Kubalulekile ukuba umbuzo ube "uza kuyichitha phi imali?" Kodwa "uza kuyichitha phi imali?" Kubonakala ngathi ngumbuzo osisiseko ofanele ubuzwe ngumgqatswa.

I-Ofisi kaNondyebo yase-US yahlula iintlobo ezintathu zenkcitho kurhulumente wase-US. Eyona inkulu yinkcitho kunyanzeliso. Oku kwenziwa ikakhulu ngoKhuseleko lweNtlalo, iMedicare, neMedicaid, kodwa nokukhathalelwa kwamaVeterans kunye nezinye izinto. Elona hlobo zincinci kwezi zintathu inzala kwityala. Ngaphakathi kudidi olubizwa ngokuba kukuchitha inkcitho. Le yinkcitho ethi iCongress ithathe isigqibo malunga nendlela yokuchitha unyaka ngamnye.

Yintoni ekufuneka yenziwe ngumongameli ngamnye, ubuncinci, luphawu olusisiseko lohlahlo-lwabiwo mali lukazwelonke. Oku kungasebenza njengemboniso yoko kuya kufunwa ngumgqatswa ngamnye njengeCongress njengo Mongameli. Ukuba abaviwa bavakalelwa kukuba kufuneka bavelise uhlahlo-lwabiwo mali olubalulekileyo olubonisa utshintsho olwenziweyo kwinkcitho enyanzelekileyo, kubaluleke kakhulu.

Umongameli uTrump ngumntu onyulwe ukuba abe ngumongameli ngonyaka ka-2020 ovelise isindululo sohlahlo-lwabiwo mali (kunyaka ngamnye ebehleli e-ofisini). Njengoko kuhlalutywe yiProjekthi yeSizwe ephambili, uhlahlo-lwabiwo mali lukaTrump luchithe iipesenti ezingama-57 zokuchitha imali kwimfazwe (iimfazwe namalungiselelo emfazwe). Ngaphandle kwale nto yokuba olu hlalutyo lwaluphatha uKhuseleko lwaseKhaya, i-eneji (iSebe lezaMandla ubukhulu becala yizixhobo zenyukli), kunye neMicimbi yeVeterans nganye ngokwamanqanaba ahlukeneyo angaqukwanga phantsi kodidi lwemfazwe.

Uluntu lwase-US, ekuvoteni ukutyhubela iminyaka, beluthande ukungazi ukuba lubukeka njani uhlahlo-lwabiwo mali, kwaye kwakwazisiwe- ukwamkela uhlahlo-lwabiwo mali olwahluke kakhulu kolona lwelo xesha. Ndinomdla wokuba umntu ngamnye okhankasela ubuongameli ufuna uhlahlo-lwabiwo mali olujongeka njani. Ngaba baya kuyibeka imali yabo (kakuhle, imali yethu) apho imilomo yabo ikhoyo? Batsho ukuba bakhathalele izinto ezininzi ezilungileyo, kodwa ngaba baya kusibonisa ukuba bazikhathalele kangakanani na nganye nganye?

Ndiyakrokrela ukuba uninzi lwabantu luya kuyamkela umohluko obalulekileyo, kwaye banezimvo eziqinileyo ngabo, ukuba siboniswe itshathi yephayi-isiseko sezinto eziphambili ngokubaluleka ezivela kumgqatswa ngamnye.
