UDavid Swanson, Ake sizame ngentando yeningi.
ICharlottesville, Va., UMkhandlu Wedolobha usohlelweni lwawo lwangoMsombuluko, Mashi 20, ivoti ngesinqumo esiphikisana nesiphakamiso sikaMongameli uDonald Trump sokushintsha amaRandi ayizigidi eziyizinkulungwane ezingama-54 ezidingweni zabantu nezemvelo aye ekusetshenzisweni kwezempi. Lesi sinqumo sifuna iCongress ukuthi ishintshe imali iye kolunye uhlangothi.
Lesi sinqumo sigunyazwe ngabakwaCharlottesville Veterans For Peace, eCharlottesville Amnesty International, World Beyond War, Just World Books, Charlottesville Centre for Peace and Justice, the Piedmont Group of the Sierra Club, Candidate for Commonwealth's Attorney Jeff Fogel, Charlottesville Democratic Socialists of America, Indivisible Charlottesville, Isenzo esibuhlungu, Ndawonye Cville, Abefundisi kanye Laity United for Peace and Justice .
Isiphakamiso sesabelomali sikaTrump sizokwehlisa i-Environmental Protection Agency ngo-31%, uMnyango wezeZindlu nokuThuthukiswa kwamaDolobha ngo-13%, uMnyango Wezwe ngo-28%, uMnyango Wezolimo ngo-21%, i-Corporation for Public Broadcasting ngo-100%, i-Institute. WezeMnyuziyamu Nezinkonzo Zomtapo wezincwadi ngo-100%, kanye neNgcebo Kazwelonke Yezobuciko nge-100%.
Ukusetshenziswa kwezempi kuzokwenyuka ngamaRandi ayizigidi eziyizinkulungwane ezingama-54 kuye kokuthile okungaphezu kuka-60% wemali esetshenziswa ngokubona, iphesenti elingakaze libonwe kusukela ngeMpi Yomshoshaphansi. Ngemuva kwalokho, ngokwemibiko, uTrump uzocela ama-dollar ayizigidi eziyizinkulungwane ezingama-33 zamaRandi njengesabelomali esengeziwe sonyaka wezimali wamanje (hhayi olandelayo) ukuze amasosha asebenzise ezinhlelweni uTrump azilahla njenge-F-35, kanye nokuhlanganisa amaRandi ayizigidi eziyizinkulungwane ezintathu zamaRandi ukuze uMnyango Wezokuphepha Kwezwe uchithe ukwakha udonga nokubopha nokuxosha abokufika. Uma kubhekwa isengezo sesikhathi esizayo esifanayo kusabelomali sonyaka wezimali ka-3, ukusetshenziswa kwemali kwangempela kungabona ngaphezulu kuka-2018% ukuya empini.
Isiphakamiso sesabelomali sikaTrump asixhasi noma iyiphi ingqalasizinda ayithembisile ngesikhathi ekhankasela ukhetho.
"I-Sierra Club yeseka uxhaso olugcwele lwe-Environmental Protection Agency ukuze ikwazi ukuvikela ngokwanele imiphakathi ngokuphoqelela uMthetho Wamanzi Ahlanzekile, I-Clean Air Act, I-Toxic Substances Control Act kanye neminye imithetho ebalulekile," kusho uJohn Cruickshank, uSihlalo we-Piedmont Group. weSiera Club.
“Ngeke sisabheka eceleni. Ngesonto eledlule amasosha angaphansi komhlaba angena eSyria futhi abezindaba abazange bakhulume ngakho. Ngesonto eledlule, abakwaPathfinder babuya empini e-Afrika. Ubani owayazi ukuthi silwa e-Afrika? Sithumele amasosha emazweni angaphezu kuka-150. Mangaki amazwe akhona?” kubuza uDaniel Saint wesahluko saseCharlottesville seVeterans For Peace. “UMongameli Obama, enkulumeni yakhe yokugcina yeSimo SeNyunyana, ngokuziqhenya wathi i-United States isebenzisa ngaphezu kwamazwe ayisishiyagalombili alandelayo ehlangene—i-China, iRussia, iSaudi Arabia, iFrance, i-United Kingdom, i-India, iJalimane ne-Japan. Kuhlanganiswe! Manje uTrump ufuna ukwandisa ngendlela emangalisayo engeza enye imali eyizigidi eziyizinkulungwane ezingama-54 zamaRandi. Kubiza amaRandi ayizinkulungwane ezingu-12 ukumba umthombo oletha amanzi ahlanzekile edolobhaneni elingenawo umthombo wamanzi okuphuza ahlanzekile. Ngokunyuka kwesabelomali okuhlongozwe uTrump, singahlinzeka ngemithombo emisha eyizigidi ezi-4.5 e-Afrika yonkana, e-India naseLatin America. Cabanga nje uma izingane ezivela emhlabeni wonke zikhula zinembono yokuthi i-United States iletha amanzi okuphuza ahlanzekile kunezingcezu zamabhomu ezigxivizwe 'ezenziwe e-USA.' Ingabe izingane zethu nabazukulu bazovikeleka kakhudlwana ngemithombo emisha emisha noma ngezikhali zenuzi ezengeziwe?”
"I-Charlottesville engahlukaniseki, kanye nezinkulungwane zezinhlangano ezingabonakali eMelika yonkana, izibophezele ekulweni nemizamo yokuphatha kaTrump yokuhlehlisa inqubekelaphambili yekhulunyaka elidlule, kanye nokwakha izwe elihlukahlukene elingabhekana nezinselelo zelilandelayo," kusho uDavid Singerman. . “UTrump uhlela ukucekela phansi izinhlelo ezivumela abantu baseVirgini ukuthi baphuze amanzi ahlanzekile, baphefumule umoya ohlanzekile, bahlale ezindlini ezithengekayo, bafunde kwamanye amanyuvesi aphambili emhlabeni, balale ngaphandle kokwesaba izingozi zamakhemikhali nezimboni. Uzokwenza lokhu ukuze aqongelele imali kulokho osekuyibutho elinamandla kakhulu emlandweni, futhi ukuze akhe izindonga ngonya emingceleni yethu futhi aqede izinhlelo zosizo ezinikeza usizo kubantu abasengozini kakhulu emhlabeni. "
"Akukhona nje ukuthi amasosha ayindawo engafanele yokubeka imali eyengeziwe," kusho uDavid Swanson, umqondisi we World Beyond War, “kodwa akekho ongasho nokusho ukuthi yonke leyo mali ishonaphi. UMnyango Wezokuvikela, uMongameli Trump athi udale isidleke se-hornet eMiddle East, yiwona mnyango ongakaze ucwaningwe.”
“Siyazi iminyaka eminingi ukuthi izinqubo zebhizinisi zoMnyango ziyizakudala futhi zimoshakala, futhi ukungakwazi kwawo ukuphumelela ucwaningo lokucwaningwa kwamabhuku kuyicala elidala,” uSihlalo u-John McCain (R-AZ) kanye no-Mac Thornberry (R-TX) weSigele kanye ne-House Armed Services. Amakomiti ashilo kamuva nje ku-a isitatimende esihlangene. "Isizathu sokuthi lezi zinkinga ziqhubeke zilula: ukwehluleka kobuholi kanye nokuntuleka kokuziphendulela."
"Uma singamisa ukuvinjelwa kwamaSulumane," kwengeza uSwanson, "singamisa nesabelomali sokuziphatha okubi!"
A I-CNN poll ngoMashi 1-4 wacela imibono ngalesi siphakamiso: "Khuphula ukusetshenziswa kwezempi ngokunqamula uxhaso loMnyango Wezwe, Inhlangano Yokuvikela Imvelo kanye nezinye izinhlaka ezingavikeleki." Kuzwelonke, u-58% akagunyaziwe, futhi u-41% ugunyaziwe.
I-Charlottesville inikeza isibonelo sokuthi izinto eziza kuqala kwisabelomali sombuso zingahambisani nombono odumile. Kusetshenziswa izibalo zeNational Priorities Project ku-CostofWar.com, "Njalo ngehora, abakhokhi bentela eCharlottesville, eVirginia bakhokha u-$12,258 woMnyango Wezokuvikela ngo-2016." Lokho kungu-$107.4 million ngonyaka. Imali esetshenziswa kakhulu kwezempi ikweminye iminyango. INational Priorities Project ihlinzeka ngezinombolo zabambalwa kubo: $ 4.1 million evela eCharlottesville yezikhali zenuzi, $2.6 million wezikhali zohulumeni bangaphandle, $12.6 million "yokuphepha kwezwe," kanye $6.9 million we-2016 off-the-books extra slush. isikhwama. Lokho yizigidi eziyizinkulungwane ezingama-133.6 zamaRandi, singabali ezinye izindleko ezihlukene, futhi singabali enye imali eyizigidi eziyizinkulungwane ezingama-54 zamaRandi noma enye imali eyizigidi eziyizinkulungwane ezingama-30 zamaRandi, okuzoletha izindleko eCharlottesville ngomunye u-$16 wezigidi ziye ku-$149.6 wezigidi.
Ngokusho kweNational Priorities Project, leyo yimali eyanele ukuhlinzeka Othisha Besikole Samabanga Aphansi abangu-1,850 Unyaka O-1, noma Imisebenzi Engu-2,019 Yamandla Ahlanzekile Edalelwe Unyaka O-1, noma Imisebenzi Yengqalasizinda engu-2,692 Edalwe Unyaka O-1, noma Imisebenzi engu-1,496 Enokusekelwa Okudalwe Emiphakathini Empofu Okuphezulu Unyaka O-1, noma Izikhala Zokuqala Eziyi-16,788 Zekhanda Zezingane Zonyaka O-1, noma Omakadebona Bezempi abangu-14,479 Abathola Ukunakekelwa Kwezokwelapha Kwe-VA Unyaka O-1, noma Izifundiso Eziyi-4,504 Zabafundi Basenyuvesi Iminyaka Emi-4, noma Abafundi abayi-6,431 Abathola Izibonelelo Ze-Pell ze- $5,815 Iminyaka emi-4, noma engu-63,103 iminyaka engu-1.

Ngayinye yalezi zinto ingaphezu kweCharlottesville, engenayo imizi engu-XNUMX, engayisebenzisa.
