I-House of Representatives iphumele ngaphandle kwedolobha ukuyokhumbula izimpi ngaphandle kokuphatha ukuzuza isivumelwano neSenethi sokugunyaza kabusha ezinye zezinyathelo ezihlukumeza kakhulu "zesikhashana" zoMthetho we-PATRIOT. Amaholidi amathathu e-Congressional amaholide!
Kuthiwani uma kungeyona nje inkululeko yethu yomphakathi kodwa isabelomali sethu sibuyelwe kancane ngo-2001?
Ngo-2001, ukusetshenziswa kwezempi yase-US kwakungamaRandi ayizigidi eziyizinkulungwane ezingu-397, kusukela lapho kukhuphuke kwafinyelela inani eliphakeme lamaRandi ayizigidi eziyizinkulungwane ezingu-720 ngo-2010, futhi manje sekungamaRandi ayizigidi eziyizinkulungwane ezingu-610 ngo-2015. Lezi zibalo ezivela e-Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (ngamadola ango-2011 njalo) azibandakanyi ukukhokhelwa kwezikweletu. , izindleko zomakadebona, nokuvikela umphakathi, okukhuphula isibalo sibe ngaphezu kwesigidi esingu-$1 ngonyaka manje, singabali ukusetshenziswa kwemali kombuso nendawo kwezempi.
Ukusetshenziswa kwezempi manje sekungu-54% wezindleko zenhlangano yase-US ngokubona ngokwe-National Priorities Project. Konke okunye - kanye nayo yonke inkulumo-mpikiswano lapho ama-liberals efuna ukuchitha imali eningi futhi ama-conservatives afuna kancane! - iqukethwe kwamanye ama-46% esabelomali.
Izindleko zezempi zase-US, ngokusho kwe-SIPRI, zingama-35% engqikithi yomhlaba. I-US ne-Europe benza ama-56% omhlaba. I-US kanye nabalingani bayo emhlabeni wonke (inamasosha emazweni angu-175, futhi amazwe amaningi ahlome ingxenye enkulu yizinkampani zase-US) enza ingxenye enkulu yezindleko zomhlaba.
I-Iran isebenzisa u-0.65% wezindleko zezempi zomhlaba (kusukela ngo-2012, unyaka wokugcina otholakalayo). Imali esetshenziswa ezempi yaseShayina ibilokhu ikhuphuka iminyaka futhi inyuke kusukela ngo-2008 kanye ne-pivot yase-US eya e-Asia, isuka ku-$107 billion ngo-2008 yafinyelela manje ku-$216 billion. Kodwa lokho kuseyi-12% nje kuphela yemali esetshenziswayo emhlabeni.
Umuntu ngamunye i-US manje isebenzisa u-$1,891 wamadola amanje ase-US kumuntu ngamunye e-United States, uma kuqhathaniswa no-$242 umuntu ngamunye emhlabeni wonke, noma u-$165 umuntu ngamunye emhlabeni ngaphandle kwase-US, noma u-$155 umuntu ngamunye e-China.
Ukukhuphuka ngokumangazayo kwezindleko zezempi zase-US akwenzanga i-US noma umhlaba uphephe. Ekuqaleni “kwempi yobushokobezi” uhulumeni wase-US wayeka ukubika ngobuphekula, njengoba bukhula. IGlobal Terrorism Index ibhala a ukwanda okuqhubekayo ekuhlaselweni kwamaphekula kusukela ngo-2001 kuze kube manje. Inhlolovo ye-Gallup emazweni angu-65 ekupheleni kuka-2013 yathola i-United States ibhekwa njengengozi enkulu yokuthula emhlabeni. I-Iraq isiphenduke isihogo, iLibya, i-Afghanistan, iYemen, iPakistan neSomalia iseduze. Amaqembu amaphekula asanda kucasuka avele ephendula ngqo ubuphekula base-US kanye nomonakalo osele ngemuva. Futhi kuye kwaqubuka imijaho yezikhali ezuzisa abadayisi bezikhali kuphela.
Kodwa ukusetshenziswa kwemali kube neminye imiphumela. I-US ikhuphuke yaba emazweni amahlanu aphezulu emhlabeni ngenxa yokungalingani kwengcebo. I 10th izwe elicebe kakhulu emhlabeni ngomuntu ngamunye alibukeki licebile uma ushayela kulo. Futhi kufanele ushayele, ngamamayela angu-0 wesitimela esinesivinini esikhulu esakhiwe; kodwa amaphoyisa endawo ase-US anezikhali zempi manje. Futhi kufanele uqaphele lapho ushayela. I-American Society of Civil Engineers inikeza ingqalasizinda yase-US i-D+. Izindawo zamadolobha afana neDetroit seziphenduke igwadule. Izindawo zokuhlala azinawo amanzi noma zigcwele ubuthi ngenxa yokungcoliswa kwemvelo - ezikhathini eziningi ngenxa yemisebenzi yezempi. I-US manje isezingeni 35th enkululekweni yokuzikhethela ukuthi wenzeni ngempilo yakho, 36th esikhathini sokuphila, 47th ekuvimbeleni ukufa kwezingane, 57th emsebenzini, nezindlela in imfundo by various izinyathelo.
Uma ukusetshenziswa kwezempi yase-US bekuvele kubuyiselwe emazingeni ka-2001, ukonga kwezigidigidi ezingama- $213 ngonyaka kungahlangabezana nezidingo ezilandelayo:
Qeda indlala nendlala emhlabeni wonke - $30 billion ngonyaka.
Nikeza amanzi okuphuza ahlanzekile emhlabeni wonke - $ 11 billion ngonyaka.
Nikeza ikolishi lamahhala e-United States - $70 billion ngonyaka (ngokomthetho weSenethi).
Usizo lwangaphandle lwase-US oluphindwe kabili - $23 billion ngonyaka.
Yakha futhi ulondoloze uhlelo lwesitimela esinesivinini esikhulu e-US - $ 30 billion ngonyaka.
Tshala imali yelanga namandla avuselelekayo kunanini ngaphambili - amaRandi ayizigidi eziyizinkulungwane ezingama-20 ngonyaka.
Fundisa izinhlelo zokuthula kunanini ngaphambili - $10 billion ngonyaka.
Lokho kuzoshiya u-$19 billion osele ngonyaka okumele ukhokhe ngawo isikweletu.
Ungase uthi ngiyaphupha, kodwa lokhu ukuphila nokufa. Impi ibulala kakhulu ngendlela imali engasetshenziswa ngayo kunokuba isetshenziswe kanjani.
Impendulo eyodwa
Siyabonga ngokusho okusobala futhi, David. Ngiyamangala ukuthi uzokwenza mehluko muni uma iningi, noma iningi, lezakhamizi zase-US lazi lawa maqiniso ayisisekelo mayelana nokwenza inzuzo kwezempi-ngikholwa ukuthi kungenza umehluko. Sinababizwa ngabaholi bemibono, izinhlobo zemidiya, izinhloko ezikhulumayo, ukubonga ngokungazi okukhona kwe-racket enkulu yokuvikela okuwuhulumeni wase-US kanye nomnotho. Ngisho nabahlaziyi ababukela phansi inqubomgomo yempi yase-US abalokothi batshiyoze ngobugovu nokwenza inzuzo okudala yonke le nto-bangalokothi bathi “Umnotho, ubuwula.”
Ngelinye ilanga abampofu baseMelika bayobona ukuthi baphuphuthekiswa izicebi zezempi ezisebenzisa umkhankaso wenkulumo-ze oyingozi kakhulu emlandweni ukuze kubhebhethekise ukwesaba okugxilise umkhonyovu wabo omkhulu wokuvikela. Izinto zizoqala ukushintsha ngaleso sikhathi….
