Okokuqala izindaba ezinhle.
If enye yezingcezu ezimbi kakhulu zomthetho ezake zalungiswa iba ngumthetho, kunesilinganiso esisodwa esincane esingathokoziswa ngaso. RootsAction.org futhi World BEYOND War nezinye izinhlangano eziningi nezishoshovu ezivela ePuerto Rico nakwamanye amazwe aseMelika nangaphezulu bakhuthaze iCongress ngalo isicelo nezindlela ezahlukahlukene zokunxusa ezihlinzeka ngama- $ 10 wezigidi ukuthengwa kwamagumbi okuvalelwa ekuhlanzeni kokungcola kwamasosha eVieques, ePuerto Rico.
Lesi ngesinye sezinyathelo eziningi ezedlule eziphasiswe yiNdlu Yabamele kodwa hhayi iSenethi. Ngokungafani nezindlela eziningi ezinjalo, le yasinda “ekuyekethiseni” phakathi kwezinguqulo zombili.
Izenzo zokuqhuma kwamabhomu eVieques zaphela e2003. Kodwa lokhu okunye “ukuqhuma kwamabhomu,” ukuvulwa komoya ovulekile ngaphansi kogu "lokuhlanza," kuyaqhubeka. Sacela iCongress ukuthi iqede i-OB / OD (ukuvulwa okuvulekile / ukuqhuma okuvulekile) kwemishini, ekhipha ubuthi emvelweni futhi igulise inani labantu bendawo. Beholwa nguCongressikazi Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, amalungu eCongress akwazile ukwenza le nto eyodwa.
Ngoba uma iPuerto Rico ithola okuwukuphela kwento enhle ku-stinker yomthetho ongaba khona.
Ngeke uthole okuncane ngalokhu umbhalo wokugcina webhili uma usesha i- "Vieques," kepha uzokwenzela uma usesha u- "detonation" noma amanye amagama akule ngxenye:
“I-SEC. I-378. UKUTHOLA IZIMANGALISO ZOKUFUNA OKUFANELEKILE. (a) NGOKUGCWELE. - Unobhala wezempi wezempi uzothenga futhi asebenzise indawo evaliwe yokuvalwa kwendawo yokuhlanza imishini kanye nensiza yokusika ijetti ukuze isatshalaliswe endaweni eyake yaba ngamabhomu endaweni engaphandle kwezwekazi le-United States eyingxenye yohlelo olwenziwayo lokulungiswa komhlaba lusebenzisa amanani enzelwe ukubuyiselwa kwemvelo. , Navy. Phezu kwesinqumo sikaNobhala Wezempi ukuthi igumbi seliphothule ukuthunyelwa komnyango osendaweni efanelekile kuleyo ndawo eyayihlaselwa ngamasosha, uNobhala angathumela igumbi liye kwenye indawo. (b) UKUXHUMANYWA KWEZOBUCHWEPHESHE. — Kugunyazwe ukwabiwa konyaka wezimali u-2020 $ 10,000,000 ukwenza isigatshana (a). "
Manje ngezindaba ezimbi.
Ngenkathi u- $ 10 million kuzwakala njengokuningi kuwe noma kimi, kumane nje kungamaphesenti ama-0.001 ezigidigidi zamaRandi we-783 aphonswa ezimpini namalungiselelo empi kulo mthetho.
Isabelomali uMongameli uTrump siphakamise ukuthi kube yiCongress ye2020 sifaka ama- $ 718 ayizigidigidi zamasosha aseMelika, angabali "Ezokuphepha Kwasekhaya," izikhali zenuzi eMnyangweni "Wezamandla", noma izindleko zamasosha kweminye iminyango nezinhlangano, phezu kwe-60% yokuchitha kwemali federal yokulwa izimpi namalungiselelo ezimpi eziningi.
ICongress isizovota kumthethosivivinywa wokunikeza iPentagon ngisho nangaphezu kokuphakanyisiwe kukaTrump: $ 738 billion. Futhi, ngenkathi izitolo zemidiya ezihlanganayo zingabangi ngokusobala ukuthi "Kepha uzokhokhela kanjani?" Okuthengiswayo akube nzima kakhulu. Izingxenyana ezincane lwale mali kungaqeda indlala noma ukuntuleka kwamanzi ahlanzekile emhlabeni jikelele. Ingxenyana encane kakhulu ingaqala ukubhekana nengozi yangempela yokuwohloka kwesimo sezulu - ingozi eyanda kakhulu ngenxa yezimpi.
Akukhona kuphela lo mthethosivivinywa, Umthetho Kazwelonke Wokugunyazwa Kwezokuvikela (NDAA), inhlekelele, kepha cishe bonke izinyathelo ezinhle obekunguqulo edluliswe yiNdlu manje sekukhulunyiwe iKomidi leNgqungquthela elinikezwe umsebenzi wokubuyisana ngezinhlobo zeNdlu nezeSenethi.
Uhlobo lwendlu lwendlu, olwedlule ekuqaleni kwalo nyaka, luqukethe lezi zinyathelo ezilandelayo ezisusiwe ngokuphelele (lolu uhlu olunengxenye):
- Ukuchithwa Kwesigunyaziso Sokusetshenziswa Kwempi Yezempi Ngokulwa Nokuxazululwa Kwe-Iraq kwe-2002.
- ukunqatshelwa kwamasosha empi noma ngokumelene ne-Iran.
- ukwenqatshwa kokunikeza ukusekela noma ukubamba iqhaza empini Yemen.
- ukwenqatshwa kwemali yokusetshenziselwa imicibisholo engahambisani ne-Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Convention.

- Isidingo se-EPA sokuqoka wonke ama-PFAS (amakhemikhali lapho amasosha asekela amanzi asemhlabathini anobuthi) njengezinto eziyingozi ngaphansi koMthetho Wokuphendula Okuphathelene Nezemvelo, Inxephezelo, kanye noMthetho Wezikweletu.
INdlu kubukeka sengathi ihlukane neSenethi ngokunikela cishe kulo lonke leli bhodi.
Lo mthethosivivinywa awemukelekile. Yenza amathuba ezimpi ezengeziwe kanye nempi yenuzi ibe nkulu.
