Umshayeli osemusha oqongelela imali yohambo lokuyofunda eJapane wathatha isikhathi ukwenza inhlolovo yethu yesenti.
Wawafaka wonke amasenti akhe ayishumi embizeni ukuze afunde, kanjalo nodadewabo.
Njengengxenye yokumelana kwethu nentela yempi mina nomyeni wami sethule nabanye abaphikisayo enkabeni yeMaine ngoMgqibelo oshubile wasentwasahlobo. Misa eduze kwe-Waterville Opera House lapho umculi we The Little Mermaid kwethulwa, inhlolovo yethu yesenti yathola izimpendulo ezingama-51 kubantu ababedlula emgwaqweni omkhulu waleli dolobha elaliyisizinda sokugaya manje osekuyikhaya lamakolishi amabili amancane.
Umhlanganyeli ngamunye ube namapeni ayishumi azowachitha amele unyaka owodwa wezindleko zenhlangano, kanye nezigaba eziyishumi ezingase zisetshenziswe kuzo.
Uhlu olubanzi lweminyaka ehlanganisa izingane, abadala kanye nezinkulungwane zeminyaka babambe iqhaza phakathi namahora amane. Indoda ephethe isikhwama esikhulu sezinto ezibuyiselwayo ithole ibhodlela ngaphansi kwesinye sezihlahlana eduze kwetafula lethu ngemva kokuma ukuze yenze ukuvota. Njengabafundi bevayolini, wafaka wonke amasenti ayishumi anikeziwe embizeni ebhalwe ukuthi MFUNDO. Incazelo yakhe: “Uma unakekela leyo ndawo, inakekela zonke ezinye.”
Nansi imiphumela yenhlolovo yethu yango-April 8, 2017 yabantu abangu-51 e-Waterville, Maine:
IMFUNDO 26%
IZEMPILO 19%
I-ENV / AMANDLA 18%
UKUDLA/AMAFAMU 10%
AMAkadebona 7%
IZINDLU 6%
AMASOSHA 6%
EZOKUTHUTHA. 3%
ISIKWELETU 3%
UHULUMENI 2%
Ngiqhathanise imiphumela yethu izolo nenhlolovo efanayo esisize ukuyiqhuba ngo-2011 kuzo zonke izifunda zaseMaine. Njengoba kubikwe ku- “I-Mainers Ufuna Izintela Zabo Zomholo Zikahulumeni Zichithwe Kwezemfundo, Ukunakekelwa Kwezempilo” kuwebhusayithi yeNational Priorities Project:
Imfundo, ukunakekelwa kwezempilo, kanye nezinzuzo zomakadebona kwakuyizinqumo eziphezulu zokusebenzisa imali yenhlangano phakathi kwama-Mainers angu-1,552 abambe iqhaza okhethweni olwenziwa esifundeni ngasinye kwezingu-16 zaseMaine. Imiphumela yabonisa ukuthi imfundo (21%), ukunakekelwa kwezempilo (19%) kanye nezinzuzo zomakadebona (12%) kwakuyizinqumo eziphezulu phakathi kwabantu ababambe iqhaza. Lezo zalandelwa ezemvelo/isayensi (11%), ukudla/ezolimo (9%), kokubili ezokuthutha kanye nenzalo esikweletini sikazwelonke (7%), ezezindlu (6%), ezokuvikela (5%), kanye nohulumeni jikelele (2 %).
Sekukonke, sibona izinto eziseqhulwini ezifanayo ngowezi-2011 nangowezi-2017; imfundo isalokhu iphezulu ohlwini kanye nokunakekelwa kwezempilo endaweni yesibili. Imvelo namandla kunendawo egqame kakhudlwana manje ngemva kweminyaka eyisithupha yezinxushunxushu zesimo sezulu, kuyilapho ukukhathazeka ngezinzuzo zomakadebona kanye nokukhokhela isikweletu kwehle kancane. Amasosha - empeleni athola ngaphezu kwengxenye yesabelomali sokuzikhethela unyaka nonyaka - akhuphuke iphuzu elilodwa ukusuka ku-5% kuya ku-6%.
Futhi ingumngcolisi wekhabhoni omkhulu kunayo yonke emhlabeni ngakho-ke akukho mali esetshenziswa ezisombululweni zamandla esimeme ezomisa ukufudumala kwembulunga yonke ngaphandle kokubhekana nomnikelo wePentagon kule nkinga.
Nansi igrafu yendlela izintela zethu ezisetshenziswe ngayo ngonyaka wezimali ka-2015.
Izinkulungwane zeminyaka eza ukuzosiza zabelana ngokuthi zigwema izintela zempi ngokugwema imali engenayo. Abakwazi ukuba nekhaya noma ukuqala umndeni, futhi bakhathazeka ngomphumela obandayo lokhu okunawo ebuhlotsheni. Abaningi basebenza imisebenzi eminingi ukuze bakhokhe imali ebolekiwe yabafundi futhi bangaphumeleli.
Izinkulungwane zeminyaka zibe nobuhlakani bokuthola izindlela zokungagcini kulesi simo:
Ukulandelela izingxoxo nalabo abavotwe kuzodingeka ukuze kunqunywe, icala ngalinye, ukuthi kungani bevota ngamasenti abo njengoba benza. Omunye umbono enginawo mayelana nokuthi kungani babela izimali ezincane kangaka ezindaweni ezibalulekile njengokudla noma izindlu ukuthi abakubheki ukondla noma ukuhlalisa abantu njengomsebenzi ofanele kahulumeni kazwelonke; kanti imfundo nokunakekelwa kwezempilo kuthathwa njengemisebenzi efanele kahulumeni kazwelonke.
Ingabe i-central Mainers ihlale isikhathi eside ngaphandle kwezinhlelo zezokuthutha zomphakathi ezinenjongo kangangokuthi isikhohlwe indima yohulumeni ekunikezeni lokhu?
Imigqa yezitimela eyayivame ukuya enyakatho isuka e-Waterville yadatshulwa ivuna imigwaqo egandayiwe engcono ezizukulwaneni ezimbalwa ezedlule. Leyo migwaqo ewuthelawayeka manje inemigodi elingana nezimoto ezincane ikakhulukazi ezibangelwa amaloli agcwele ngokweqile athwala amahlathi aseMaine. Abantu abahola kancane abakwazi ukuthola imisebenzi eminingi ngenxa yokuthi abakwazi ukunakekela imoto isesimweni esisemthethweni sokusebenza kuthiwani ngokuhlolwa nezindleko zomshwalense, futhi awekho amabhasi abangawasebenzisa ukuze bahambe.

Umndeni wababaleki abasanda kuzinza eduze kwase-Waterville ukhokhela abantu ukuba babayise futhi bababuyisele emisebenzini yabo epulazini likatamatisi elisendlini eliqhele ngamamayela angu-20 ukusuka lapho behlala khona. Kunoma yiliphi izwe engake ngavakashela - eCanada, eMexico, eNgilandi, eFrance, eGreece, e-Italy, eJapane, e-Afghanistan, e-India - kungaba khona isevisi yamabhasi ngisho nasezindaweni zasemaphandleni.
Kodwa uma owake wakwazi nje ukuthi i-US idakwe ngendlela ehlukile kanye ne-imperial hubris, kungaba nzima ukubona ukuthi yini esishoda ngayo ukuze sixhase impi engapheli kanye nenzuzo eyichilo yabakhiqizi bezikhali noma abahlinzeki “bezokuphepha” abafana noBlackwater. I-Iraq. I-CEO yakamuva u-Erik Prince manje kuthiwa usengumeluleki omkhulu embusweni omusha e-White House. Izinto angeke zihambe zibheke ekunikezeni abantu lokho abakufunayo ngempela ukuze bathole izintela zabo zenhlangano noma nini maduze.
Kuyintela ngaphandle kokumelwa bakwethu. Futhi uyazi lapho into enjalo iholela khona.
