A isikhalazo kusekelwa World BEYOND War, I- RootsAction.org, neDaily Kos, sekuqoqe amasiginesha angaphezu kuka-12,000 kubantu abacela ukhetho lukamongameli ukuthi baphakamise isabelomali sombuso.
Umsebenzi obalulekile wanoma yimuphi umongameli wase-US ukuphakamisa isabelomali sonyaka kuCongress. Uhlaka oluyisisekelo lwesabelomali esinjalo lungahle lube nohlu noma ishadi lokuphaya elixhumana - ngamanani ama-dollar kanye / noma amaphesenti - malini ukusetshenziswa kwemali kahulumeni lapho kufanele.
Ngokwazi kwethu, akekho umuntu ongamele isikhundla soMongameli wase-US owake wakhipha ngisho nolaka olubi kakhulu lwesabelomali esihlongozwayo, futhi akukho mphathi wempikiswano noma isikhungo esikhulu sabezindaba esake sabuza esisodwa. Kunabaqokiwe njengamanje abaphakamisa ushintsho olukhulu emfundweni, kwezempilo, kwezemvelo nasekuchitheni imali kwezempi. Izinombolo, noma kunjalo, zihlala zingacacile futhi zixhunyiwe. Malini, noma amaphesenti amangaki, abafuna ukuchitha lapho?
Ngeke sazi ngaphandle kokuthi sibuze. I- isicelo siyaqhubeka nokuqoqa amasiginesha.
Abanye abazongenela ukhetho bangathanda ukukhiqiza uhlelo lokuthola imali / lwentela. "Uyokwenyusa kuphi imali?" Umbuzo obalulekile njengokuthi "uzosebenzisa kuphi imali?" Lokhu esikucelayo njengencane elincane kumane nje kuwukugcina.
UMgcinimafa wase-US uhlukanisa izinhlobo ezintathu zokusetshenziswa kwemali kukahulumeni wase-US. Okukhulu ukusebenzisa kwemali okuphoqelekile. Lokhu kwenziwa kakhulu ngokuPhepha koMphakathi, iMedicare, neMedicaid, kepha nokunakekelwa kwamaVeterans nezinye izinto. Okuncane kunalezi zinhlobo ezintathu inzalo ezikweletini. Iphakathi nendawo isigaba esibizwa ngokuthi ukusebenzisa imali ngokubonakalayo. Lokhu kusetshenziswa kwemali ukuthi iCongress inquma ukuthi isetshenziswe kanjani unyaka ngamunye. Esikucela ukhetho lukamongameli ukuthi kube uhlaka oluyisisekelo lwesabelomali sobumbano. Lokhu kuzosebenza njengesibonakaliso salokho umuntu ngamunye ozobuza iCongress ukuthi abe ngumongameli.
Nakhu iHhovisi Lesabelomali Sezilinganiso imibiko kuhla lwesisekelo lokusetshenziswa kwemali kukahulumeni wase-US e-2018: 
Uzobona ukuthi ukuchitha imali ngokuhlukanisa kuhlukaniswe izigaba ezimbili ezibanzi: ezempi, nakho konke okunye. Nakhu ukwehlukana okuqhubekayo okuvela Ehhovisi Lokusebenza Kwezimali.
Uzoqaphela ukuthi ukunakekelwa kwama-veterans kuvela lapha kanye nokusebenzisa imali okuphoqelekile, nokuthi kuhlukaniswe njengokungeyona eyezempi. Okunye futhi okubalwa njengokungeyona eyezempi lapha yizikhali zenuzi eMnyangweni “Wezamandla”, nezindleko zezinhlangano ezithile zezinhlangano ezithile.
UMongameli uTrump ungomunye wokuqokwa kukaMongameli ngonyaka we-2020 okhiqize isiphakamiso sesabelomali. Nayi eyakhe yakamuva engezansi, ngeNational eziza kuqala Project. (Uzoqaphela ukuthi i-Energy, ne-Homeland Security, kanye ne-Veterans Affairs zonke izigaba ezihlukile, kepha lokho "ukuzivikela" kukhuphukele kuma-57% okusebenzisa imali ngokubonakalayo.)
Empeleni, iCongress inikeze uTrump imali eningi yezempi kunalokho abekucelile.
Yini ongayicela? Ngibe nawe uzame ukubuza?
