Umsebenzi obalulekile wanoma yimuphi umongameli wase-US ukuphakamisa isabelomali sonyaka kuCongress. Akufanele kube wumsebenzi oyisisekelo wawo wonke umuntu omele ukuphakamisa umuntu emphakathini? Ngabe isabelomali akuyona idokhumenti eqinile yokuziphatha neyepolitiki echaza ukuthi iyiphi i-chunk yomnyango wethu womphakathi okufanele iye kwezemfundo noma ukuvikela imvelo noma impi?

Uhlaka oluyisisekelo lwesabelomali esinjalo lungahle lube nohlu noma ishadi likaphayidi elixhumana - ngamanani ama-dollar kanye / noma amaphesenti - malini ukusetshenziswa kwemali kahulumeni lapho kufanele. Kuyamangaza kimi ukuthi abantu abamele ukhetho kabazivezi lezi.

Ngokwazi engikwazile ukunquma, noma kungenangqondo kangakanani ukuthi kubukeke kuyinto engenakwenzeka, akekho umuntu ongeyena ophethe isikhundla sokuba ngumongameli wase-US owake wakhipha ngisho nolwabiwomali olubi kakhulu lwesabelomali esihlongozwayo, futhi akukho mphathi wempikiswano noma isikhungo esikhulu semidiya owake wasungula esidlangalaleni wacela eyodwa.

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?

Abanye abazongenela ukhetho bangathanda ukukhiqiza uhlelo lokuthola imali / lwentela. "Uyokwenyusa kuphi imali?" Umbuzo obalulekile njengokuthi "uzosebenzisa kuphi imali?" Kepha ukuthi "uzosebenzisa kuphi imali?" Kubukeka njengombuzo oyisisekelo okufanele ubuzwe yilowo ozongenela ukhetho.

UMgcinimafa wase-US uhlukanisa izinhlobo ezintathu zokusetshenziswa kwemali kukahulumeni wase-US. Okukhulu ukusebenzisa kwemali okuphoqelekile. Lokhu kwenziwa kakhulu ngokuphepha kwezeNhlalo, iMedicare, neMedicaid, kepha nokunakekelwa kwamaVeterans nezinye izinto. Okuncane kunalezi zinhlobo ezintathu inzalo ezikweletini. Phakathi kwesigaba kubizwa ngokuthi ukusetshenziswa kwemali enengqondo. Lokhu kusetshenziswa kwemali ukuthi iCongress inquma ukuthi isetshenziswe kanjani unyaka ngamunye.

Okumelwe kukhiqizwe yilowo nalowo umongameli kumele, okungenani, kuyisisekelo sesabelomali sobumbano sombuso. Lokhu kuzosebenza njengesibonakaliso salokho umuntu ngamunye ozobuza iCongress ukuthi abe ngumongameli. Uma ukhetho luzozwa ukuthi zidinga ukukhiqiza amabhajethi amakhulu achaza izinguquko ezimalini elisetshenzisiwe, kungcono kakhulu.

UMongameli uTrump ungomunye wokuqokwa kukaMongameli ngonyaka we-2020 okhiqize isiphakamiso sesabelomali (unyaka nonyaka abe esesikhundleni). Njengoba kuhlaziywa yiNational eziza kuqala Project, isiphakamiso sebhajethi sakamuva sikaTrump sisebenzise ama-57% okusebenzisa imali ngokuzikhethela kwezempi (izimpi namalungiselelo empi). Lokhu kungenxa yokuthi lolu cwaningo beluphatha ezokuPhepha Kwasekhaya, Amandla (uMnyango wezaMandla ikakhulukazi yizikhali zenuzi), kanye nezindaba zeVeterans ngazinye njengezigaba ezihlukene ezingafakwanga ngaphansi kwesigaba sezempi.

Umphakathi wase-US, ekuvoteni iminyaka edlule, ubukhombisa ukungazi ukuthi ibhajethi ibukeka kanjani, futhi - uma usunolwazi - ukwazisa isabelomali esihluke kakhulu kwesangempela ngaleso sikhathi. Nginelukuluku lokuthi umuntu ngamunye okhankasela ihhovisi likaMongameli ufuna isabelomali sombuso sibukeke kanjani. Ngabe bazoyibeka imali yabo (kahle, imali yethu) lapho imilomo yabo ikhona? Basho ukuthi banendaba nezinto eziningi ezinhle, kepha bazosikhombisa ukuthi banendaba kangakanani ngamunye wabo?

Ngisola ngokuqinile ukuthi abantu abaningi bazoyibona le mehluko obalulekile, futhi banemibono eqinile ngabo, uma singakhonjiswa ishadi lesisekelo sephayi lokusebenzisa izinto eziza kuqala kumuntu ngamunye.
