Njengoba abantu baseMelika belungiselela ukukhokha imali eyengeziwe yezikhwama ezilayishwayo, balinde emigqeni emide, futhi bakhuthazelele izindiza eziminyene zezentengiselwano kuleli hlobo, abanikazi bamajethi abacebe kakhulu bajabulela ikhefu lentela nokunethezeka ngezindleko zomphakathi. “Amaflaya Aphezulu: Ukuhamba Kwezindiza Ezizimele Kucindezela Kanjani Uhlelo, Kufudumeza Iplanethi, Futhi Kudle Imali,” umbiko omusha ovela ku-Institute for Policy Studies and Essential Action, udalula umthelela wendiza yangasese ohlelweni lokuhamba kwezindiza, ukukhishwa kwekhabhoni. , nabahambi bansuku zonke.
“Nakuba ukuhamba ngendiza sekubiza kakhulu, kungakhululeki futhi kwehlisa isithunzi kithina sonke, isigaba esandayo sabantu baseMelika abacebe kakhulu babhebhezela ukwanda kwamajethi azimele futhi bandiza kakhulu ngamakhefu entela,” kusho uChuck Collins, isazi esiphezulu eSikhungweni. Yezifundo Zenqubomgomo kanye nomxhumanisi WeQembu Elisebenzayo Lokungalingani Okudlulele. “Ukwanda kwezindiza ezizimele kunezindleko zangempela kubakhokhi bentela, abaninimasheya, nabahambi bezindiza nsuku zonke. Lawa mapheshana aphezulu awagcini nje ngokuziphilela amalungelo awodwa, asongela indawo yethu ezungezile, ukuphepha kanye nokubumbana kwezwe lethu, ngezindleko zethu.”
Ngokombiko, obhalwe ngokuhlanganyela uCollins, uSarah Anderson, noDedrick Muhammad we-Institute for Policy Studies, noSamuel Bollier noRobert Weissman be-Essential Action, kule minyaka eyishumi edlule kube nokuqhuma okungakaze kubonwe ekuhambeni kwendiza yangasese e-United States. Phakathi kuka-2003 no-2007 kuphela, ukuthengiswa kwaminyaka yonke kwamajethi azimele emhlabeni wonke kuphindeke kabili kuya ku-US$19.4 billion.
“Ijethi elicebe kakhulu, elizimele lidlulisela izindleko zokuzitika kwawo okundiza kakhulu kithina sonke,” kusho omunye umbhali wombiko uRobert Weissman, umqondisi we-Essential Action. “Bangcolisa ngaphezu kwabagibeli bezindiza zezentengiselwano, kodwa abakhokhi. Abakhokhi ingxenye efanelekile yezindleko zabo zokulawula ukuhamba kwezindiza. Futhi basebenzise ikhodi yentela ngakho-ke sonke sixhasa izindleko zokuthenga indiza yangasese.”
Ngokombiko, abahambi bezindiza ezizimele bakhokha izintela nezinkokhelo eziphansi kunezihambi ezivamile zezentengiselwano, nakuba lezi zokuthutha eziphakeme zishisa ikhabhoni ephindwe kahlanu kunezindiza zezentengiselwano.
Kulo nyaka, indawo yokwamukela ijethi yangasese iwine elinye ikhefu lentela elikhethekile labathengi bezindiza ezintsha njengengxenye yoMthetho Wokuvuselela Umnotho ka-2008. Ochwepheshe babikezela ukuthi lokhu ngeke kusize ekuqaliseni umnotho, futhi kungase kubhebhethekise ukufudumala komhlaba.
Izikhulu zezinkampani zakha umgogodla wamakhasimende embonini yezindiza ezizimele. “Kuyinjwayelo kulezi zinsuku ukuthi amabhodi ezinkampani ezinkulu afune ukuthi abaphathi bama-CEO basebenzise izindiza ezizimele kukho konke ukuhamba, okuhlanganisa namaholidi omuntu siqu,” kuchaza omunye umbhali wombiko uSarah Anderson, i-Institute for Policy Studies uzakwethu. "Bathi lokhu kuyadingeka ngenxa yezizathu zokuphepha, kodwa lezi zinzuzo ziyisibonelo esisodwa sokweqisa kwezikhulu."
Amaflaya azimele awekho ngaphansi kwemithetho yezokuphepha esebenza kubahambi bezentengiselwano, ingozi uMnyango Wezokuphepha Kwasekhaya oyivumayo ukuthi ayizange ixazululwe cishe eminyakeni eyisikhombisa ngemuva komhla ka-9/11.
Umbiko we-High Flyers ugxeka ukungasebenzi kukahulumeni ekulawuleni ijethi yangasese egcwele igesi, egcwele isibhakabhaka, kanye namaFlyers acebe kakhulu abalekela imikhawulo yezokuphepha, izindleko zekhabhoni, nezintela.
“Ukwanda okusheshayo kohambo lwezindiza ezizimele kuhambisane nokungalingani kwemali engenayo nengcebo ezweni lethu. Kule minyaka engamashumi amabili edlule, ukukhula okuningi kwemali engenayo kanye nempahla kugeleze kwafinyelela emindenini ecebe kakhulu - futhi phakathi kwalokho, ingxenye eyodwa kweshumi ephezulu yephesenti elilodwa," kusho umbiko. "Ukwanda kokuhamba ngendiza yangasese kuwuphawu lwalokhu kungalingani okwedlulele ... Ukungalingani okudingeka kulungiswe uma sizokwakha kabusha umnotho osebenzela abantu baseMelika abasebenzayo."
Umbiko uncoma ukuthi kubekwe “intela kanokusho” kumajethi azimele kanye nokulungisa uhlaka loxhaso lwe-FAA ukuze kudinge ukuthi izindiza ezizimele zikhokhe ingxenye yazo yezindleko. Ababhali bacela iCongress ukuthi iqinise izidingo zokuphepha kumajethi angasese. Lo mbiko uphakamisa ukuthi uxhaso lukahulumeni oluchithwe ukulungisa izikhumulo zezindiza ezincane ezisebenzela kakhulu amajethi azimele lungatshalwa kangcono kuloliwe ohamba ngesivinini esikhulu esikhundleni sokuhamba ngendiza isikhashana.
