UMongameli u-Obama ubize abaholi bekhongolose engqungqutheleni yangoLwesihlanu eWhite House emzamweni wokugcina wokuvikela abakhokhi bentela, abasebenzi abangasebenzi kanye nokululama okuntekenteke kwe-US ezindleleni ezinzima zokunciphisa izindleko ezizofika ezinsukwini ezine nje.
NgoLwesine futhi, uSomlomo weNdlu uJohn A. Boehner (R-Ohio) umemezele ukuthi uzobiza iNdlu ukuthi iphinde iqale ukusebenza kule mpelasonto. Futhi mhlawumbe entuthukweni ebaluleke kakhulu, uMholi weSenate Minerals u-Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) okokuqala ngqa waba nezingxoxo ne-White House. Wabonisa intshisekelo yokunqamula isivumelwano.Qala lapha ukuze uthole incazelo yamagama ama-wonky nezindaba ezibalulekile enkingeni yezimali ezayo.
Abasizi baxwayise nokho ukuthi isinyathelo esisheshayo sizodinga ukuthi abaholi kuwo womabili la magumbi bahlangane ngokuqinile eqoqweni elithile leziphakamiso.
Inketho eyodwa engase izuze ukwesekwa okubanzi, abasizi beRepublican bathi, ukuvumela izintela ukuthi zikhuphuke emalini engenayo yendlu engaphezu kuka-$400,000 ngonyaka - isithembiso sakamuva sika-Obama ezingxoxweni noBoehner - esikhundleni somkhawulo ophansi wama-$250,000 ngonyaka, njengoba u-Obama ahlongoza ngesikhathi sikamongameli. umkhankaso.
Esidlangalaleni, bekungekho zimpawu zokuncibilika okunjalo ngoLwesine. Esikhundleni salokho, umuzwa wokugcwala wagcwala iCapitol. Umholi weSenate Majority u-Harry M. Reid (D-Nev.) ucabange ngokusobala esitezi seSenate ukuthi angeke sisaba khona isikhathi sokugwema imali engaphezu kwezigidi eziyizinkulungwane ezingu-500 zamaRandi ekukhushulweni kwentela kanye nokuncishiswa kwezindleko okuhlelelwe ukusebenza ngesonto elizayo.
Ukulungiselela lokho okungenzeka, iqembu ngalinye lenze imizamo yalo yokususa icala, ligcizelela ukuthi elinye kumele lithathe isinyathelo kuqala.
U-Reid unxuse iNdlu ukuthi ithathe umthethosivivinywa “wokuphunyuka” owamukelwa yiSenethi ngoJulayi ozonqanda imiphumela emibi kakhulu yezomnotho yaleliwa ngokwelula ikhefu lentela elamukelwa ngaphansi kukaMongameli uGeorge W. Bush ukuze uthole imali engaphansi kuka-$250,000.
Usole ukuthi uBoehner uqhuba “ubushiqela” eNdlu, enqaba ukuveza lo mthetho ngoba ungase uphasise ngokwesekwa okubanzi kweDemocratic Alliance kanye nedlanzana lamavoti eRiphabhulikhi.
"Akukho okungaqhubekela phambili maqondana nenkinga yesabelomali sethu ngaphandle uma uSomlomo u-Boehner kanye noMholi uMcConnell bezimisele ukubamba iqhaza ekuqhamukeni nohlelo lwezinhlangothi ezimbili," kusho uReid. "Kuze kube manje, abakhulumi ngomsakazo."
UMcConnell uphendule ngokuthi amaRepublicans abemagange ukusebenzisana no-Obama. Ngemuva kokuthi izingxoxo zomuntu oyedwa phakathi kuka-Obama noBoehner zihlulekile ukukhiqiza iphakethe elibanzi lokunciphisa imali eshodayo ngesonto eledlule, uMcConnell uthe manje sekuwumthwalo kamongameli ukubeka phambili uhlelo olusha.
"AmaRiphabhlikhi agobe emuva," esho. “Besifuna isivumelwano. Kodwa sasingenabo abasithathayo. Ucingo aluzange lukhale.”
UMcConnell uthe umthethosivivinywa weSenethi bekungeyona inketho esebenzisekayo ngoba uvunywe ngamavoti eDemokhrasi kuphela nangenxa yokuthi izindlela ezithinta imali engenayo zifunwa uMthethosisekelo ukuthi ziqhamuke eNdlu.
U-Boehner uphinde watshela abenzi bomthetho baseRiphabhlikhi ocingweni lwengqungquthela ukuthi iSenethi kumele ithathe isinyathelo kuqala. Uthe iSenethi kufanele lithathe futhi lichibiyele umthethosivivinywa owaphasiswa ama-House Republicans ngo-Agasti ukuze welule ikhefu lentela kubantu baseMelika kuwo wonke amazinga emali engenayo kanye nomunye ogunyazwe ngoMeyi ozosusa ukuncishiswa kwezindleko zamasosha ebekelwe inyanga ezayo ezinhlelweni zasekhaya.
Umlayezo kaBoehner wawuwukuthi “sasizolinda iSigele ukuba siwuthathele umthethosivivinywa esiwuphasise ezinyangeni eziyisithupha ezedlule,” kusho omunye ummeli waseRiphabhulikhi owayesocingweni. "Yeka ukuzama ukwenza le nto yokuxoxisana ngobuholi."
Lolu suku belugcwele amahemuhemu okunyakaza ngemuva kwezigcawu, ubufakazi bamandla okukhathazeka abambe iWashington njengoba umnqamulajuqu usondela.
Umzuliswano wokuqala wenjabulo wafika ngesikhathi uMcConnell ethumela i-imeyili kumalungu ePhalamende ephakamisa ukuthi u-Obama "uzogcina ehlongoza iphakethe lokugwema iwa futhi ngavuma ukulibuyekeza," ngokwekhophi ye-imeyili enikezwe i-The Washington Post.
USen. Scott Brown (R-Mass.) uthumele inothi ekhasini lakhe le-Facebook ememezela lesi sipho esisalindile, futhi abezindaba abaphithizelayo bafuna imininingwane.
Izikhulu ze-White House kanye ne-Senate Democrats zikuphikile ukuthi isiphakamiso esisha siyeza. Kepha uMcConnell uqhubekile nokugcizelela usuku lonke ukuthi ubemagange ukubuyekeza lesi sipho esisha. Ekugcineni, zombili izinhlangothi zikuqinisekisile ukuthi izingxoxo ezithule beziqhubeka phakathi kwabasizi bakaMcConnell nezikhulu eziphezulu zeWhite House, kodwa imininingwane ibilokhu ishintshashintsha.
Ububanzi baleli phakethe okuxoxwa ngalo bubonakale bulandela izindlela ezibekwe ngu-Obama ngoLwesihlanu engqungqutheleni yezindaba lapho enxuse iCongress ukuthi yelule ukwehliswa kwentela okuphelelwa yisikhathi kumaphesenti angama-98 abakhokhi bentela futhi kugcinwe imihlomulo igeleza ifinyelele cishe ezigidini ezi-2 zabantu abangasebenzi isikhathi eside. Ngaphezu kwalokho, abasizi bathe, izingxoxo bezigxile ekulondolozeni amanani entela aphansi ezindawo ezizuzwe njengefa kanye nokwelulwa kwekhefu lentela lokufunda ekolishi kanye nabampofu abasebenza njengengxenye yephakethe lika-Obama lokuvuselela umnotho ka-2009.
Kepha abasizi bathe kungenzeka ukuthi sesiphelile isikhathi sesivumelwano sokuncishiswa kwezindleko ezinkulu noma ukwenyusa umkhawulo osemthethweni wokubolekwa kukahulumeni, okuzofanele kwenziwe phakathi nezinyanga ezimbili ezizayo. Futhi ngoLwesine ngasekupheleni kwe-hang-up kwavela: AmaRiphabhulikhi ayefuna ukuvikela odokotela ekunciphiseni okuhleliwe kwezinkokhelo ze-Medicare, kodwa babefuna ukukhokhela izindleko ngokuqeda isikhwama esisha sokuvimbela esigqugquzelwa nguSeni. Tom Harkin (D-Iowa), usihlalo we iKomidi Lezempilo, Ezemfundo, Ezabasebenzi kanye Nezimpesheni.
Ngaphandle komsebenzi ongemuva kwesigcawu, abanye babambisene nabo abasondelene kakhulu noMcConnell babikezele ukuthi sincane isikhathi sokuvala isivumelwano sesikhashana futhi bathi uhlangothi ngalunye luzama ukusola elinye.
"Yonke sekuyimidlalo yeshashalazi manje," uSen. John Cornyn (R-Tex.), isekela lesikhulu elingenayo likaMcConnell, etshela izintatheli.
Izimakethe zezimali zeJittery zahlukunyezwa ngamahemuhemu usuku lonke, kanti isilinganiso sezimboni ze-Dow Jones sehle cishe ngamaphuzu ayi-100 emizuzwini engama-30 ngemuva kokuba uReid ebize iSigele ngo-10 ekuseni ngokuhlolwa okude kwezingxoxo. Ngenkathi kuvela imibiko yokuthi u-Boehner ubiza iNdlu ukuthi ibuyele esimisweni sangeSonto kusihlwa, inkomba ikhuphuke ngamaphuzu angaphezu kwe-100, nakuba isinqumo sikasomlomo singameleli isizathu esiqinisekile sethemba. Inkomba ivale amaphuzu anesizotha ayi-18, iseshini yesihlanu ezinsukwini eziyisithupha ezedlule iwile.
NgoLwesine bekuwusuku izizukulwane zabashayamthetho ebezifuna ukulugwema. Kusukela ngeminyaka yawo-1930s - lapho ukuchitshiyelwa koMthethosisekelo kwanquma ukuthi izikhathi zekhongolose zizophela ngemva koSuku LukaNcibijane - kube umgomo wezinhlangothi ezimbili ukuthi uhambe ngaphambi kukaKhisimusi futhi ungabuyi. Kube namaseshini amane kuphela adlule omsebenzi wangemva kukaKhisimusi. Okubili kwabangelwa iMpi Yezwe II, enye yayihlobene nokuvalwa kukahulumeni ngo-1995, kanti enye yabangelwa ukulwa kwesabelomali ngo-1963.
