IWashington DC, nge-1 kaJulayi 2025— Emva kwengxoxo ende ethathe phantse iiyure ezingama-24, iSenate yase-US ipasise umthetho wokunciphisa irhafu kunye nokuchithwa kwemali kaMongameli wangaphambili uDonald Trump—owawubizwa ngokusemthethweni ngokuba yi-Umthetho Omkhulu Nomhle—ngomlinganiselo omncinci kakhulu. Lo mthetho, ophinda izithembiso ezininzi zikaTrump ezibalulekileyo zomkhankaso wonyaka ophelileyo, ngoku ubuyela kwiNdlu ukuze kuxoxwe ngakumbi ngawo.
Umthetho osayilwayo upasisiwe njeivoti enye eseleyo, nto leyo egxininisa ukwahlukana okukhulu ngaphakathi kwiCongress malunga nobukhulu bomthetho, ububanzi bawo, kunye nefuthe lawo kwezoqoqosho.
"Wonke umntu ufumana into ethile" — Kodwa ngexabiso elingakanani?
Ngelixa ebhiyozela uloyiso lweSenate ngexesha lokutyelela kwiziko lokugcina abantu abafudukela eFlorida, uTrump wathi,"Lo ngumthetho olungileyo. Wonke umntu uyaphumelela."
Kodwa ngasese, abenzi bomthetho benze izivumelwano ezininzi ngomzuzu wokugqibela ukuze baphumelele amavoti. USenator Lisa Murkowski waseAlaska, owayenenkxaso ebalulekileyo, uvumile ukuba ufumene izibonelelo ezilungele ilizwe lakhe—kodwa wahlala ekhathazekile malunga nenkqubo ekhawulezileyo.
“Oku bekukhawuleze kakhulu,” uxelele iintatheli emva kwevoti.
"Ndiyathemba ukuba iNdlu yoWiso-mthetho iza kuyijonga nzulu le bhili ize iqonde ukuba asikafiki apho."
Yintoni ekwi-Big and Beautiful Act?
Inguqulelo yeSenate yalo mthetho ibandakanya iintsika ezininzi eziphambili zomgaqo-nkqubo:
-
Iyandiswa ngokusisigxinaukuncitshiswa kwerhafu ngexesha likaTrump kwiinkampani nakubantu ngabanye.
-
Ibeka imali eyi-$70 yezigidigidiukwandisa ukunyanzeliswa komthetho wokufuduka kunye nokhuseleko lwemida.
-
Inyuka ngokuphawulekayoinkcitho yokhuselo.
-
Ukunciphisa imalikwiinkqubo zemozulu kunye neMedicaid (inkqubo ye-inshurensi yezempilo karhulumente yabantu baseMelika abanengeniso ephantsi).
-
Inyusa umgangatho wetyalange-$5 trillion, apho kulindeleke ukuba ityala likarhulumente linyuke lidlule i-$3 trillion.
Ezi migaqo zigqithisileyo zibangele ukugxekwa kuzo zonke iinkalo zezopolitiko.
Iingxaki ze-GOP zangaphakathi ziyanda
INdlu yayisele ipasise inguqulelo yayo yomthetho, isivumelwano esenziwe ngobuchule esingawadibanisanga kakuhle amaphiko eqela athanda inkululeko, aphakathi, kunye najolise kukhuselo. Ngoku, inguqulelo eguqulweyo yeSenate inokuyiphazamisa loo bhalansi ibuthathaka.
Abantu abagcina imali, ingakumbi abo bakwi-Ikhokhasi yeNkululeko yeNdlu, baphakamise isilumkiso. Kwingxelo yeendaba zoluntu, eli qela lithe inguqulelo yeSenate iza kongezaI-$650 yezigidigidi ngonyakakwi-federal deficit, ukuyibiza ngokuba"Asikuko isivumelwano esasivumelene ngaso."
Okwangoku, abasemagunyeni bavakalise inkxalabo malunga nokuncitshiswa kweenkqubo zeMedicaid kunye nezokusingqongileyo, besoyika ukuba abantu baphinde bagxekwe kwizithili zabo.
Ilifa likaTrump kunye noxinzelelo lwe-GOP
Nangona kukho impikiswano, amalungu ePalamente ajongene noxinzelelo olukhulu oluvela kuTrump ngokwakhe. Lo mongameli wangaphambili ubonakalise lo mthetho njengesiseko selifa lakhe kwezopolitiko—utshintsho lwemigaqo-nkqubo yexesha elide oluyilelwe ukuhlala ixesha elide kunoorhulumente bexesha elizayo.
“Oku akukokuphumelela nje okwangoku,” utshilo uTrump,
"Olu lutshintsho olubalulekileyo olungenakuhlengahlengiswa lula ngumongameli wexesha elizayo."
Ukuphunyezwa kwalo mthetho kuya kuphawula uloyiso olukhulu kwi-GOP ngaphambi konyulo lwaphakathi lwexesha lika-2026, kodwa kunokuveza iingxabano ezinkulu ngaphakathi kweqela.
Yintoni elandelayo?
Ukuba iNdlu iyayivuma inguqulelo yeSenethi—mhlawumbi ngoLwesithathu—umthetho uya kuya kwidesika kamongameli ukuze utyikitywe. Kodwa amaRiphabliki amaninzi ayaxhalaba. Umngeni uza kuba kukudibanisa ukwahlukana kweengcinga ngaphandle kokuphazamisa amandla omthetho.
Nokuba isiphelo sayo sinjani na,Umthetho Omkhulu Nomhlesele iyinto ephambili kwidabi lezemali nezopolitiko laseMelika—lithetha ngotshintsho lwerhafu, ukufuduka kwabantu, inkcitho yezokhuselo, kunye nokuzinza kwemali karhulumente wesizwe ixesha elide.
