IWashington DC, Julayi 1, 2025— Ngemva kwempikiswano ecishe ibe amahora angama-24, iSenate yase-US yaphasisa umthethosivivinywa wokunciphisa intela kanye nokusetshenziswa kwemali kaMengameli wangaphambilini uDonald Trump—owawubizwa ngokusemthethweni ngokuthiIsenzo Esikhulu Nesihle—ngomkhawulo omncane kakhulu. Lo mthetho, ophinda izithembiso eziningi zikaTrump eziyinhloko zomkhankaso wakhe zonyaka odlule, manje ubuyela eNdlu ukuze kuxoxwe kabanzi ngawo.
Umthethosivivinywa udlulile njeivoti elilodwa elisele, okugcizelela ukuhlukana okukhulu ngaphakathi kweCongress mayelana nobukhulu bomthethosivivinywa, ububanzi, kanye nomthelela ongaba khona kwezomnotho.
“Wonke Umuntu Uthola Okuthile” — Kodwa Ngaziphi Izindleko?
Ngesikhathi egubha ukunqoba kweSenate ngesikhathi evakashele isikhungo sokuboshwa kwabokufika eFlorida, uTrump wamemezela,"Lona umthethosivivinywa omuhle kakhulu. Wonke umuntu uyawina."
Kodwa ngasese, abenzi bomthetho benze izinqumo eziningi ngomzuzu wokugcina ukuze bawine amavoti. USenator Lisa Murkowski wase-Alaska, okusekelwa kwakhe kwakubalulekile, uvumile ukuthi uthole imibandela evumelana nombuso wakhe—kodwa wahlala ekhathazekile ngenqubo ephuthumayo.
“Lokhu bekushesha kakhulu,” etshela izintatheli ngemuva kokuvota.
"Ngithemba ukuthi iNdlu izowubheka ngokucophelela lo mthethosivivinywa futhi ibone ukuthi asikafiki lapho."
Yini ekhona ku-Big and Beautiful Act?
Inguqulo yeSenate yalo mthethosivivinywa ihlanganisa izinsika eziningana ezinkulu zenqubomgomo:
-
Inwebeka unomphelaukwehliswa kwentela ngesikhathi sikaTrump kokubili izinkampani kanye nabantu ngabanye.
-
Ihlukanise amaRandi ayizigidigidi ezingama-70ukwandisa ukuphoqelelwa kokufuduka kanye nokuphepha kwemingcele.
-
Kukhula kakhuluukusetshenziswa kwemali kwezokuvikela.
-
Ukunciphisa uxhasokwezinhlelo zesimo sezulu kanye ne-Medicaid (uhlelo lomshuwalense wezempilo lukahulumeni lwabantu baseMelika abahola kancane).
-
Kukhuphula izinga lesikweletungama-dollar ayizigidigidi ezi-5, kanti isikweletu sikahulumeni esibikezelwe sikhuphuke ngaphezu kwama-dollar ayizigidigidi ezi-3.
Lezi zinqumo ezinkulu zibangele ukugxekwa kuzo zonke izinhlobo zezepolitiki.
Ukungezwani Kwangaphakathi Kwe-GOP Kuyanda
INdlu yayidlulise inguqulo yayo yomthethosivivinywa ngaphambilini, isivumelwano esenziwe ngobuciko esingahlanganisanga kahle amaphiko eqembu alwela inkululeko, alinganiselayo, kanye nagxile ekuvikeleni. Manje, inguqulo eguquliwe yeSenate ingaphazamisa lokho kulinganisela okubuthakathaka.
Abalondolozi bezimali, ikakhulukazi labo abase-I-House Freedom Caucus, baphakamise izikhalazo. Esitatimendeni sezokuxhumana, leli qembu lathi inguqulo yeSenate izokwengezaAmaRandi ayizigidigidi ezingama-650 ngonyakaekulahlekelweni kwemali kahulumeni, ukuyibiza ngokuthi"akusiyo isivumelwano esivumelene ngaso."
Okwamanje, abantu abaphakathi baye bazwakalisa ukukhathazeka ngokuncishiswa kwezinhlelo ze-Medicaid kanye nezemvelo, besaba ukusabela okubi ezifundeni zabo.
Ifa likaTrump kanye nokucindezelwa yi-GOP
Naphezu kwempikiswano, amalungu ePhalamende lamaRiphabhulikhi abhekene nengcindezi enkulu evela kuTrump uqobo. Lo mongameli wangaphambilini uqambe lo mthetho njengesisekelo sefa lakhe lezepolitiki—ukuguqulwa kwenqubomgomo yesikhathi eside okuklanyelwe ukuhlala isikhathi eside kunemibuso yesikhathi esizayo.
“Lokhu akusikho ukunqoba nje okwamanje,” kusho uTrump,
"Lolu ushintsho oluhlelekile okungekho mongameli wesikhathi esizayo ongaluqeda kalula."
Ukwemukelwa kwalo mthethosivivinywa kuzophawula ukunqoba okukhulu kwesishayamthetho kwe-GOP ngaphambi kokhetho lwaphakathi nonyaka ka-2026, kodwa kungaveza nokuqhekeka okukhulu ngaphakathi kweqembu.
Yini Okulandelayo?
Uma iNdlu ivuma inguqulo yeSenate—mhlawumbe ngoLwesithathu—umthetho uzoya edeskini likamongameli ukuze usayinwe. Kodwa amaRiphabliki amaningi ayaqaphela. Inselele izoba ukubuyisana kokwahlukana ngokwemibono ngaphandle kokuphazamisa umfutho womthethosivivinywa.
Kungakhathaliseki ukuthi isiphetho sayo sokugcina siyini,Isenzo Esikhulu Nesihlesekuvele kube yindawo ebucayi empini ebanzi yezezimali neyezepolitiki yaseMelika—ethinta ukuguqulwa kwentela, ukufuduka kwabantu, ukusetshenziswa kwemali yezokuvikela, kanye nokuzinza kwezezimali kukahulumeni wobumbano isikhathi eside.
