Ua ʻōlelo pinepine ʻia ʻo ka noʻonoʻo maʻamau ka mea liʻiliʻi loa o ka naʻau. A ma ka nana aku i na mea a kakou e ike nei i keia mau mahina i hala iho nei, ua maopopo ka oiaio. No ka mea i ka manawa o ka pilikia hoʻokele waiwai e like me ka mea a ko mākou ʻāina e ʻike nei, me nā miliona o nā ʻohana i hiki ʻole ke hoʻopiha i ka pahu hau a i ʻole e hoʻāla i ka wela, ʻo ka hoʻohaʻahaʻa ʻana i nā ʻauhau e hoʻēmi iki iā lākou ua ʻike ʻia he mea lapuwale, he mea hiki ʻole ke hoʻomaopopo.
ʻO nā kumu like ʻole, ke olakino a me ka hoʻonaʻauao, ʻoiai he ʻāpana liʻiliʻi lākou o ka General State Budget, i hoʻolaha mua ʻia no kēia makahiki. Loaʻa nā pāʻani me ka nui o ke kaumaha, kahi i nui ai nā kānalua e pili ana i ka pono o kona ola ʻana, e like me ke kaulike. A ma luna o kēlā, i loko o ka makahiki kahi i hōʻailona ai ka hōʻiliʻili i kahi helu moʻohelu piha (ma muli o ka hoʻonui ʻana), ʻo ia ka palena o ka ʻauhau no ka ʻoki ʻauhau.
ʻO kekahi o nā kumu i hoʻohana nui ʻia i kēia lā, ʻo ia ka dichotomy waiwai-ʻilihune, kahi e like me kā mākou i ʻōlelo ai i nā manawa ʻē aʻe, ʻo ka pā no ka 'waiwai', ʻoi aku ka nui o kā lākou makemake e hoʻolilo, ʻoi aku ko lākou hoʻohaʻahaʻa ʻana, a hiki i ka pau ʻana o ka waiwai. ʻo ʻoe. No ka mea, manaʻo mau ke aliʻi he liʻiliʻi kāna hoʻolimalima a loaʻa iā ʻoe ka nui. ʻAʻole ʻae lākou i ka mea e hoʻopā ai i nā ʻauhau, no ka mea, ʻo ka ʻauhau aberrational a i ʻole nā ʻauhau hoʻoilina (ʻauhau make), ʻo nā waiwai ʻauhau i uku ʻia ai nā ʻauhau, ʻo lākou ka mea i hao nui loa mai 'ka waiwai' . Akā ma kekahi ʻaoʻao, i kekahi mau pule i hala aku nei ua hoʻohaʻahaʻa ʻia ka VAT o ka meaʻai, ka mea i ʻike i ka pā nui ʻana o kāna kumukūʻai i nā mahina i hala aku nei, a ʻaʻole maikaʻi nā hoaaloha o ka lehulehu. ʻAʻole ʻae lākou i ka ʻōlelo ʻana e hele mai ka poʻe waiwai, poina loa ʻo ka pākēneka o ka loaʻa kālā a ka ʻohana haʻahaʻa e hāʻawi ai i ka meaʻai, ʻoi aku ka kiʻekiʻe ma mua o ka pākēneka o ka loaʻa kālā a ka ʻohana waiwai e hoʻokaʻawale. ʻOi aku ka wehewehe ʻana i kēlā mau keneta 20 ma ka ʻaila, kahi e komo ai i loko o kahi Porsche 911, ma mua o kahi noho mai 20 mau makahiki i hala.
ʻO ke kumu nui hope loa a ka poʻe socialists a me nā collectivists ʻē aʻe e hoʻomau i ka komo ʻana i loko o kā mākou ʻeke, ʻo ia kekahi o nā hui supranational o ka hanohano (IMF, OECD, EU...) pale i nā ʻauhau. Me he mea lā ʻaʻole hiki iā mākou ke ʻike i ka paio o ka makemake e loaʻa kālā kēia mau ʻoihana ma o ka ʻeke kālā. Pehea la e makemake ole ai lakou i ka auhau hou aku, ke hilinai ko lakou uku nui ia lakou?
E like me kā mākou i ʻōlelo ai ma mua, ʻaʻole i loaʻa ka puke wehewehe ʻōlelo waiwai-ʻilihune. ʻO kēlā mau huaʻōlelo "e uku ka poʻe waiwai" ʻo ia wale nō, nā slogans. Aia ma kahi e noho ai ka kaʻawale ʻohana me ka mokuʻāina, a ma laila ka mokuʻāina ʻaʻole e uku. I nā pilikia a pau, ʻaʻole ia he mea nui i ka makahiki 2008, ʻo ka Covid... ʻo nā ʻohana ka mea e hoʻopaʻa i ko lākou kāʻei, ʻoiai ʻaʻole hoʻōki ke Aupuni i ka hoʻolilo nui ʻana a hoʻokomo iā mākou i ka aie. ʻAʻole ʻōlelo ka poʻe kālai'āina "e emi ana mākou i mea e loaʻa ai iā ʻoe ka nui". ʻO ka pākēneka o ka hoʻokele waiwai i mālama ʻole ʻia e ka Mokuʻāina e paʻa ʻia e nā ʻohana, ʻoi aku ka nui o ka lehulehu, ʻoi aku ka liʻiliʻi o ka pilikino, maʻalahi ka helu.
E pale kākou i nā ʻohana, e pale aku i nā hui, e hakakā no ka poʻe hana ponoʻī, no ka ʻoihana kūʻokoʻa. E kāʻili kākou i ka mea waiwai wale nō e noho nei, ʻo ke aupuni!
