(Chinchiah: US cozah deficit hi 2016 in 2019 tiang hi a karh chin lengmang. YF 2019 ahcun US deficit hi $1.09 trillion tiang a kai cang. USA sipuazi tlak tuk lio i, bank le motor company hna cozah nih an tlanh lio caan tluk deng in deficit a karh) 

A tu lio U.S. budget zaat lo mi hi karh chinchin i, $984 billion phan. Cucu U.S ram GDP dihlak i 4.6% a si cang. 2018 deficit cu $779 billion a si i, cu kum GDP hmuhmi dihlak I 3.8% lawng a si. 2012 in U.S cozah tangka chamhbau bik kum a si tiah an ti.

Hmailei ah phan ding a si maw?

Tax cut tuahnak ruangah deficit piahmi hi cu a cheu nih cun pumpak, chungkhar le company ah tangka tam deuh a luh caah, cu nih cun hram ah an chiah lai i, caan sau ahcun ram sipuazi a thatter lai tiah an ruah. A cheu nih cun US hi a leiba a tam chin lengmang ahcun sipuazi a tla lai ti an phang. Cucaah Tea Party timi zong an chuahnak a si. GOP nih cozah tangka hmanning le leiba hi biapi ah an chia lo ti in a thinhung i, Republican Party in a chuakmi an si. 

US cozah nih tangka a cawimi hna bank le ram hna nih cun, "US nih a kan cham kho lai lo" timi an phang ve. Raltuk awk le a tha ding a si fawn lo. US nih caan sau tuk bak ahcun hmailei ah kan sung thai sual lai timi an phang. US nih ram dang ah tambik leiba a ngeihnak ram hna cu, Tuluk le Japan an si. Ram fatete zong ah tam ngai a ba. Greece ram zong a leiba a tam tuk. Tangka hman awk an rak ngei ti lo i, mipi lam an zul. Buainak an rak chuahpi I, an cozah a rak tlu dengmang. EU um hna hlah sehlaw an rak lo kho men. USA zong hi, deficit a tam tuk ahcun, harnak fak taktak a chuak lai lo ti khawh a si lo. 

USA ummi vialte kan rian cio a si

Kan umnak USA hi, a leiba a tam tuk ve caah, hihi kan i pehtlai lo ti in kan um awk a si lo. Deficit a zornak ding hi kan rian cio a si. 

Abik in food stamp, tangka, medicaid le rian ngeilomi bawmhnak tibantuk hna a hmumi cu, pehtlaih ciate a si. Cucaah USA i kan um tikah, tax hna hi hman tein pek ve ding kan si. Tax kan pek tik ah zai ding a si lo. Kan hmuhmi chung cio in pek a si ko. Cun cozah kan bawm ve timi ruah a herh. Cozah sin tax pekmi hna hi, a tam deuh cu kan mah mipi ca lila ah a hmanmi a si. Asi khomi nih cun, food stamp le tangka bawmhnak hna sawk ding a si lo. Asi khomi cu cozah bochan lo tein nun cio a herh. Medicaid zong in a si kho mi cu chuah le company ah cawk cio hi cozah kan bawmh ve a si caah, a thami a si. A zeizong kong ah, cozah sin in hmanlomi lih chim in food stamp le Medicaid bawmhnak hna hi, sawk lo tein um ahcun cozah kan bawmh cio a si ding a si.

Cozah a bawmtu kan si khawhlo hmanh ah, a sunghbautertu le a eihmuartu zumtu Krihfa kan si lo ding hi a biapi tuk. Pastor zong si u sih, mipi zong si u sih, Krihfabu zong si u sih, pastor le riantuantu thlahlawh hna hi, tha tein tuah ve le tax tha tein pek ve hi a herh. Sushi tuahmi zong nih, a miak tampi hmuh a si bantuk in tax hi tampi tun ve ding a si. Cuti kan tuah lawng ah, USA cozah zong hi a leiba a zor lai i, kan techin fapar chan caah thil tha a um kho lai. Atu ning tein a kal peng ko ahcun hmailei ah USA cozahpi hi zeitindah a si te lai timi hi, ruah chung awk a har ngai cang!
