Былое величие Америки [заметки]

Примечания

1

Ежегодный турнир Национальной ассоциации студенческого спорта (NCAA) спорит за право считаться чемпионом страны. В Америке его называют «мартовским безумием», хоть финальные стадии турнира и заползают на апрель. Почти все взрослое население страны в той или иной мере занято составлением прогнозов – это называется «заполнить сетку». Барак Обама, очень уважающий баскетбол, свою «сетку» составляет в прямом эфире на канале ESPN. – Прим. ред.

2

Medicaid – государственная программа медицинской помощи нуждающимся. Осуществляется на уровне штатов при поддержке федеральных властей. Медицинская помощь оказывается лицам, имеющим доход ниже официальной черты бедности. Учреждена согласно закону Керра – Миллса 1960 г., вступила в действие в 1965.

3

Люди, родившиеся с 1945 по 1964 год.

4

Medicare – одна из федеральных программ медицинского страхования для населения старшего возраста (старше 65 лет). Учреждена в 1965 году. С 1972 года программа также обслуживает инвалидов. Она состоит из двух основных частей: часть А (больничное страхование: оплата больничных услуг и некоторых форм домашнего ухода); часть Б (дополнительное медицинское страхование: оплата посещений врача, амбулаторных услуг и услуг независимых лабораторий). В отличие от обязательного больничного страхования дополнительное страхование производится на добровольной основе.

5

«60 минут» (англ. 60 Minutes) – американское общественно-политическое телешоу, созданное Дональдом Хьюиттом (англ.) и транслируемое каналом CBS с 1968 года. Согласно составленному журналом TV Guide в мае 2002 года списку пятидесяти величайших телешоу всех времен, «60 минут» занимало 6-е место. По версии газеты The New York Times, шоу является одним из самых почитаемых общественно-политических на американском телевидении.

6

То есть республиканская партия США.

7

Бойцы Сил специальных операций ВМФ США. Название «котики» происходит от аббревиатуры SEAL (Sea, Air and Land), означающей условия, в которых работают эти бойцы, и совпадающей с английским словом seal (морской котик).

8

В оригинале именно ultra right-wing. Видимо, это ирония Трампа.

9

Полное название этой группировки – Харакат аш-Шабаб аль-Муджахидин (Аль-Шабаб, Хизбул Шабааб (араб. – «Молодежное движение моджахедов»), Народное Движение Сопротивления в Стране Двух Государств.

10

Иногда в названии этого ведомства опускают слово «внутренней».

11

В названии закона заложена игра английского слова dream (мечта) и аббревиатуры Development, Relief, and Education of Alien Minors, которой назван законопроект, впервые внесенный в Конгресс в 2001 году сенатором-демократом Диком Дурбином и сенатором-республиканцем Оррином Хэтчем и повторно внесенный в 2009 году двухпартийной группой сенаторов и конгрессменов. В настоящее время законопроект пользуется поддержкой более чем 100 членов палаты представителей и 39 сенаторов.

12

Тимоти («Тим») Рассерт (1950–2008) – телеведущий программы Meet the Press, которую позднее назвали Meet the Press with Tim Rassert. Прославился прогнозами результатов выборов и введением в оборот термина «красные штаты» и «синие штаты».

13

Карл Кристиан Роув – американский консервативный политик, занимавший пост старшего советника и заместителя главы администрации в аппарате бывшего президента США Джорджа Буша-младшего, своего рода «серый кардинал» республиканской партии.

14

Организация, мобилизующая средства для поддержки кандидатов, которые поддерживают определенную политическую программу. В данном случае речь идет о кандидатах-республиканцах.

15

Радиоведущий, которого неоднократно отлучали от эфира за грубые расистские и сексистские высказывания.

16

Альфред Чарльз «Эл» Шарптон (род. 1954) – американский баптистский священник, активный участник движения за гражданские права, ведуший радио– и телешоу, с 2011 года ведет вечернее шоу PoliticsNation на канале MSNBC. Считается радикалом. В 1971 году создал общественную организацию National Youth Movement (Национальное движение молодежи), в 1991 году – National Action Network (Национальная сеть действия). Один из доверенных лиц Барака Обамы, обеспечивающий связь президента с афроамериканцами. Шарптона часто осуждают за антисемитизм и провоцирование обострения межрасовых отношений.

17
