GreyLaw: You can make your point without abuse. Also, furniture repairs cost about 70 billion. Before the subsidy went, we were spending 400 billion MONTHLY...note monthly...at least on it. Using the furniture money on subsidy would have lasted all of a week, if not less. Infact, subsidy costs had gotten so bad this year that if we threw in the entire National Assembly budget of 228 billion in for subsides, it would have at best paid for two weeks worth. The problem with subsidy is that it is a monster...that needs twice as much food as it needed yesterday, and will need five times more than it needs now tomorrow. And yes, I agree that our senators are greedy people, and that the National Assembly votes too much money to itself (it;s the way our democracy was set up, and the alternative is to hand power over finances for the National Assembly to the President, who would use it to make the NA even more of a rubber stamp...sigh). But at the end, we are in a hard situation. Thanks to years of budget by loans and deficit...99% of our revenue goes to debt service...meaning we are paying for subsidy by loans. Back in 2012, which was the best time we could have removed it, and still had savings...we were still paying for it with revenue. We should have removed the thing in 1993, and maybe you would have been a general manager of a private refinery by now. We are between a rock and a hard place, so before you call me a government dupe, I should let you know that I have spent ten years worrying about this thing in my spare time, and all the conclusions I have lead to us having to remove subsidy. Because if we do not, we would end up running out of money , and that won't be funny. I don't like subsidy removal, it is a horrible thing, and I wish we could have some subsidy for the poor at least....but when we are paying for the thing with loans, and running huge deficits doing so..which have to be filled with more loans....sorry, but there we are. If all the candidates, except Sowore , supported some form of subsidy removal, then something is up. |
