Welfare mendicancy bad for government budget debt

It is more fun criticizing

Most of those being interviewed prior to Sona sish more ayuda and help and yet we have fewer taxpayers, and govt debt has been ballooning.  That is bad for the civic duty we are all promoting:   " Ask what you can do  for the country not what the country can do for you. " Many of our citizens expect more ayuda, rather than being able to help ie to contribute to govt coffers

"Aalagaan ko po ang mga kapos palad - po"

Social and political criticisms

I hope that the one who said that will be able to keep her words.

One of the test of integrity and success is the ability to keep the words and promises. Otherwise you just become another loud mouthed trapo politician;  or a promising solon -  full of promises.

Let us go back to the promise.  How will she do this?  By having many social welfare programs.  Where do you get funding from this?  From taxes or deficit spending.  How do you raise the taxes?

Will the public agree to more taxes?  Who will pay the taxes?  The very small tax base we have?  We borrow more?  Who will shoulder the costs/expenses?

If the taxes cant be raised, the good senator will be forced to dip into her office funds -  her CDF and the whole cycle of patronage (albeit corrupt) practices kicks in.

Good luck po
