Making the poor productive (or restoring wealth); or how leaders destroy the country they lead

It is more fun criticizing

This post is alarmed at so many welfare programs in cash in form of "ayuda" that are definitely draining the treasury.    At the same time we see lack of support to the sector that pays it all:   the taxpayers... The Revenue offices and the LGU s are bearing hard on tax payers:   support for the unproductive sector of the economy and difficulties for those who generate the revenue.  Developing human resources.  Thats our purpose in life:   to develop our gifts and use it to advance the world.    Not promote dependence an mendicancy

We were taught in grad school is social philosophy that the goal of the govt is to make the poor productive and not creating a welfare state.   Social states were not productive and failed.  Look at Venenzuela to see why its economy is in shambles.

And yet this persists in the country and to fund huge social welfare programs, the country has to borrow in trillions   Wait to see the consequence

This post avoids long discourse on this topic;   its beyond the scope of this article...

While we need to help those who cant eke out their living and have challenges, most of the fund can be used to fund:   training to be more productivee, livelihood programs, increasing farm productivity.   Of course corruption has removed most of the resources for these programs

Germany's Chancellor Merz - social welfare state no longer financially viable

Welfare state

You Tube - Venenzuela economic collapse

Are we turning into a welfare state

There are simply too many laws being passed as "ayuda" subsidy, salary increases that one wonders how these can be funded.  The answer was made clear as Duterte left his tenure leaving behind twice the level of debt as when he came in.

This was the reason why Sri Lanka and Venenzuela ended in hyper inflation as in Venenzuela, and bankruptcy in the case of Sri Lanka.   And the ensuing political and social  undrest.

This post hopes the legislature and the economic team become circumspect in leading the country towards fiscal and economic stability

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
