Make the State Pay for the Crisis | Que el Estado Cargue la Crisis

DON’T LOAD THE CRISIS ONTO THE PEOPLE

Dunn calls to “dismantle” the State: reduce payrolls, superfluous spending, and unproductive investments.

Dunn says the State should bear the suffering from the anti-crisis measures.

In his view of the government’s economic policy, financial analyst and former presidential candidate Jaime Dunn observed that what is missing is a reduction in public spending, so that it is the State that suffers the consequences of the anti-crisis measures and not the people.

He pointed out that reducing the subsidy on hydrocarbons is positive, but in reality it is only affecting the people, while the “corrupt State” has actually benefited greatly, because it not only saves 2 billion dollars, but also collects more taxes.

He said the government is “delighted and happy,” while the people see no benefit.

In that context, Dunn demanded that the State take responsibility for the rest of the spending. “The State has to suffer the consequences of solving the crisis and not the people,” he added.

He said this is done through a process of “dismantling” the State, with measures to reduce spending ranging from payrolls to unproductive investments.

As a first measure, he suggested cutting the State payroll by 30%, which would mean about 2.2 billion dollars.

Second, he called for cutting unproductive public investment, which would amount to about 800 million dollars.

He also proposed reducing about 450 million dollars in the purchase of supplies, goods, and services by the State; cutting “superfluous expenses” such as cocktails, travel, cars, and rentals, which would total 270 million; and also reducing funding for public enterprises that are not even profitable by about 800 million dollars.

He lamented that politicians do not carry out these reduction measures because “they are part of the system.”
