To take from the rich - not a way out. What unpopular decisions need to be made. To return payments to the military

And it affects some painful strings, plays against the background of injustice, or playes some secret desires. That can be more sensitive than the topic of supporting the military during the war? Supporting people who risk life and on the shoulders of which the country holds? What could be fair than decent payment for their ministry? And populists go into the arena and offer a simple solution. We need to pick up from the rich and give the military.

Is it possible not to support this? And this is just a simple solution that doesn't work. Let us even leave the idea of ​​the idea to reduce salaries in state -owned companies and government agencies. It's not reasonable. It is not a reasonable policy. Even this is not the main thing. The key that this idea doesn't work. First, even if you fulfill the idea of ​​"pick up and divide", the money is still not enough.

Reducing wages in the amount of 2 percent of the required payments will not provide 100 percent of these payments. And even here you need a math candidate to understand it. And even if you take the money from the telemorathon, switching it off, it is time to come, it will not be enough money. So you need to look elsewhere. Secondly, it is impossible at all.

First of all, money to employees of state -owned companies, including hated to the average Ukrainian by rich from supervisory councils, is not paid from the budget. So if these salaries are reduced, then the budget will not be more money. On the contrary, it will become less. Because these wages are taxed and taxes will be paid less. That's how it works. The truth is that the budget pays salaries to officials.

Can I take them? No one loves officials, why not dismiss them? The trouble is that the salaries of state employees, as well as pensions, scholarships, and subsidies, are paid from the funds of our Western partners.

It is no secret that all social is now paid at the expense of our Western partners, which is very annoyed by Orban, who wants to get this money? And, I hope, it is no secret that the rules of providing this budget aid are that we have no right to use this money for the army? This is an iron rule that no one will break. Therefore, it is not possible to raise money from an official who is paid the salary of partners' money, and transfer this money to the military.

All that concerns the army, Ukraine must finance from its own money. The Ukrainian budget is, in principle, is now divided into two sets that do not intersect. These are defense costs and other costs. And you can take money from the army and throw the other way. But not the other way around. And that would seem like a good idea, right? Beautiful slogan. But reality is different. And this slogan does not work. Just as the emotional event does not work "so eggs there are a million . . ".

Because corruption is, and no matter how we would like, it will not disappear in one night. As in one night they will not suddenly increase income from customs. Reducing corruption is a long and painstaking process to implement reforms in the rule of law and the fight against corruption. And there will be no instant result. Whatever we want. So, suddenly the budget does not appear in the budget that stopped stealing. So, what is the conclusion? You will not find popular money.

And the hope of this is ordinary infantilism that we have no right during the war. Can I find money by unpopular measures? So. And the adult approach is that we call the variants of unpleasant solutions and then choose. The first solution is a sharp increase in taxes. What and what can be discussed. The second, the most obvious solution, is the launch of the printing press. When we just print UAH 150 billion. And adults put an offer on the table and offer decisions. Understanding all the consequences.

As a consequence of a sharp increase in taxes and from the launch of the printing press. By the way, both stories will be very painful to the economy, which will reduce budget revenues in the future, which will reduce our ability to finance the army. And printing funds will also be a violation of our obligations to partners. And here is the choice of an adult. It is necessary to decide whether to take such steps because of a absolutely fair desire to raise income to the military.
