In the video: Contrary to the position of the Speaker: Netanyahu and Katz presented an economic assistance program (Contact)

I received a message from a friend this week.

He wrote: "I saw Netanyahu's plan to stimulate the economy. I thought it was stupid. Then I went to look at what professors Janet Yellen and Paul Krugman said, and I started to think maybe I was wrong. There are still some very serious experts who support handing out money."



Since I did not know Netanyahu's plan to stimulate the economy, I went to read.

After reading, I replied that Janet Yellen and Paul Krugman were talking about the US and not Israel. There are countries, like Hawaii, where livelihoods have dropped more or less zero, and then there really is no choice but to support people directly.



But Israel is not Hawaii , And what may be appropriate there, is not necessarily appropriate here. What's more, Netanyahu intends to divide money into families according to the number of children - the more children you have, the more money you will receive. He will also receive money and will not have to pay taxes to repay the debts that will be created. It is not worthwhile for those who do work, because those who work will have to return not only what they will receive, but also what those who do not return will get. But I think a program that harms people who work and helps people who do not work will do just the opposite.

Beyond that, Netanyahu complained that the attorney general was interfering with him passing the plan.

Netanyahu even compared Israel to the United States, claiming that in the United States no official prevented President Trump from transferring funds shortly before the election.

Netanyahu is apparently right when he says that in the United States legal advice did not stop the president.

But the United States has a House of Representatives and a Senate, and they can arrest the president even without the help of legal counsel. If Netanyahu checks, he will find that in the months leading up to the election, Trump failed to pass any economic plan. At first, the Democrats stuck to Trump's plans because they thought they were not generous enough.Then, the Republicans stopped them because they thought the plans were too generous.

Netanyahu wants to be helped to break the law

But even without comparing to the US, Netanyahu's claim is very problematic. There is a reason why a government falls as soon as it fails to pass a budget. The state budget is a law that the Knesset legislates at the beginning of each year, and the government must act. It states that it is limited to the previous year's budget. Because the Netanyahu government failed to pass a budget, any spending it makes outside the last approved budget, the 2019 budget, is against the law. To allow the government to do something, legal advice created a framework that allows the government to function. Although what she is doing is not exactly legal. When Netanyahu now complains that the attorney general is interfering with him, he is actually complaining that the attorney general is not helping him break the law.



Instead of Netanyahu complaining about the legal advice, he will be angry at the political decisions he made. Need to do to get approval to pass any plan he wants, it is to approve the budget 2021. If he failed to do so even though he had a coalition with 73 MKs, he can come up with complaints only for himself.
