Almost every disadvantage that can be in the state budget exists in the budget that will be put to a vote today in the first reading in the Knesset plenum.
Both cuts, tax increases and deficit increases.
All for one price.
A very heavy political price, which will even increase ahead of the second and third votes in November.
This is a government that wants to survive and is doing so at the behest of Cole.
A government that distributes money indiscriminately to anyone who demands it.
Not because she needs to and it's true, but because she has a finger that should be raised at the right moment.
The coalition funds are so wasteful, on an unprecedented scale, that there is nothing left for the war in Corona, for adapting the education system to the current reality of the disease, or to the collapsing public hospitals.
The dream of all finance officials for their generations is a submissive finance minister.
Led.
defeated.
Warm effort Every plan, no matter how hallucinatory, the main thing is that the numbers come together effortlessly.
After the great waste to the Arab sector and all the other parties, come tax increases on the right and left, direct and indirect.
There are no pensions, the soldiers are out.
And Corona?
It does not exist.
Even if one strives to see through the crowded numbers, she has no trace.
Not in the health budget.
Not in education.
And not in economics.
Businesses are closing and reducing activity, and any compensation?
nothing.
There is no outline and there is no outline at all.
And we have not yet talked about the Arrangements Law.
The Speaker of the Knesset, like any Speaker of the Knesset, had to throw away the pile of pages placed in front of him and slam them in the face of the minister who asked on behalf of the government to transfer them.
Heavy laws, major reforms, including controversial issues, become a line in a thick book, on which coalition members will vote with a wave of the hand, without discussion, without deepening, without understanding the consequences and without the whole picture unfolding before them.
Because what is really the connection between the kosher reform of the Ministry of Religions and the line in the Book of Arrangements Law?
Isn't this a law that should require an in-depth discussion?
Fulfilled for the government no, they measure everything through the hole of the divorce, and the stability of the government above all, but why did the Speaker of the Knesset not spare the honor of the house and allow this farce? Instead of vetoing, he also surrendered. One harsh criticism of the High Court, regarding the division of committees, when he chose to sit opposite and not lift a finger.
It was supposed to serve him as a yellow card, some warning sign, but the Arrangements Act proves he learned nothing.
The Speakers of the House have been accused in the past that instead of leading the Knesset they serve as partners in the government, this was especially at a time when the Prime Minister was Netanyahu and the Speaker of the Knesset was from the Likud.
But only now has it become clear how independent Rivlin, Edelstein and Levin were in front of Mickey Levy, who demanded that he stand before the chairman of his almighty party is probably an exaggerated expectation.
The budget, it seems, will pass. This is a government that is willing to pay, and a lot. To the coalition, to the Arab MKs in the opposition, and to any man who will allow it to survive.
