As I write this (early March) just heard the news that the Government, in order to save energy and money, the speed limit on our freeways and highways 120 to 110 km / h; also cheaper local trains by 5% to encourage public transport use and increase the proportion biodiesel from 5.8% to 7% in diesel. The measure is "transitory" will be used as stickers on road signs whose cost is estimated at 250,000 €. These measures shall enter into force on 7 March.
confess that the news, in a first moment, I was puzzled to then give way to laughter. First of all I have to say I am not fond of using the rate for my travel, and I consider myself a person complies with the rules established, but slow down in 10km / h to save "up to 5%" seems to me that our politicians (all) lack the imagination to tackle the real problems of our economy, not to say that suffer the most elementary common sense.
Regardless of whether this measure has more detractors than supporters for their ineffectiveness, and is suspected of hiding behind a tax collection without further encouragement, without being an expert, I have other without having to bother with the usual: Why not be reduced to 110 the number of deputies and senators? It is widely known that their lordships vote en bloc as their political party tells them, therefore, save on exorbitant salaries, allowances, transfers, annuities reducing the number of their Lordships in the cameras. System will continue operating but with a much lower cost to citizens. Also could reduce to 110 the total number of advisers of the Government, because in making this decision, not take that many. Is this the only thing wrong with this government? Driving more slowly at 10 km / h?
Another important issue is the storage of our nuclear waste deposited in France and that cost us 60,000 .- € a day. Although many people have requested that storage, not take any decision until after the election. Do you understand?, Do not you think that cost us dearly to have them in another country and could have taken this decision long ago to save the waste? But it is not politically expedient. This is prior to any economic issue.
Our politicians are used to their inefficiency is not correlated to their political responsibility. Unfulfilled campaign promises, the glaring errors with significance in the economic, excluding cases of possible corruption, are not sufficient to resign. It must drive them, because they will not. Look at the German minister of defense, who had to resign for "plagiarizing his doctoral thesis" ... .. Hopefully, someday, the definition of the word politics reach, in practice, all its wonderful meaning: human activity aiming to govern or direct state action for the benefit of society. Miguel F.
