WHERE IS OUR MONEY GOING?
June 14 2013
Assume I have a great desire to do Á "euro-repair" in my house and
have wooden furniture. (I say 'assume', because I really do not care
about such issues, in childhood my parents explained that it is a
bourgeoisie). And here I brag about before my wife and children,
saying "you know what I'm going to do now", my family listens to my
bonapartist plans with their mouths open. But I know that I have no
money to carry out such projects, nor a normal maintenance team. But
I have, so to speak, tangled into lies and I can not straight away,
as Raffi called, "go into reverse". And I have to call unsuccessful
"euro-repair" team, give the money I have and it will start doing a
snippy work of low-quality, and, naturally, it will not end. When the
time to somehow restore what was demolished, it will become necessary
to call master Gaspar to create the minimum living conditions, I will
not even have the money for it. The policy of our government is almost
the same, the plaster is falling from the walls, it is blowing from
windows apertures, the taps are not working, it's time to call Gaspar,
but continues to spend money on doubtful and impracticable projects,
starting from achievement of the universe and ending with techno-park
in Gyumri. Those ridiculous plans that were disclosed at the National
Assembly during the debate on budget performance, of course, failed
and will fail for the next decades. But in many cases the money has
been written off. Where is it gone? Ask NA Control Chamber for it. I
never did understand completely what it means that the budget funds
were not spent effectively. Let's again refer to a household example.
If I as a taxpayer give thousand Armenian drams to the entity doing
shopping of my house, to the government, and say 'go and buy four
kilos of potatoes', but it brings me half a kilo of rotten potatoes,
what should I think? Is is called an ineffective expenditure of money?
Or, it's the same, it says, instead of potatoes, I decided to buy
a Mercedes Benz tire, which, of course, is not buying. In order to
solve the problem, the entity who does the shopping should have a
superintendent over its head, the Parliament, which will prohibit
unnecessary costs and, moreover, squandering. But if the spender and
the superintendent are from the same republican 'bureau', the situation
will be the one that exists. When it is said a counterbalance, I mean
just it. Aram ABRAHAMYAN
