The defense of the waste

The high revenues of the officials don't contribute an effective government
México. - The president of the managerial Coordinating Council (EEC, in Spanish), Gerardo Gutierrez Candiani (GGC), it was pronounced against the proposal formulated by the presidential applicant of the Progressive Movement, Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador (AMLO) about the possibility of reducing the wages of the high public officials, because he said that “these have bigger responsibility", and in consequence “they should be very prepared and very paid people", with these premises it is difficult in the private sector to find very paid people, because it is people with high school qualifications. It is question.

With such circumstances of high academic qualification, the managerial leader said that the cuttings proposed by the candidate of the Progressive Movement (PRD-PT-MC) they could cause that “in fact for those low wages (the officials) they fall in other topics that they are those that we should attack", as the corruption. The defense for the high organism of the private sector of the high perceptions that they are given to themselves same the most upper-class members in the Legislative, Executive and of the Judicial part it is not only contrary to the republican spirit, but also incomprehensible from the logic of the own managerial interests: the big private consortia would have to be, for principle, the main ones interested in to reduce or to settle down an it collides reasonable to the emoluments and the welfare work of the high employments of the State, be this way like form of optimizing the expense of the resources that they contribute for the fiscal way.

To reduce costs of the government's operation
The reduction in the cost of operation of the public sector, one of the measures of austerity, is a position endorsed by the international experience and the debate begins about the solution of the world crisis. Also the austerity in the government's expenses in the face of the impossibility of increasing the taxes to the people like form of alleviating pressures budgets them, this has outlined Fernando Turner (FT), to the presidential candidate of the Progressive Movement. In their declarations FT that increases more public expense in Mexico that the production and the employment. "This is a way toward more poverty and less development. The citizens pay the public expense to short and long term and its increase weaken the investment and the employment."

AMLO insisted, last Sunday (6/10/12), in the debate with the other three presidential candidates, in the proposal of reducing in 20 thousand million dollars the government's expense starting from lowering the salary of the high bureaucracy in half. A measure of that type, arbitrated through Twitter president FCH, it would only generate a saving of a 66.67 million dollars. In this year, the employments of control’s high chiefs of the central public administration that it understands the Federal Executive's dependences basically without autonomous powers neither companies property of the State, arrive at 3 thousand 288.13 that consume an annual payroll of 5 thousand 868.93 million dollars, of agreement with the Budget of Expenditures of the Federation 2012, mentioned in the document that sustains the republican austerity’s initiative of the Progressive Movement’s presidential candidate.

To reduce this expense in half, according to that same document, it would imply a saving to the taxpayers of 2 thousand 945.13 million dollars. A second item saving has to do with the controls of the autonomous powers, as the Electoral Federal Institute (IFE, in Spanish), and the Supreme Court of Justice (SCJ, in Spanish); and of the entities controlled budgetary like Mexican Petroleum (Pemex, in Spanish), and the Federal Commission of Electricity (CFE, in Spanish). In this case, the personal services of the whole personnel have a cost this year of 20 thousand 208.8 million dollars. It thinks about in the document that detailed information doesn't exist on the employments that correspond to the superior controls, but it assumes that a reduction of half of the salary of the employees of more hierarchy it would mean a saving of 15 percent of the annual departure, this is, 3 thousand million dollars.

This way, they already add practically 6 thousand million dollars, in accordance with the document on that the proposal of AMLO is based that is even in shape of law initiative in the Chamber of Deputies. We can thin of the initiative a very interesting item that is susceptible of being diminished, and it has to do with reducing the government's operation expense of different from salaries and wages, without reaching the subsidies and federal contributions. Especially it outlines to eliminate the insurance of medical expenses for the high bureaucracy that they are paid with the taxpayers' resources; to eliminate the entry dedicated to the payment of separation insurance and to eliminate some employments like: private secretary, secretary technical, advisory or equivalent positions.

Not to pay more pensions to former presidents, to rationalize and to make more efficient the purchases of goods and services for the government, to eliminate expenses for cellular telephony, remodeling of offices, besides prohibiting the use of private airplanes with charge to the budget and the purchase of new cars for federal officials. On the whole, these measures would generate an annual saving of among 10 thousand 666.67and 11 thousand 333.33million dollars that add it previously to the 6 thousand million detailed.
"For a sensible administrator, it is evident that in the government's expense there are lost, corruption, waste and little efficiency. The population demands that it is eliminated this waste and AMLO is willing to press the belt, beginning with himself same, to put the sample to the other powers and autonomous organisms", Turner said.
