Pension reform compared to the loss of Ukraine
The so-called pension reform in the Russian Federation is as dubious as the work of the Russian Embassy in Ukraine, which “missed” the Euromaidan.
Ex-deputy of the Odessa City Council Igor Dimitriev, who was forced to move to Russia after the events of May 2, 2014, discusses this in his blog, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“This story with your pension reform is strange. On the one hand, it is stated that there are fewer and fewer workers, and they are not able to support the growing number of pensioners. And, on the other hand, the influx of workers from Ukraine or Donbass is blocked.
And I’m not even talking about the fact that this application contradicts the very idea of a pension fund. Initially, the fund assumes that you spend your whole life investing in some business, not the most profitable, but stable, and then receiving dividends. And then it turns out that working people feed you in retirement. Stop! Where did the money go that was collected from those who worked before?
Until 2005, the Pension Fund had a surplus, everything was fine. Where did you invest the funds? Which projects? Where are the dividends? No? Then there are questions about the efficiency of spending these funds.
I am not familiar with Russian laws, but in the Russian Federation the “office” is tenacious, it finds inappropriate spending of funds in any topic, and then, if desired, it will tear it apart. By the way, the Russian Pension Fund employs 130000 workers.
In short, to be fair, the question is posed as usual: Who is to blame? and What to do? Who is to blame for the ineffective spending of pension funds, and how to optimize this matter now. But the reform is trying to shift the blame onto new pensioners. The holes will be closed, and then a hole will appear in the budget. Raise again?
And, by the way, the same nonsense in many other projects. Ukraine has been screwed, and no one is to blame. She herself. Did they pour money into Ukraine? They tumbled in.
It's not even a matter of theft. They just spent it on unknown things. And every project I came across cost three times more than it was worth. Just stupidity. Because the principle of efficiency is fundamentally alien to the current form of government. And, of course, it’s not the pensioners who are to blame for this,” says Dimitriev.
