Medvedev’s ongoing “there’s no money” line is infuriating in itself, and it’s especially enraging against the backdrop of enormous image-building spending and the lifestyle of government officials.
Now there’s a new line: there’s “no money” for proper pension indexation, so it is being replaced with a one-time payment of 5,000 rubles (about 8,500 rubles less on average than people would get through indexation), and all the United Russia party members have started singing the same dishonest tune: “oh, a one-time payment is much better than indexation.”
There were even “pensioners’ organizations” rushing to thank the party and the government for the reduced payment.
I believe that “there’s no money” should be discussed only in the context of Sechin’s yacht, the war in Syria, the football championship, and all the other things that somehow do have money available for them. That’s what my new video is about:
If you have a relative who is a pensioner, be sure to send this to them. Let them directly connect the price of Sechin’s yacht with the size of their pension.
Also, by the way, here is a good argument explaining how simply putting state company dividends in order would solve the issue of full pension indexation.
