Claudio Acosta, a page two columnist in Hoy newspaper, has criticized the government's stated intention to increase taxes in order to fulfill the law that calls for the government to make available 4% of the National Budget for educational needs.
He speculates that the new tax money would be used for informal payrolls in government departments, thousands of consuls and vice consuls appointed where they are not needed, to purchase SUVs for high up and lower down government officials, to remodel and redecorate government offices and departments, to hold workshops where everyone agrees on the problems, to organize large missions abroad on first class tickets to attend summits or any global meeting while staying at luxury hotels, to improve the quality of life for the privileged citizens who belong to what one day (hoping it will not take 100 years) will be known as the "comesolismo gobernante" or eatalonegovernment.
