When the Government licks our ice creams

When your child earns his first ice cream money, do the following: before he licks the ice cream for the first time, take it to him and bite off 20 percent; while the child looks at you in astonishment, eat another 30 percent of the ice cream; after that, give him the rest and explain that this is what the government does with all the money people earn. Explain to the child that the biting percentage can be reduced by holding the hand and asking for a report on why they are biting so much.

If every parent does this, there is hope that a generation will grow up in our country who will understand that the state does not have its own money - there is only taxpayers' money. And that taxpayers not only can, but should monitor how government officials spend their money.

This plastic explanation of how the state works and how governments spend the money we earn is attributed to the famous British prime minister, the steel lady, Margaret Thatcher. Before entering political waters, Thatcherka, as a chemist, was part of a team that, simply put, patented a compound that is added to ice cream to make it creamy. Those who are not fans of Tačerka, especially its economic concept, explain that this patent actually made it possible to increase the volume of ice cream with a smaller amount of ingredients, while keeping its taste the same. That in fact - she was selling air.

A similar calculation from the beginning of the text about how much of our earned money is taken by the state, that is, the government, is also valid in Montenegro. With the fact that the Montenegrin Government bites into slightly more than half of the ice cream every month, which is among the highest percentages in Europe.

But our Government does not even need to have chemists. She has alchemists.

Like Milutin Simović. Who claimed, and stayed alive, that Iceland's economy went into a "downturn" after the country let its airline go bankrupt.

And that Iceland, as an island country, without its own airline, had 8.692 dollars in per capita income from tourism last year, while Montenegro has 1.814 dollars with its own airline.

The Government of Montenegro decided to donate 155 million euros of our money to MA, while hiding a plan on the basis of which MPs and the public should decide and know whether it makes sense to invest so much money in a company that will never take off.

If we divide the amount of 155 million euros by the number of employees in Montenegro who pay taxes, which is about 160.000 citizens, then we arrive at the calculation that the Government and MA will lick our 968,75 euros in the next few years.

Minister Osman Nurković, when he hides his business plan from MPs and the public, should know that any child, if he were to blindfold him while biting his ice cream, would throw a cone at him.

MPs of the DPS and participating parties are less careful about how they will spend our 968,75 euros, than they would be careful that the ice cream does not come off their shoes and does not slide down their hands.

Only the SD representatives are in trouble, because they will lick less if the same government gives airports into concessions.

But ice cream is ice cream. That's why SD is silent, sits in the Government and licks off its fingers what it thinks will be left for it.

The Government plans to give that delicious ice cream - the airport - which was filled into a cone almost by itself. Concessional. She doesn't consider paying foreign management to teach her how to bite better from the airport, if this one can't do it. She doesn't see that from the 100 million euros - buckets of ice cream - that she can get all of a sudden in the name of concessions. And every ice cream melts quickly.

The opposition, the civil sector and a responsible public exist to control the government officials who deliciously bite into our hard-earned ice creams.

Governments exist to spend what we have earned, but also to know how to do it, so that everyone is better off. To take so much ice cream that we don't take too much sugar into the body, and give it to someone who needs it.

This is called responsibility in settled countries.

Every uniform, every medicine, every school board, every kilometer of highway has been or will be paid for with our money.

And every official car, official cell phone, official road, every apartment for officials is paid for with the money of all of us who work, whether in the private or public sector.

And every runway and every plane is paid for by what we earn.

If the Government continues to bite like it did with MA and airports, everyone will be left with an empty cone in their hands.

Or, consider taking the government by the hand every month and loudly asking what they are doing with our money. Starting with those deputies of the ruling majority who plan to vote to spend our 968,75 euros for MA.
