China Taiwan Network On October 29 According to Taiwan's "Zhongshi Electronic News", the Tsai Ing-wen authorities issued a large check to compete for the election, and "legislator" Lai Shibao criticized that the authorities did not hesitate to "remaining 350 billion yuan in debt" (New Taiwan dollars, the same below)! Lai Shibao said on the 28th that military aircraft procurement, the south extension of the Pingtung and the North Yi high-speed railway will cost a total of 400 billion yuan, but "Treasury Secretary" Su Jianrong admitted that the remaining annual amount available in a year is only more than 50 billion yuan. Lai Shibao sighed, deducting the remaining amount of the year, the three cases may be subject to 350 billion yuan of debt, and the people will pay the bill.
The draft "F-16V Special Regulations on Military Purchase" is expected to be passed in the Legislative Yuan on the 29th. Lai Shibao said that since it is related to the increase of "national security", there is no objection to the "government and opposition", but there is a very important question, "where does the money come from."
Lai Shibao asked Su Jianrong, is it necessary to purchase military aircraft 250 billion yuan, which is the surplus of part of the year plus part of the debt, or all the debts? Su Jianrong replied that according to the "Main Accounting Office", part of the debt should be calculated based on the annual balance, part of the debt should be borrowed, but most of the debt should be borrowed; the remaining amount will be used for the annual balance, and the rest will be borrowed, but the debt will be borrowed over a year and not completed in one go.
Lai Shibao asked again, the high-speed rail extends to Pingtung in the south, with about 55 billion yuan. How to allocate it? Su Jianrong said that the budget for the southern extension of the high-speed rail has not been determined yet, and the entire plan is still in the "Ministry of Transportation", and it must also be comprehensively evaluated by the "National Development Conference".
Su Jianrong admitted that the remaining annual amount of utilizing utilities is about 50 billion yuan. Lai Shibao said that the remaining 15 billion yuan of military purchases with an annual investment of more than 50 billion yuan was deducted, and only more than 30 billion yuan was left, which was no longer enough to cover the southern extension of the high-speed railway. "Now there is another Beiyi high-speed railway with more than 90 billion yuan."
Lai Shibao sighed, "It's so sad to say, I'm trying hard to spend a lot of money when the election arrives." He pointed out that the three cases include military aircraft procurement of 250 billion yuan, high-speed rail extension of 55 billion yuan, and Hebeiyi High-speed Railway with a total estimated 400 billion yuan, which is more than 50 billion yuan. The remaining amount of more than 350 billion yuan will be deducted, and "all the debts will be kept." Su Jianrong did not deny it, but only said that "it depends on the situation."
