    And just to be clear, the budget was 38 billion, and this increase makes it 38.6 billion, a 1.6% increase.

    Isn’t inflation currently like 4.1%? So this is not even a budgetary increase commensurate with inflation? Clowns.

      In fairness, I think the budget itself had already increased this year before this new increase. This is 680 mil on top of the already increased budget.
