WHAT'S WORTH KNOWING...

=======================================================================

התקציב שהממשלה מעלה היום הוא הרסני. אין בו שום בשורה, אין בו רפורמה שתשפר את מצב המשק, אין מנועי צמיחה, אין מאבק ביוקר המחיה, יש רק סחטנות אינסופית. אנחנו נתנגד לתקציב הזה, ונעבוד קשה כדי לחזור מהר לשלטון. כי צריך יהיה לבטל את כל מה שהם עושים עכשיו לפני שהנזק הופך להיות ממשי.
