Creators of the crisis

 Topical Archive 2006 In the government if to say the least, any misunderstandings. Mikhail Fradkov has openly expressed dissatisfaction with the activities of ministers. And rightly so. The activities of our ministers can be happy unless the oligarchs so particular community of businessmen and officials. Galloping inflation and rising prices did not contribute to the welfare of the majority of Russian citizens. But I would like to draw attention not to the fair criticism of Ministers Mikhail Fradkov and the reaction of certain media and various personalities over criticized. In connection with this rather remarkable statement by Vladimir Solovyov, rushed to defend Kudrin and Gref, the TV program "Sunday Evening with Vladimir Solovyov:" In recent years, no less success than the extremely topical films, the audience enjoy the reports from the government meeting. For example, almost-death of some ministers called the other day another fit of eloquence Premier Fradkov. It all began with the president, who drew the attention of Prime Minister that the inflation rate during the first months of the year significantly blocked the inherent performance. And here, Mikhail Fradkov was angry, but not for themselves, as would not achieve the parameters, and entrusted to him by the government. (Here Soloviev offers Fradkov himself to work, not force ministers to work in the interests of the country) and well-trained voice gave ministers spacing. The main accused was appointed as missing due to illness Finance Minister Kudrin. working out commanding voice, Prime prophesied of concentrated work, the gap between word and deed, and in conclusion, the ministers vowed to disrobe for profneprigodnost. sounded like a sentence. It remains to give effect to it ... Fradkov made a wise move, and, at least, is unlikely after such a demarche anyone would now dismiss him. (Solovyev rushed to defend, just as Alexander Matrosov at recess, pleasing him Kudrin and Gref, and tries to throw the blame for failed policies in the cabinet of Mikhail Fradkov) Well, for the fate of Kudrin and Gref, we You and I can not worry about what year is all they face with a finger, but they did their jobs and stay. (First of all, apart from big landowners, commodity tycoons, but some of interested journalists, and no one worried about the fate of the aforementioned ministers, and Secondly, the ministers themselves are no longer afraid of losing their seats, as long provided a means for a comfortable existence for many years. This is a worker, who lost their work, may starve, but not the minister, the proceeds of which millions of dollars .) As they say, other finance ministers and other ministers of economy we have for you there. " Here, then, Mr. Solovyov and betrayed the essence of his tirades. They, and he knows who really has no other ministers of finance and economy, but the people are there in sufficient quantity. For Solovyov joins and "expert", who notes: "Mezhkabinetnaya debate about what is important to modernize the economy and reduce inflation, finally got on the presidential level. Last week, Prime Minister Mikhail Fradkov has warned his ministers that if inflation in 2006 exceed the target level, it could threaten their position held. His credibility Fradkov seemed insufficient, and he referred to the president: that the latter asked to pay attention to rising prices. On Wednesday, March 15 will be a meeting of the Government on this issue. There is a possibility that the excited attention President of the Government decides: it's time to lower the inflation rate means-tested hard - holding back the growth of money supply. Our calculations (What are these calculations are at the "Expert", we must only guess) show that today it would be a grave mistake. The fact that one of the major causes of inflation today is just lack of money (very strange interpretation of the causes of inflation. It turns out that the cause of inflation can serve as a shortage of money, that is, according to the calculations of experts, the less money in circulation, so they are cheaper. Although, in reality, inflation - this excess money supply over the goods. Lying gentlemen experts.) in the economy, and especially in the private sector economy. This is indirect evidence of the increasingly frequent application of an impending banking crisis, as well as the observed rise in interest rates (rising interest rates and is due to expectations of higher inflation.) and long-term loans and the interbank market. So, in discussing the problem of inflation, we must speak not only on prices but also on liquidity - how to give an opportunity to take thousands of businesses. " Not the best way illuminates what is happening and Alexander Budberg, a correspondent for Moskovsky Komsomolets. "Wednesday is going to happen unbelievable." - Informs readers journalist Budberg. - "If we believe the Prime Minister Fradkov, then at the next meeting of the government found out," Who is Hu. Responsible for the accelerated rise in inflation to be found, accused of incompetence and publicly punished. No one else in the Russian government is not dismissed with similar wording. And if this happens, it will just be a revolution. Of course, it would not change anything in terms of professional standards officers, but such a flogging demonstrate incredibly increased political power of the prime minister, who for nine months had not even allowed to make "an incomplete official line is" absolutely a failure of the Minister of Culture Sokolov ... (In what was a failing operation Sokolova, journalist Budberg does not tell us. It seems that he could not agree with the previous minister. But at the same time, Budberg tries to convince us to profneprigodnosti Minister Sokolov. Though, today's events it is not relevant.) At the end of the year by the Government were excessive (which, according to Budberg, it seems, should have been not the government, while obviously well-known persons.) Money (about half) - had "tax arrears" from the already destroyed Yukos, and the price oil prices were higher than expected. The money was put into circulation, and inflation does not slow to affect the result. But it would be only half the trouble. It became clear that the money taken out Fradkov from the Stabilization Fund, have already started to arrive in the economy. (Here Budberg might explain to readers how much money and when Fradkov snatched from the Stabilization Fund, and some confusion turns. Fantasy patient's consciousness.) In the current situation - explains Budberg - "eat" Kudrin - the only way to rehabilitate Fradkov in Putin's eyes, (Actually, Budberg should not have to carry their understanding of life at all.) Show all other valid and seriousness of their own with serious ambitions. And not in the economic, namely in the political sphere, where Prime is still struggling is the "first" successor of GDP. Realizing that one of inflation Kudrin did not break, Fradkov, with the help of his subordinates is trying to raise the topic of "melting the Stabilization Fund," all from the same inflation. Kudrin accused because of his inaction and profneprigodnosti Russia has lost over two years from 90 to 132 billion rubles. In the White House now like to say that for a finance minister should change seats in the dock. However, most experts "on the money" - Vyugin, Dvorkovich, Ignatiev, Ulyukayev - believes that the methodology of calculation of the government staff, in principle, is not true ... " Most likely, the method of calculation is correct, sir Budberg. And that's why readers have not seen evidence of innocence, the unwinding of inflation, Mr. Kudrin said. True, he is not alone involved in this, but this does not justify itself Kudrin. Vedomosti newspaper article be delivered Maxim Solyusa in which the journalist calls to fire Deputy Chief of Staff of the Government Kopeikin, because he dared to express impartial opinions on the policy the Ministry of Finance, and Kudrin apologize. And what Kopeikin, like any other citizen, is entitled to their opinion, "freedom-loving" Solyus trying to influence the personnel policy of the Government, not even imply. More specifically, the situation in the government, Maxim Sokolov wrote in Izvestia: "Justice, however, requires recognition that the last call of Mikhail Fradkov was not the best. Grasp the wake of the president to demand from Alexei Kudrin and Gref control inflation figures - and no more per thousand, the Prime Minister came into conflict with their own wishes about the same in order to raise the rate of economic growth, reduce the tax burden. And also realize large national projects. If charging Alexei Kudrin only thing he knows, that is, fight against inflation by pumping full of money from the economy, then what are the national projects, growth and tax cuts? "And then he shows his dependence on the position of Kudrin, who has repeatedly said that industrial development is possible only in conditions of unwinding of inflation, and that it leads unceasing struggle against inflation. But let's look at things with my own eyes and judge people by their deeds, not by what they say. And in fact we see that inflation is not at all diminished, and continues to ravage the wallets of our citizens. Against the backdrop of army defenders of inflation and Kudrino-Grefovskoy policy subtle peep comments made by Vladimir stalwart: "Instead of the promised improvement in the lives Russians for the first two months of this year received a rapid rise in prices and were even poorer than they were ... According to official figures, inflation for the first two months of the year was 4 percent. But not for nothing that even Churchill said that "there are lies, there is a terrible lie, and there are statistics." What there is 4 per cent "for the same official data, the potatoes in Russia since the beginning of the year increased by 19 percent and carrots for 20, cabbage 28, HCS 25, sugar 30, salt and does 200 percent. And the only prescription to fight inflation, which offer our top economists Kudrin and Gref - is curbing wage growth. That is, they propose to make the people poorer. windfalls rich for some reason absolutely not worried. "" Life, "" The prices stifle Russians! 2 months food prices increased by 25% (Vladimir hefty)
