On October 19, the government urgently raised gas tariffs for the population by 23.8%. He was promised another 3.9 billion. dollars loan from the IMF.

There is no end to the joys of officials: huge amounts of money will be spent on arbitrary expenses (first of all, on salaries to themselves, as well as to servants in state monopolies) in the last months of their business, and they won't give it - let the people pay. For the tariff increase let the people pay too. Question: Why do we need such an arrogant corrupt state apparatus that does not produce anything productive and is able only to walk the world with an outstretched hand? The answer is no need. Today we need only a patriotic army mobilized, and the parasites in the offices must go away! Without them, the economy will be leveled out and balanced more quickly, and for plunderers of public property, the channels of legal and illegal zhivoterstvom will rather close.

The second question: what does the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine have to do with setting prices and tariffs. He has no right to do so.. We do not have planned socialism, where all prices were developed and approved at the top. Prices under our legislation in a market economy are set by the sellers with the consent of the buyers! Groysman's office as if got out of a centralized cave with dusty pricing, so it would be better to go back there.. The IMF does not look any better either, it justifies its demands on the growth of gas tariffs by the need to ensure the profitability of the Ukrainian NJSC Naftogaz. Where did he see this, on what continent or on what planet? The Foundation does not know that enterprises and even regions in the most developed countries of the world find themselves in a state of loss and bankruptcy and are themselves chosen from the situation, and also does not know that in these countries nobody protects monopolists, but vice versa?.

In my previous article, it was shown that a centralized increase in tariffs for utility services, including the supply of natural gas, is an intermediate link in a single cycle of general price increases (inflation), an increase in the state budget deficit, an increase in government debt, an artificial issue of banknotes, a fall in currency hryvnia exchange rate. And behind this begins a real drop in the incomes of citizens, the withdrawal of deposits from banks, a contraction of the investment flow and a real drop in production.. Again, financial collapse, devaluation, emigration of labor and capital. How many times have we seen the destructiveness of such financial cycles! All these events are already seen in currency fluctuations and parameters of the state budget for the next year.. Who is not yet clear!.

We are told that without an IMF loan, a default on external public debt is inevitable. So, with such power, he will definitely be inevitable!

And how do we, Ukrainian live - we are already in the abyss, as with the default. Do not deceive us. Stop the plunderers and bribe takers - you will answer! Not a cent from the new loan should fall into your sticky hands.. And the IMF should be delicately asked to act in the interests of the Ukrainian state, and not a handful of corrupt bureaucrats. And in no way can new tariffs be introduced.. Otherwise, the National Energy Regulatory and Housing and Utilities Commission will give explanations to the NABU.
