It cost €8,500,000 to drive senior ministers around the country last year. Cars cost extra at €85,000 on average. State covers fuel and maintenance. No wonder they don't understand the cost of living crisis. https://t.co/Qjgw90bBRb #CostOfLiving #GovernmentSpending #MinisterialExpenses #None

Vláda prosazuje zákon o větším zadlužení České republiky v době vysokých úrokových sazeb. Příští rok může být deficit až 400 miliard korun!

In his recent $1.5 trillion budget request, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth has proposed unprecedented military spending that lacks the necessary oversight and accountability, presenting a buffet of funding options for traditional contractors and controversial programs without making difficult budgetary trade-offs, thus raising concerns among lawmakers and experts about fiscal responsibility and the prioritization of national security needs. #MilitaryBudget #NationalSecurity #GovernmentSpending #US #IR #GB #UA
