Modern political habits are characterized by two trends.
Firstly, citizens as a rule do not know how much these or other political projects cost. For example, a foreign policy projects. (Someone can pay attention to the coincidence - whether any projects were implemented simultaneously with the increase in the retirement age?).
Secondly, sometimes, financial brevity, lack of informing, is interrupted by the announcement of some large expenditures from the state budget. (For a "simple" citizen, any budget expenditures seem huge ... In fact, there are a huge, a very huge and a very, very, very huge expenses).
This can be remembered when watching a video about a costume ball with the participation of "Napoleon" and his young girlfriend, a student.
Those participating in the event are dressed in excellent costumes, drink champagne ... The action takes place in some kind of, apparently, a palace hall ...
Questions arise:
Who paid for champagne, clothes, a hall, "boys" and "girls"? (senior lecturers-graduate students from their salaries-stipends?)
Who paid for a pleasant life and from what funds?
Where is the money, Zin?
