The Ministry Of Finance Has Doubts About The People's Livelihood, And The Public Has No Sense Of &Nbsp.

Recently, the people's Daily published a report: the Ministry of Finance introduced the financial expenditure: public expenditure 2/3 for people's livelihood. The article raises questions from some readers: Although the people's livelihood expenditure of the public finance is increasing year by year, the sense of benefiting the masses is different. China's financial revenue is very high, but why the public does not feel obvious. In response to this doubt, the Ministry of Finance recently interviewed a reporter to systematically analyze the reasons why different groups feel different about the improvement of people's livelihood.

A family of ten is harder than a family of two.

At present, China's per capita financial income level is not only far lower than that of the major developed countries, but also ranked 100 in the world rankings. According to the statistics of IM F, the average per capita income of the United States, Japan, Germany, France, Italy and the United Kingdom in 2010 was more than 14000 US dollars, while the per capita government revenue in China was converted to 1166 US dollars at the current average exchange rate, which was only about 8% of the per capita financial revenue of the above-mentioned countries.

The level of livelihood security and welfare is just the same as per capita. finance Income and expenditure levels are closely related. To give an example of visualization, the European and American countries are like "two families". China may be a family of ten. If we should be a family of thirteen or a family of fourteen according to the actual population, even if the total income of the two families is almost the same, there will be a great disparity in the level of welfare per capita. While the "two families" have to meet their basic needs and have extra financial resources to pursue higher quality of life, the "ten families" may only be able to maintain food and clothing.

Ensuring the improvement of people's livelihood is a long-term arduous task, and the expenditure on people's livelihood is also a process of dynamic adjustment and optimization. With the gradual increase of per capita GDP and per capita fiscal revenue and expenditure level, the people will enjoy more and better public goods and services.

Some people's livelihood expenses are "ex gratia".

To promote common prosperity and safeguard social fairness and justice is the essential requirement of public finance. Fiscal expenditure for improving people's livelihood is not suitable for the average effort. Instead, it should give full play to the role of fiscal redistribution and take more measures to help the middle west, rural residents and urban low-income people to promote coordinated regional development, urban and rural development and social harmony and stability.

Therefore, such as the implementation of free compulsory education in urban and rural areas, these "inclusive" Livelihood Expenditure, urban and rural residents can get tangible benefits from it, the feeling will be more obvious. Some expenditure items can not be implemented by "universal coverage" of Pratt & Whitney. For example, in recent years, the central government has constantly increased the transfer payments to the local, especially in the central and western regions. Accordingly, the people in the central and western regions will get more benefits from it.

For example, the state cancels the agricultural tax and so on. These measures are aimed at the farmers, and the feelings of the townspeople are not so strong; and the government increases the construction of affordable housing projects, and implements the policy of promoting employment and re employment. These policies are mainly targeted at urban residents, and their feelings of benefiting will be relatively strong.

The sense of burden reduction is not as good as increasing income directly.

There are more kinds of people's livelihood expenditure, such as direct subsidies for grain, comprehensive subsidies for agricultural products, subsidies for fine varieties, subsidies for agricultural machinery purchase, and other subsidies for the families of families with financial difficulties, and the increase of urban and rural minimum allowances. These expenditures have directly increased personal income.

The implementation of free compulsory education in urban and rural areas, raising the level of financial assistance for new rural cooperative medical care and basic medical insurance for urban residents, increasing the construction of affordable housing, and strengthening cultural construction have reduced the expenditure of urban and rural residents and reduced the burden of living, but the recipients may not feel as direct as increasing their income.

Some are used to improve the living conditions of residents.

In the public expenditure, people's livelihood expenses for education, medical treatment, social security and employment, housing security, culture and so on are mostly individual residents, directly increasing the personal income of the residents or reducing the expenditure, so the feeling will be relatively direct.

To strengthen the protection of the ecological environment, speed up the construction of urban and rural transport infrastructure and improve the municipal public facilities, create a good living environment and convenient living conditions for the masses, will improve the welfare level of the people, and also the important aspect of people's livelihood expenditure, but personal feelings are not so direct. For example, we should strengthen environmental protection, provide livable living conditions for the masses, promote road traffic construction, make people travel more convenient and fast, improve municipal services such as water supply, power supply, heating, gas, sewage treatment, landscaping and other municipal services, so that people can enjoy better life supporting services; strengthen disaster prediction and prevention capacity building, provide strong guarantee for people's life and property safety; promote circulation service network engineering construction, and make people shopping more convenient and comfortable.
