    Liberal populism - where are taxes to offset those tax cuts? They’re going to be promised but never happen and it’s going to end up with privatisation of public services. It’s how neoliberals work in Europe. That’s what made Orban and similar autocrats in the first place and why he will be back. I’m happy to take bets if needed, I’ve seen this way too many times already to fall for it again.

      You know you I linked the full pdf? Seeing you being an autist as well, I assumed you value veracity over confabulation.

      The answer is very plain: tax credits, recover 8000 billion frozen eu funds, 2000B annually, not spending thosands of billions on state propaganda, stopping overpriced (and rigged) puplic procurements, recovering the privatised oligarch funds etc.

      The annual super rich wealth tax is an inflow.

      But most importantly, cutting back on the servicing of debt. Hungary has very espensive debt, even when its relative value to GDP is normal. And this debt factor hugely depends on investor confidence, which is very positive if you look at the currency valuation as a proxy.

        I was naive like that too, now wait and see what happens in reality. This fixation on debt in nominal values is a tell for neoliberal talk - in reality that debt will balloon even more with the tax cuts and soon austerity will be needed (surprise!).

      Tax the super rich was point number 3. Although it should be more like 90% tax on anything earned over 1 billion.

        You’re treating electoral promises like something serious but it’s Eastern Europe and there’s no consequences to lying in politics. Never listen to what politicians say and just monitor what they do unless you want to be disappointed over and over again. The end goal of pro business parties is privatisation of public services, always.
