Our current ruler confesses that he left the fiscal situation for the next term in pursuit of election.
This was the cover of Globo this week.
The next government will not have resources to meet the minimums for health and education.
There will be a shortfall of 11 billion to guarantee the constitutional minimums.
This means that the government has already spent so much, so much, so much, that by 2027 there will be no money to meet the basics, the mandatory expenses in the areas of health and education.
And there are two main reasons for this.
The first is that the government has surrendered to the Centrão, selling itself to be able to govern.
The amendments will consume the Union's free budget and leave the government without money for other expenses.
The resources, which are indicated by deputies and senators for the famous parliamentary amendments, will occupy almost half of the space allocated for non-mandatory expenses in 2027 and almost 100% of the budget space in 2028.
And the second reason is very obvious. The Lula government only knows how to spend.
In 2023, the government reached the second worst deficit in Brazil's history, reaching the same level that led to Dilma's impeachment in 2016.
Economic experts are already saying that public services are at risk of blackout starting next year.
