In the Kremlin

Started with themselves

These glorious guys are all trying to show us that they are floating with the people “in one boat”, as Dmitry Anatolyevich put it.

Putin ordered to transfer his salary to a bank that fell under sanctions. Purely hero! Not afraid for savings, ready to take a chance. I won’t even ask when he last went to the store with this salary.

Then the Putin salary with Medvedev and deputy was reduced by 10%. And the bureaucratic deputies throughout the country took under the visor-they are also with the people. I will not remind you of how a deputy salary grew from 165 to 398 thousand rubles. Apart from all other blessings that are not for money or at prices from communist dreams (see the menu in the dining room of the State Duma).

Now we are talking about pensions. Pension age is planned to increase. The same age that our president said during the “direct line” the following: “Yes, we have a life expectancy, but still for a man - this is 65 and a half years, if we put the age of 65 at 65 - you will excuse me for the simplicity of expression, it worked out, in a wooden macintosh - and went, or what?”

But if you really need it, then ... Let's start with ourselves!

“I believe that if you start something in this life, it is better to always start with yourself. ... Let's discuss it. If we come to the conclusion that civil servants, State Duma deputies, some other categories are ready to retire later, such a bill could be considered and promoted ” - this is Dmitry Anatolyevich again in response to the proposal of the miraculous mandate of Trapeznikov to the age of 65 years for deputies for retirement.

I do not want to play the captain of evidence. Put the hand on the heart - probably, the increase is inevitable. For many reasons. And because there really is nowhere to go. And because it makes it possible to continue active life and earn money to millions of middle -aged people. And this work and life will extend them, by the way. All this is true and logical if not for "start with yourself."

After all, this is the same story as a reduction in salaries by 10%. These people were not, will not and will not want to be with ordinary citizens in the same conditions. And 10% - hypocritical cunning. Because the starting conditions are different and life after a “proportional” reduction will remain blatantly unlike.

In the same way, retirement for a deputy is not at all the same as retirement of an ordinary Russian. Those who, despite all the advantages of raising the plank I mentioned, want to go to this very well -deserved rest, most often do not have the strength to work. Because they worked all their lives. They worked hard. Worked for a modest money. And they just want to relax. Without even counting on a decent pension.

Is it somehow like the life of the Duma? The asses of those who have served on Okhotny row, wiped pants to the holes, calling the corns of the laws during stamping - one more idiotic and meaner? Mental health there, perhaps, undermined someone, but physical! The ruddy, glossy faces of the servants of the people who were obscured on these galleys literally scream about overwork. True, not all faces are visible to us. Empty chairs are more often visible, whose owners appear in the Duma no more than the change of seasons. Probably, there is no strength to get to work. Therefore, the idea to increase the retirement age for another five years is something heroic.

But they are courageous people. For the country, the latter will be given. All health and all forces without a trace. So I won’t be surprised if, in the process of discussion, they will raise the plank up to 70 years old, and to 75, and then they will completely ban themselves to retire. There will be Zyuganov with Zhirinovsky lifelong deputies, vice-speakers and committees.
