Os crentes de hoje a justificarem os seus pecados com os dos crentes de ontem.
Mas pecado é sempre pecado, certo?
Até porque, se andam a convidar os anteriores governantes para debater o futuro do Estado, é porque os t~em em boa conta e nem os querem castigados…
O que tem lógica, pois assim tentam assegurar um futuro sem desforras.

Não há hipocrisia…
Há sim uma farsa que a oligarquia reinante tenta conceber, encenar e representar.
Com um discurso de burlões … Mentem e sabem que mentem.

Curiosamente, o JG Ferreira vem, ultimamente, adoptando essa vertente argumentativa, remetendo as culpas da nossa situação sobretudo, ou quase exclusivamente, para o passado socretino – fazendo apenas bem em detacar as culpas que tem aí Cavaco por apenas se limitar a assistir e a mandar penosos “recados” -, pretendendo significar que este governo, por estar assim condicionado, não podia fazer outra coisa diferente do que tem feito para ultrapassar a crise…
Ou seja, a crise é uma inevitabilidade que temos que aguentar indefinidamente por causa de Sócas…
(Ziguezagues do JGF para se tentar manter na crista da onda…).

“Ou seja, a crise é uma inevitabilidade que temos que aguentar indefinidamente por causa de Sócas…”
A crise é uma inevitabilidade que temos que aguentar até que se saia da zona euro ou se ponha em prática o “Hartz concept” à la Schröder / Merkel:
“The Hartz concept is a set of recommendations that resulted from a commission on reforms to the German labour market in 2002. Named after the head of the commission, Peter Hartz, it went on to become part of the German government’s Agenda 2010 series of reforms, known as Hartz I – Hartz IV. The reforms of Hartz I – III took place between January 1, 2003, and 2004; Hartz IV began on January 1, 2005.
The “Hartz Committee” was founded on February 22, 2002, by the federal government led then by Gerhard Schröder; its real name was Kommission für moderne Dienstleistungen am Arbeitsmarkt – the Committee for Modern Services in the Labour Market. Its 15 members were led by Peter Hartz, then Volkswagen’s personnel director.
The committee devised thirteen “innovation modules”, which suggested changes to the German labour market system. These were then put into practice as Hartz I – IV:
Hartz I, II and III
Hartz I and II both came into effect on January 1, 2003, aiming at making new types of jobs easier to create, and covered, for example:
(Hartz I)
The foundation of “Staff Services agencies” (Personal-Service-Agenturen or PSAs).
Support for vocational further education from the German Federal Labour Agency.
Subsistence payments by the Federal Labour Agency.
(Hartz II)
New types of employment, “Minijob” and “Midijob”, with lower or gradually rising taxes and insurance payments.
A grant for entrepreneurs, known as the “Ich-AG” (Me, Inc.).
A rise in the number of job centres.
(Hartz III)
Hartz III came into effect on January 1, 2004. This measure was aimed at restructuring and reforming Job Centres, whose name was changed from the Bundesanstalt für Arbeit or Arbeitsamt (Federal Labour Institution), to the Bundesagentur für Arbeit or Agentur für Arbeit (Federal Labour Agency).
Hartz IV
The Hartz IV reform was voted in by the Bundestag on December 16, 2003 and by the Bundesrat on July 9, 2004; taking effect by January 1, 2005. This part of the reform brought together the former unemployment benefits for long term unemployed (‘Arbeitslosenhilfe’) and the welfare benefits (‘Sozialhilfe’), leaving them both at approximately the lower level of the former ‘Sozialhilfe’. The current (September 2009) level for a single person is €374 per month (known as the Regelsatz, raised to €382 per month beginning 2013[1]) plus the cost of ‘adequate’ housing and health care. Couples can receive benefits for each partner including their children.
Prior to 2005, between 12 and 36 months (depending upon the claimant’s age and work history) of their full unemployment benefit (60 to 67% of the previous net salary) were followed by Arbeitslosenhilfe (unemployment assistance, 53 to 57% of the last net salary). Since 2008, eligibility for the full unemployment benefit (renamed Arbeitslosengeld in 2005 and commonly referred to as Arbeitslosengeld I in everyday German to contrast it with the lower benefits discussed below), has been restricted to 12 months in general, 15 months for those aged 50 or older, 18 months for those 55 or older and 24 months for those 58 or older. This is now followed by (usually much lower) Arbeitslosengeld II (Hartz IV) benefits if the claimant meets the requirements (see next paragraph).
Whether or not a claimant is eligible for Arbeitslosengeld II depends on his or her savings, life insurance and the income of spouse or partner. If these assets are below a threshold level, a claimant can get money from the state. The current (July 2008) threshold level is €150 for free assets (at least €3,100) and €250 for fixed retirement assets, both calculated per capita and lifetime year.[2] Additionally, every employable individual in a communal household (persons living in and depending on the resources of the claimant), **can have one car worth about €7,500 and a self-used house of 130 square meters living space** (more if there are other people in the common household).
To receive payments, a claimant must agree to a contract subject to public law. This contract outlines what they are obliged to do to improve their job situation, and when the state is obliged to help. An unemployed person may be required to accept any kind of legal job. This compulsion is restricted by constitutional rights, like freedom of movement, freedom of family, marriage and human dignity. If taking on a specific placement is deemed reasonable by the responsible agency, not applying will result in a reduction or even complete suspension of the appropriate payment.
Within the Arbeitslosengeld II schemes, the state covers the health insurance of the unemployed. Until the end of 2010, payments towards the pension scheme of the claimant were also made.
It is possible to earn income from a job and receive Arbeitslosengeld II benefits at the same time. Job income is debited from Arbeitslosengeld II payments according to a formula that leaves a certain amount of the additional revenue untouched. These revenues are: a certain amount of savings (which increases with age); €100 plus 20 percent of the wage up to €800 plus 10% of the wage up to €1200 (up to €1500 if there are children). Through this mechanism Arbeitslosengeld II can be regarded as a sort of minimum wage floor for employees without assets, where the minimum wage is not fully paid by the employer but assured by the state. There are criticisms that this defies competition and leads to a downward spiral in wages and the loss of fulltime jobs.
The Hartz IV reform merged the federal level unemployment agency with the local level welfare administration. This facilitated a better, case-oriented approach to helping unemployed people find work and improve their situations. The plan’s objective is to reduce caseloads from 400 unemployed persons per agent to not more than 75 (aged 25 or less), or not more than 150 persons over the age of 25. For difficult cases, dedicated case managers may be deployed. Legally, however, the agencies remain separate.
The Hartz IV reforms continue to attract criticism in Germany, despite a considerable reduction in short and long term unemployment. This reduction has led to some claims of success for the Hartz reforms. Others say the actual unemployment figures are not comparable because many people work part time or are not included in the statistics for other reasons, such as the number of children that live in Hartz IV households, which has risen to record numbers.”
