Qiu Chenyuan said that the People's Party is a political party that adheres to fiscal discipline. They believe that the DPP government is buying votes for policies, and many parts of the budget cannot be accepted.

For example, in the 380 billion budget, 50 billion was allocated to Taipower, but last year the official budget was already 150 billion. Why should the whole people pay for the wrong energy policy of the DPP.

Qiu Chenyuan pointed out that in the seven years since the Tsai government took power in Taiwan, the special budget has been normalized, and the national debt has repeatedly hit new highs. This year, the 5.8 trillion is about to reach 6 trillion. The average debt of each citizen is 250,000, which is about to reach 260,000. Serious debt situation, from debts to children and grandchildren to now may be debts to great-grandchildren, as a result, the government has been using money to appease public opinion.

He believes that this is not a normalized behavior that a normal country should have, especially since he has not seen the relevant evaluation reports from the Executive Yuan or the National Development Council, which is an irresponsible attitude.

Zhang Qilu criticized that the special budget also includes a reserve fund, which is outrageous. It is already a special budget, so what else needs to be prepared?

Has it become a small treasury again?

So they will completely oppose it; seeing the post-epidemic regulations this time, the problems of large-scale coin distribution, the problem of indiscriminate allocation, the problem of not spending money on cutting edge, and the problems of leaving small treasury, etc., they are Voting will insist on expressing dissenting positions.
