The Prime Minister was yesterday in Seville, where was pleased to announce more measures to save cope with the crisis, which at first seemed to raise taxes only knew Zapatero, but once getting in the way of austerity, this man is not to.
Zapatero has a plan. Is to cut energy costs than 2,000 public buildings by 20%, which will, in his opinion, a saving of 3,000 million euros a year. We do not know how many evenings you will learn to distinguish direct from indirect taxes and fixed interest rate variable, now missing Jordi Sevilla, but we'll see if he can learn the rule of three in a bit: If
20% of the energy bill of those 2,000 public buildings is 3,000 million euros a year, the total electric bill annually, will equis.
20 ....................................... 3000 100 ..... ................................ x
Where x = 15,000 million euros, which is the total energy bill of those 2,000 buildings. Now click this link you National Institute of Statistics . Within the page click on 'Main results' and will see some interesting facts of National Economy in 2009.
For example:
GDP was 1,051,151 million
Consumption Expenditure of Public Administration: 222.329 million euros.
VAT collected: EUR 43.471 million contribution
Energy Sector to GDP: 24.613 million euros.
words, in the opinion of the Prime Minister, 2,000 public buildings spend in light:
The 1.43% of GDP
The 6.74% of all consumption expenditures incurred by all administrations Spain in all public buildings and even the embassies (including Carod-Rovira)
34.5% of total VAT revenues in 2009.
The 60.94% of the total contribution of the energy sector to Gross Domestic Product.
not walk anyone strong government in numbers, go in its defense that the accounts were made by the vicesegunda, but it is noteworthy that the prime minister impossible to expose the data to an audience composed of businessmen and trade unionists, but there was not a giggle or a cough. Ah, the invisible power suit.
Anonymous CommentsFor Zapatero what matters is not the product but selling the product. What is going to be a souvenir?. That will save a lot and is taking measures but really do not even think to launch the energy reduction public buildings, because that is not so intended, the citizens believe they will do it.
