Taxing times

From The Economist print edition

The prime minister plans to raise taxes to restore the public finances

FIRST it was spend, spend, spend. Now it is tax, tax, tax. As Spain’s budget deficit soars and economic recovery remains elusive, the Socialist prime minister, José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero, has made clear how he expects to start balancing the books. “I am going to ask for a share of people’s incomes out of solidarity and to meet the demands of the most needy,” Mr Zapatero told parliament on September 9th.
An €8 billion public-works stimulus combined with a dramatic fall in revenues has blown an enormous hole in the public accounts (see chart). This year’s budget deficit is expected to be around 10% of GDP. Yet Mr Zapatero has promised extra money to everyone, from regional governments to the long-term unemployed. Next year will see an extra €5 billion given to town halls.

Basícamente, lo que dice es que donde antes había gasto ahora hay impuestos. Os traduzco las palabras del gráfico y vosotros podéis sacar vuestras propias conclusiones:

Budget presupuesto
Revenue ingresos (rentas públicas)
Spending gasto
Surplus superávit

Terrorífico...
