Government Deletes The Oil Subsidy
As net exporter oil in the past; Indonesian becomes net importer now! Why! They export too many in the past so the reserve is close and limited, moreover isn’t enough to meet internal demand on oil for house.
In this section, I would like to share my opinion about my supporting with government decision.
Many countries aren’t oil producers. They import everyday. While oil price raises upper $ 100 USD per barrel, they continue and still import. Oil is expensive so their government doesn’t give subsidies. The people have been enduring living in this condition. The people live without subsidies.
In natural perfection, if we live in subsidy condition, it means we are sick, lazy, and more. We haven’t willingness to work, we haven’t effort. Subsidy makes us lazy. While we are lazy in years, then the government decides to reduce oil subsidies, we make demonstration to stop the government policy.
That is Indonesians, where subsidies are reduced we cry and say a swearword to government. We live in the wrong condition. Soeharto’s Policy is best. When he became president (dictator president), he tried to make some policies or strategies in order to his lifetime president. He gave subsidies in many goods, rice, oil, import goods and more.
In the past, while Indonesians became net exporter, their people can live in subsidies because of profit from oil. Indonesians had been living in subsidies so then Indonesians become net importer, the government doesn’t have more money for subsiding. To payback our debt to World Bank and to donor countries, government is confuse.
The Indonesians don’t want to know, close their eyes and say, we want subsidy. We say, we are the rich countries, why no subsidies? Yes! We are Indonesian and our habits are like that. We wish living in the good conditions, cheaper goods and services.
Hey Indonesians, we aren’t the rich countries if we live in the subsidy. Subsidy make us lazy, no willingness to effort.
