The centre-right MP underscores how the additional tax revenues derived from the bonuses were far less than the total cost of the same to state coffers. “Thus the hypothesis dear to the Conte people that the zero cost of the super bonus disappears into thin air, leading instead and conversely to further aggravation of the public debt that will have to be repaid in the future.“Foti continues,” he continues.Instead of apologizing to 5-Star voters for supporting Draghi’s government, the Grillino leader should apologize for doing so. Burning major economic resources Which can be invested in pensions, schools or health care“, he adds.
