📌FM Nirmala Sitharaman differentiates "FREEBIES vs Welfare" 🗣️ “Whether Centre or State, any Govt announcing welfare schemes must first ask: Is it BUDGETED? Is it SUSTAINABLE for five years? If yes, it should NOT be called a FREEBIE. When 80% of tax revenue goes to committed expenditure, only 20%... show more

Streight forward answer is there : any thing which BJP throws away from budget for buying votes is not freebie but any thing which other party does it is... it is same like congress is corrupt but BJP is taking professional charges which will not be called corruption. They have changed the meaning of everything as per their comfort. Freebie is freebie , you support it through budget or from anything.. these jumla statment does not change the meaning. Govt sucks blood of tax payers and throwing free for buying vote and then FM justifying it with statement, doesnt change the meaning. For once give it from their party fund then we will see how they justify it.. when u have key to treasury throw anything in drain because it is not your money. These are shamless ppl who will justify selling nation as well. And what @ARanganathan72 was expecting from @nsitharaman that she will accept that it is freebie.. how illogical is this.

Very primitive argument- Money is a finite resource , there will always be options as to where should Money be spent in the budget, as example either you can buy rafale or you can give to people as welfare. Just because we have money in budget, welfare shouldn't be default.

if "revenue diversification" means taxing the compliant salaried class more, plugging every tax-saving option, ignoring major GST leakages, and writing off large corporate defaults at deep discounts, then the burden-sharing seems seriously skewed. @nsitharaman

@nsitharaman shamelessly tells that she will plan for 100% freebies and then it cant be called a freebie. So all of taxpayers money will go to freebies. @ARanganathan72 @narendramodi has officially implemented jiziya tax.

@nsitharaman all parties shud be stopped from offering freebies prior to elections, simple. Even if it can be budgeted its a vicious cycle of making people lazy & reliant on govt. instead make them work & offer higher wages. Agree ? @nsitharamanoffc @ARanganathan72

@ARanganathan72 seemed to let @nsitharaman off hook on question of taxing farm income. Her response on MDR was that it doesn't go into the Centre's tax kitty. By that logic, why not tax agri income too & earmark the proceeds for the Agri Ministry or to build new fertilizer plants

I hope @nsitharaman faced some tough questioning from @ARanganathan72 in this interview. He seemed far more restrained than his usual TV panel persona. Had someone else offered the same explanation, I suspect he would have dismantled that argument completely.

State Police: For Sustainable Federalism to Work, FG’s Revenue Allocation Should Not Exceed 40% — Soludo I see the issue of state police as part of a march toward a more functional and effective federal structure. State policing should not be viewed in isolation. It must be understood within the context of the unfinished business of building a sustainable federal security and justice system. However, one critical point missing from this entire conversation is the increasing devolution of functions from the Exclusive Legislative List to the Concurrent List, without corresponding and drastic revisions to the revenue allocation formula. The Federal Government still retains 53% of federation revenue, while states get 26%. Prof. Chukwuma Soludo, Governor of Anambra State

Governor DeSantis URGES voters to vote YES on Amendment 3. DeSantis says this is the ONLY CHANCE we will have at property tax relief. “Eight years ago the total amount of property tax revenue taken by local governments was $31 billion. Today it's $61 BILLION . So it's basically doubled in eight years. It’s projected five years from now to be $84 BILLION in revenue so how do you go over a 15 year period from $31 to $84 billion?? Is that sustainable? I don’t think it’s sustainable.”

More revenue from FAAC? When revenue increases, the real question is what that increase can actually do after accounting for the rising cost of expenditure. Because more naira is not the same as more value. This is why Reset Nigeria must begin with the numbers. How much is coming in? What does it now cost to run government? And what can every naira actually deliver for Nigerians? RESET THE QUESTION. RESET NIGERIA. #ResetNigeria #NigeriaFirst #MakindeDaura2027

VIDEO | In an exclusive interview with PTI, Axis My India Chairman Pradeep Gupta says, "You people call it 'freebies', I would say it is not just freebies, but look at it in a different way. What does freebies mean? Basically, what is the job of the government? The government has only two main jobs, nothing else, to collect taxes, and to spend the collected revenue for public welfare. It has to spend it on different facilities and systems. At one point of time, it has to spend on roads, electricity, water, health, education, infrastructure, law and order, defence, etc... Earlier we used to say, even Rajiv Gandhi said, that out of every Rs 100, only Rs 15 reached the people; lots of leakages. Now, if benefits are given directly in cash, and it is expected that people will use it wisely for their betterment, then I feel that leakage reduces first of all, and secondly, delivery becomes faster."

The federal government now spends twice what it takes in tax revenue. While debt service alone eats nearly 2/3 of individual income tax. So when you write that check to the IRS next month, rest easy knowing most of it is going to Wall Street and China. The federal spending borg is eating everything in sight, crapping out wars and welfare for migrants. And leaving the people they serve to fight over the crumbs.

Morgan Stanley just raised their 2027 AI capex forecast to $1.1 trillion and that number still doesn't include SpaceX or a lot of the other AI companies (Save this). When you factor those in, the real 2027 figure is probably closer to $1.5 trillion and AI lab inference revenue combined is tracking toward $300 billion in 2027. On its surface that ratio sounds alarming, spending $1.5 trillion in capex to generate $300 billion in revenue. But the framing collapses the moment you examine two things the bears consistently ignore, gross margins and the revenue trajectory. Gross margins on inference revenue are running at 60 to 70 percent. That means the $300 billion in inference revenue generates $180 to $210 billion in gross profit and that number compounds rapidly as utilization scales on infrastructure that is already built and paid for. The Capex is not being deployed against today's revenue but rather being deployed against a revenue trajectory that has shown no signs of decelerating. To understand how aggressive that trajectory actually is, consider that Morgan Stanley's $1.1 trillion hyperscaler forecast is nearly double what analysts projected for the same year just twelve months ago And they described the demand as inelastic, meaning it is not slowing down regardless of rising costs, tighter financing conditions or geopolitical risk. The AI industry ended 2025 tracking well over $200 billion in combined inference revenue and the growth rate since then has continued to accelerate rather than flatten. Anthropic alone scaled from negligible revenue to a $30 billion annualized run rate in approximately 18 months while OpenAI is tracking toward $280 billion in annual revenue by 2030 from $13 billion in 2025. There is also a structural reality in the capex number that the bears never account for. Roughly 35 percent of total AI spending goes toward training, building the next model generation which is not revenue-generating in the current period. That means only about 65 percent of the $1.5 trillion in capex is actually deployed against the inference infrastructure that earns revenue today. When you apply the 60 to 70 percent gross margin to the revenue that sits on top of that 65 percent figure, the economics look substantially better than the headline capex to revenue ratio implies. Every CEO who has been closest to this buildout has consistently underestimated it and Jensen Huang projected $1 trillion in AI capex two years ago and was called delusional. Dario Amodei said in early 2026 that AI revenues would reach the low hundreds of billions by 2028 and trillions before 2030 and given where Anthropic's own revenue trajectory is today, he is likely revising those numbers upward. The pattern here is consistent, every time someone models the revenue ceiling, the actual number breaks through it faster than expected. Come join Milk Road Pro for our full breakdown, the real unit economics of the AI inference buildout, how the capex to revenue ratio evolves over the next three years, and our entire AI thesis!

Even by an accountant’s standards, it was a poor account of the management of the finances in 2025-26. Revenue receipts were short by Rs 78,086 crore, total expenditure was short by Rs 1,00,503 crore. Revenue expenditure was short by Rs 75,168 crore and capital expenditure was cut by Rs 1,44,376 crore (Centre Rs 25,335 crore and States Rs 1,19,041 crore). Not a word was said to explain this miserable performance. Actually, the Centre’s capital expenditure has fallen from 3.2 per cent of GDP in 2024-25 to 3.1 per cent in 2025-26. In revenue expenditure, the cuts have fallen in heads that concern the common people. Examples: ⦁ Rural Development: Rs 53,067 crore ⦁ Urban Development: Rs 39,573 crore ⦁ Social Welfare: Rs 9,999 crore ⦁ Agriculture: Rs 6,985 crore ⦁ Education: Rs 6,701 crore ⦁ Health: Rs 3,686 crore Funds have been cut in crucial sectors and programmes. Expenditure on the much-vaunted Jal Jeevan Mission was cruelly cut from Rs 67,000 crore to a paltry Rs 17,000 crore. (In 2026-27, it has been boosted to Rs 67,670 crore, but what credibility does the number have?) After the months-long exercise, the revised estimate of the fiscal deficit has adhered to the budget estimate of 4.4 per cent, and the projection for 2026-27 is that the fiscal deficit will fall by a meagre 0.1 per cent of GDP. The revenue deficit will remain at 1.5 per cent. It is certainly not a bold exercise in fiscal prudence and consolidation. The most serious criticism of the Budget speech is that the Finance Minister is not tired of adding to the number of schemes, programmes, missions, institutes, initiatives, funds, committees, hubs, etc. I counted at least 24. I leave it to your imagination how many of these will be forgotten and vanish by next year. : Former Finance Minister Shri P. Chidambaram

Impact After Term | 03 : Reducing the Revenue Deficit While Expanding Welfare When the DMK Government assumed office in 2021, Tamil Nadu was confronting one of the gravest fiscal crises in its history amid the devastating second wave of COVID-19. The State inherited a revenue deficit of nearly ₹62,000 crore alongside severe economic distress. With the support and guidance of the then Chief Minister Thiru. M.K.Stalin, Dr. Dr P Thiaga Rajan (PTR), as Minister for Finance & Human Resources Management, pursued structural reforms and welfare expansion despite severe fiscal constraints. The White Paper on State Finances released in August 2021 exposed the scale of fiscal stress and laid the foundation for long-term reforms, including data-centric governance measures aimed at improving beneficiary targeting and reducing leakages. Even during this crisis, the Government implemented welfare measures on an unprecedented scale — ₹4,000 COVID relief assistance and grocery support for 2.1 crore ration cardholders at a total cost of ₹9,370 crore; nearly ₹9,000 crore towards crop, jewel, and SHG loan waivers; over ₹2,200 crore for free bus travel for women; ₹698 crore for Pudhumai Penn; and a ₹3 per litre reduction in petrol tax despite an annual revenue impact of ₹1,160 crore. Despite these large-scale welfare commitments, unprecedented and difficult fiscal reforms helped reduce the inherited annual revenue deficit by roughly half within two years — demonstrating that fiscal discipline and social welfare need not be pursued at the expense of one another. — Admin Team

🚨 Californians CANNOT afford the Governor’s budget BS. While Governor Newsom is in Davos lecturing the world, California is in an economic mess. We have record state revenue driven by positive economic growth—yet for the first time in state history, California is facing its fourth consecutive budget deficit. That tells you everything. This is not a revenue problem. This is a spending problem. If we’re running deficits in good economic years, imagine how bad it will be in a downturn. Newsom’s budget proves why he shouldn’t be teaching anyone what to do unless it’s what NOT to do. As the new Budget Vice Chair, I’ll be the bad guy who demands fiscal restraint, accountability, and putting Californians first.

Through Finance Bill 2025, the government of Kenya is making a third attempt at introducing pay-to-play requirement when it comes to tax assessments issued by the Kenya Revenue Authority. Clause 42(v) of Finance Bill 2025 proposes to amend Section 42 of the Tax Procedures Act, Cap. 469B Laws of Kenya to allow the Commissioner of the Kenya Revenue Authority to issue an agency notice where a taxpayer has appealed against an assessment specified in a decision of the Tax Appeals Tribunal or court of law. We have seen similar proposals in the past via Finance Bill 2022 (which proposed that any appeal must be preceded by a deposit equivalent to 50.0% of the amount in contest) & via Finance Bill 2024 (which proposed that any appeal must be preceded by a deposit equivalent to 20.0% of the contested amount) This afternoon I joined colleagues from the Tax Research Centre at Strathmore University in challenging this proposal.

🚨NEW: Devin Nunes makes clear federal aid to CA can't be another massive blank check: “Just like they've done for the last 20 years, California is going to run to the federal government and they're going to ask for money." "I think President Trump, and the Republicans in Congress will say, look, we're just not going to keep doing the same thing again." “It all should be built back, but it has to be built back when California decides that they're actually going to use the water infrastructure that's been built in the state for the last 100 years." This is common sense. Strings to aid must be attached.

For the first time since 2017, the National Lottery Authority has presented a dividend to Government, paying GH¢10 million. This is a welcome step, but it must not be symbolic. The Ghanaian taxpayer deserves more. I am working with the Attorney-General to complete, this month, a review of agreements that have unreasonably ceded NLA revenue to others at the expense of the State. The NLA must focus on its core mandate and deliver full value to the people. Ghana has lost enough. I will ensure that every pesewa due the State from the NLA is paid.

Seun: What are the immediate challenges that you think that Mr Taiwo Oyedele should be prepared for, especially because of his experience as a tax advisor and also head of the presidential committee on tax reforms? Wale Edun: I think we need to grow the economy. In order to grow the economy, we need to find funding on the government side. Yes, there is a role for the government to play in critical infrastructure funding. The so-called pillars for investment, and in order to do that, we need to boost revenue. So we really need to use automation, digitisation, even AI and other technology to increase government revenue, and he [Oyedele] is clearly an expert in the tax and fiscal area. That's his training, that's his background, and that's his most recent task that the government has given him. The next step, and it must come quickly and at scale, is to have investment that increases productivity, grows the economy, creates jobs, and gives people income that reduces poverty, and I must emphasise this. That the whole point of the president's Renewed Hope Agenda and action plan is to reduce poverty in the land. #PoliticsToday

THIS IS ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS. OpenAI and Anthropic are losing money on every dollar they make. OpenAI generated $20 billion in revenue in 2025 and is projected to lose $14 billion in the same year. Internal forecasts project cumulative losses hitting $44 billion by 2028. The company's own CFO warned executives in April 2026 that OpenAI might struggle to finance upcoming computing deals if revenue growth slows. Anthropic reached $4.3 billion in annualized revenue in April 2026 against $19 billion in total costs. It spends $3 to make $1, and is not expected to stop burning cash until 2027. Now look at what these two companies have committed to spend. OpenAI and Anthropic together have committed $1.05 trillion in cloud spending to Microsoft, Oracle, Google and Amazon, making up 43 to 54% of each provider's entire future revenue backlog. - Microsoft: $627B total backlog. OpenAI and Anthropic account for 49%. - Oracle: $553B total backlog. OpenAI alone accounts for 54%. - Google: $467.6B total backlog. Anthropic accounts for 43%. - Amazon: $464B total backlog. OpenAI and Anthropic account for 51%. The entire cloud industry's future revenue is a bet on two companies losing billions every quarter. Microsoft, Alphabet, Meta and Amazon are collectively expected to spend $725 billion in capex in 2026, almost entirely on AI infrastructure. Combined hyperscaler capex from 2025 to 2027 is projected at $1.15 trillion, more than double what was spent from 2022 to 2024. What is the return on all of this? McKinsey's 2025 State of AI survey found that only a minority of companies reported AI meaningfully increased revenue or reduced costs. Enterprise generative AI spending grew from $1.7 billion in 2023 to $37 billion in 2025 and most CIOs still describe their initiatives as pilots without clear ROI metrics. Microsoft's AI business is running at a $37 billion annual revenue run rate with 123% year over year growth. That sounds impressive until you realize most of the capex funding is justified by expected future AI revenue rather than current AI profit. The internet burned money for years before it became the most profitable industry in history. But right now $1 trillion in committed cloud spend, $725 billion in annual capex, two loss-making customers making up half of every major cloud provider's revenue backlog, and the enterprises writing the checks cannot tell you if any of it is working.

THIS IS ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS. OpenAI and Anthropic are losing money on every dollar they make. OpenAI generated $20 billion in revenue in 2025 and is projected to lose $14 billion in the same year. Internal forecasts project cumulative losses hitting $44 billion by 2028. The company's own CFO warned executives in April 2026 that OpenAI might struggle to finance upcoming computing deals if revenue growth slows.

When you pay sales tax, your money goes up to Ottawa and Queen’s Park. I’m moving a motion for Toronto to finally receive a share of the HST, to invest in the services you rely on here in your city, every day. Please sign the petition: It’s budget season again in Toronto and the cracks are showing between the City’s revenue and the services that the City is expected to provide. For decades, provincial and federal governments have downloaded responsibilities to the City including roads, shelters, courts, daycare, public health and more. Today, approximately 27% of Toronto’s property tax revenue is spent funding extensions of federal and provincial responsibilities. But even as Toronto is told to take on more, the province prescribes what revenue tools are available to the City, and has restricted them almost exclusively to taxes on property. Toronto is one of Canada’s primary economic engines. The Toronto region generates 20% of the national GDP, 20% of Ontario’s jobs, and attracts more than 28 million annual visitors. This level of economic activity is enabled by the investments our city has made in social and civic infrastructure, including affordable housing, public health, roads and transit. We host people from across the country and around the world at events like Taylor Swift concerts, the World Series, and the FIFA games, which generates tens of millions of dollars in tax revenue for the provincial and federal governments. Meanwhile, the City shoulders the costs of additional policing, emergency services, transit, and crowd management that make these events possible. The math doesn’t work. Without any other source of revenue, municipalities have been forced to hike property taxes, cut vital services and delay critical infrastructure investments just to stay afloat. If Toronto is expected to continue driving national prosperity, it must be granted access to revenue tools that are predictable, reflect our investments, and grow with the economy. No more “new deals”. No more begging for one-time ad hoc program funding. It’s time for Toronto to have a fair share of the HST.

Elon Musk Says We Have to Cut Government Spending Immediately "The reality is that all government spending is actually taxation. Sometimes people think some of it is taxation and some of it's not, but it's all taxation, because the part that is not covered by tax revenue becomes inflation. So you're either taxed directly or you're taxed by inflation, but you are for sure taxed. And so all government spending is taxation. So we have to reduce government spending overall. This will be forced upon us in the future because already just the interest payments on the debt are 23% of all federal tax revenue. Just the interest payments. The interest payments now exceed the Defense Department budget, which is a trillion dollars a year. That's a lot of money." Elon Musk

Debate of Ex Mining Chairman vs Present Mining Chairman 1. Till 2014 Sand Mining revenue was only Rs.39crores 2. When Sand price was Rs.645 per tonne , Timing of Sand Mining was just 6am to 6pm, Service Rate was only Rs.3 , then BRS Govt reached State Revenue Rs.800 crore mark 3. Now when Sand Bazars are selling Rs.1500 per tonne and also additional burden of transportation charges , Service Charge increased to Rs.100 , Timing increased 6am to 9pm, then why is State Revenue still Rs.900crore should it not be doubled to Rs.1700 - Rs.1800crore 4. How can we expect a fair CID Enquiry on Minister Ponguleti's Raghava Constructions illegal mining, last time when Minister's son's company was booked in Land Grabbing, the honest Inspector was immediately transferred for filing an FIR ....
