The Fallacy of the President Regarding Lowering Congress Costs

The article critiques President Claudia Sheinbaum's approach to reducing the costs of Congress, drawing parallels with AMLO's style of governance and emphasizing a lack of technical solutions.

The article discusses President Claudia Sheinbaum's strategy of attempting to reduce the financial burden of Congress, arguing that her approach mirrors that of her predecessor, President Lopez Obrador (AMLO), who often confuses problems with mere remedies. It points out a significant discrepancy in annual spending per legislator across different states; for instance, Baja California spends 34 million per legislator while Colima only spends 5 million, highlighting inefficiencies in government spending. The author suggests that if the federal government genuinely aimed for austerity and better parliamentary performance, it would need to implement structural changes rather than relying solely on Congress to function as a rubber stamp for executive decisions.
