The editors declare that, The Finance Ministrys numbers policy is no policy, because, It is not leading to economic stability. Yediot Ahronot says that public sector cuts are inevitable, necessary and the right thing to do, since raising taxes is politically and economically out of the question. The editors claim that, Since the intifada, the public sector has lived in a greenhouse; it has grown fat, expanded and absorbed additional workers at a time when the business sector has been on a diet, and add, Whoever doesnt understand this can strike, obstruct, inflict damage and show solidarity
in vain.
