Government expenditure The Women's Alliance has continually warned against a deficit on the national budget and pointed out methods of economization and new means of increasing income. Our suggestions have been ignored with the following results. Despite a good year and a favourable outlook for future pros- perity our national debts have increased and the problems postponed to be dealt with by future generations. The Women's Alliance criticizes the government for their irresponsible use of our collective wealth and we emphasize other priorities for expenditure. It is absurd to spend hundreds of millions of krónur yearly for the construction of power plants when we can now harness more energy than is needed. It would instead be appropriate to allocate more to educa- tion and research which would thus strengthen the basis for new growth and de- velopment within our economy. The millions poured into futile negotiations with large foreign companies would have been better used for conservation and improving conditions for our tourist trade. The Women's Alliance would have liked to use the millions which were spent on the new air terminal for more essential tasks such as the construction of airstrips in rural areas. Entertainment and travel expenses of government employees in the past years have been more than the combined allocations to the construction of day-care centres, primary schools, and health centres nationwide. We condemn the govern- ment's value judgments. The misguided priorities of the last government has resulted in the national government now being in debt to the municipalities. This is the situation in government expenditure when the voice of the practical and economical housewife goes unheard. 40
