Blue and White criticize the President for his double standards! The DPP named Jiang Wanan and Huang Guochang: 40 billion is burned every year, "Where does the money come from?"

DPP spokesperson Li Kuncheng responded to Blue and White’s questioning of the president’s affirmation of Pingtung County’s elderly health insurance subsidy as a double standard, pointing out that Pingtung County compiled its own budget to promote welfare after assessing its financial capabilities, which is in line with the principle of no debt and no crowding out. The amendment to the Elderly Welfare Law passed by Blue and White will increase annual expenditures by nearly 40 billion yuan, but does not face up to the issues of financial resources and generational justice. He emphasized that welfare policies need to take into account sustainability and should not be used as a political offensive and defensive tool.

Xiaocao questioned why the Legislative Yuan could not increase the budget. He used Ke Wenzhe as an example of accepting bribes.

Lawyer Lin Zhiqun criticized the passage of the 22nd Amendment to the Elderly Welfare Law at the third reading as unconstitutional. He pointed out that it is an iron law that the Legislative Yuan cannot increase the budget. Just changing the name of the health insurance subsidy to "political donation" does not mean it is legal. He also ridiculed supporters for thinking that changing the name can avoid illegality. Similar to the logic of receiving a red envelope and writing "political donation", it is not a bribe.
