Blue and White recently proposed priority bills such as a universal cash payment of 20,000 yuan and an increase in subsidies for old farmers to 15,000 yuan to support the nine-in-one general election. Democratic Progressive Party legislator Zhong Jiabin called on the opposition parties to quickly pass the Executive Yuan version and the supplementary budget so that the people can receive an allowance of 10,000 yuan for veteran farmers. If you really feel that it is not enough, you can continue to come up with proposals and discuss them with the Executive Yuan next year. This is the right thing to do.

Zhong Jiabin pointed out that because the election is approaching, the opposition parties have suddenly expressed their intention to increase the number of people's welfare policies introduced by the Executive Yuan. He said the general cash payment of 10,000 yuan was not enough and wanted to pay 20,000 yuan; the old farmer allowance he said 10,000 yuan was not enough and he said 15,000 yuan was needed.

Zhong Jiabin questioned that if the opposition party was so concerned about the people's welfare, it should have clearly stated how much financial resources could be used to provide how much welfare when the Executive Yuan promoted the interim regulations on January 15 this year. When reviewing this year's budget, it was delayed until mid-August, so that the budget required for these welfare policies could not be carried out.

"The DPP will not propose other versions!" Zhong Jiabin emphasized that according to the provisions of the "Constitution" and "Budget Law", the welfare of the people must be stipulated in law, unless the Executive Yuan is consulted or an appropriate legal source is found. The Legislative Yuan can only delete but not add to the budget.
