In this regard, Su Qiaohui went to Ruifang Sijiao Pavilion Ji'an Palace this morning to welcome the Virgin Mary in heaven. When interviewed by the media, she pointed out that regarding rail construction and MRT, the Ministry of Transportation actually made it very clear, "Wherever the rail construction goes, subsidies will be provided, and not a cent will be missing."
As for the general distribution of 10,000 yuan, Su Qiaohui explained that in fact, because the country's economic governance was good and the government's efficiency was high, the tax revenue of the entire people could reach a new high. Therefore, all party legislators had this idea at the time, and she represented the opinions of all party legislators to express to the president that since the government is well governed and the country's economy is good, can the dividends of AI be shared by all the people?
Su Qiaohui emphasized that the reason for the general distribution of 10,000 yuan now is because everyone's economic results and economic growth rate are so good, and it is not through borrowing. Therefore, under the premise of "financial affordability" and "the economy is good without borrowing", President Lai decided to distribute 10,000 yuan to everyone to share the AI dividend. "I think this is a good thing, and we all support it." She also hopes that Taiwan's economy will be this good every year in the future.
