藍白無財源強升老農津貼 楊儒門:猶如殺雞取卵

Quick Look

立法院藍白黨團強行三讀通過將老農津貼調升至1萬5千元,並回溯至今年7月。248農學市集召集人楊儒門對此表示,雖認同政府應償還過往剝削農民之債,但若排擠其他農業發展資源,恐將導致殺雞取卵的後果。

Why It Matters

立法院通過將老農津貼調升至1萬5千元,農業部曾多次表示財源不足。楊儒門指出,老農津貼源於政府早期對農業的剝削,本質上是政府欠農民的債。

立法院藍白黨團今(6日)不顧財源,強行三讀通過調升老農津貼到1萬5千元,比政院版的1萬元還多5千,且從今年7月開始回溯,農業部多次表達「發不出來」;248農學市集召集人楊儒門認為,老農津貼一開始就不該是津貼,應回顧過往政府剝削老農歷史,提倡「欠債還錢」,但不該排擠其他農業發展,否則猶如「殺雞取卵」。

楊儒門表示,早期50年代政府要用以農業培養工業,推動「肥料換穀」、「隨賦徵購」、「田賦徵實」等,剝削農民收穫,掠奪有價資產,之後才延伸出透過「老農津貼」補貼農友當時損失,故認為老農津貼本質上不是「福利」,應該是政府欠老農的債,「欠債要還錢」。

但楊儒門強調,每次選舉一到,老農津貼就紛紛加碼,他重申,調升方式應由政府財政規劃下可負擔的狀況來進行,舉例法國近期暴亂,就是政府長期把錢挪到老人照護與退休金,結果年輕人連上課都沒老師;如果老農津貼的金額會排擠到其他未來農業發展,如青農補助、農機補助、相關技術、耕地、育種、新式栽種、行銷通路品牌經營等,那就猶如「殺雞取卵」。

楊儒門形容,在台灣沒有個人會反對可以拿到手的錢,但要問的問題是,如果拿到手的錢,短期領得很開心,但後面農機補助取消、小地主大佃農獎勵沒有、新種育苗無法研發,甚至灌排水路無經費巡護及維修,那對農業乃至農民個人,實際上並無幫助。
