THE BUDGET FOR THE YEAR 2000

    Most analysts believe that the budget for the year 2000 presented by the government is feasible, but many points used to design the budget depend on negotiations with Congress. “If first impressions are confirmed, the budget corresponds to reality”, says former Central Bank President Affonso Celso Pastore. According to the Chief Economist for Citibank, the budget is feasible but not easy to accomplish.
    Specialists say that the government would have to reduce monthly expenses immediately until the end of the year from R$ 3.5 billion to R$ 2.87 billion, which would correspond to a 20% reduction. “It’s quite a tight budget”, said former Minister Maílson da Nóbrega. The main problem is that state employees’ salaries have been raised and an extra R$ 3.1 billion will have to be paid next year.

14- Analysts predict
( A ) a necessary cut in the public expenditure
( B ) a further increase in state employees’ salaries
( C ) a considerable surplus for the public sector
( D ) a substantial change in the fiscal responsibility law
( E ) a huge technological investment

15- According to the text, the state employees’salaries
( A ) must have been reduced
( B ) have not been negotiated
( C ) must be taken into account
( D ) represent a 20% cut in the budget
( E ) have undoubtedly been neglected

16- In connection to the budget for year 2000, analysts believe that it
( A ) ought to be designed by the Congress
( B ) might be achieved
( C ) is hardly attainable
( D ) will be increased by 20%
( E ) has been endorsed by the Congress

NEW POLICIES TO FIT THE NEW ECONOMY

    Growing Prosperity: The battle for Growth with Equity in the 21^st Century, written by two liberal economists, represents a breakthrough in the political debate over the New Economy. This is the first book that lays out a progressive economic policy designed to encourage technology-driven growth, while ameliorating bad consequences such as widening income disparity and excessive dependence on a volatile stock market.
    According to the authors, Barry Bluestone and Bennett Harrison, Washington policymakers have been excessively fixated on low inflation and a balanced budget. Bluestone and Harrison term this the “Wall Street” model of growth. This model, if carried into the future, will make it difficult to sustain prosperity over the long run. For one thing, the drive to cut the budget deficit has constrained spending on research and development, education, and infrastructure. Over time, they say, this will slow the rate of technological innovation – the equivalent of eating the seed corn.

17- The authors of the present book emphasize the need to
( A ) reduce research on technology
( B ) have stronger trade unions
( C ) offer higher minimum wages
( D ) keep continuous technological innovation
( E ) maintain low consumer spending

18- One aspect which is not approached by Bluestone and Harrison is the
( A ) volatile stock market
( B ) income disparity
( C ) balanced budget
( D ) spending on research
( E ) tributary reform
