Why is it so easy to rob the central bank?

What a ripoff. According to the 7th Pay Commission salaries of central government employees will be increased by a massive 23.55% and the minimum salary will be Rs 18,000. Pensions will go up 24%. Wonderful. So who were the most esteemed members of this bountiful Pay Commission? A retired judge, a serving government officer and the Director of NIPFP and its secretary was again a serving government officer. Never heard of NIPFP? The heading of its homepage says 'Department of Revenue', another government department, like thousands of others, engaged in research. Presumably all 3 gentlemen and the one lady have everything to gain from these enormous hikes. Interestingly, there was no one to represent the interest of the hapless taxpayer who is going to have to pay for all these handouts with higher taxes. The minimum pay for armed forces officers has been increased to Rs 15,500. How very generous. So, our soldiers who risk their lives for the nation are going to be paid Rs 2,500 less than a sweeper in a government office. Government teachers do not teach, clerks will sit on files unless bribed and the top officials, who will now get salaries of Rs 250,000 per month, were not taking decisions because they were frightened of being accused of dishonesty. Why were they afraid? Because when new ministers come in they do not know how the government runs, what the laws are and how policies are framed. Civil servants are around for ever. All the scams under the Congress had civil servants at their center. Indian civil servants have been repeatedly rated the worst in Asia. Although the Supreme Court said last year that no permission is needed to investigate a corrupt officer, they have the power to make any investigation as difficult as possible and, since court cases drag on forever, they have little to fear. Their salaries have multiplied by an eye-watering 225 times in the last 56 years. They are always compared with private sector, which is an absolute canard. The private sector is productive, creates jobs and engineers economic growth. Civil servants, on the other hand, are toll collectors, who pocket our money to issue licenses for industries to create wealth or give us various permissions, for example to build a house, get a water connection or an electricity meter, with our hard earned money. In the private sector you are given targets to achieve and will be fired if you do not perform. Civil servants have permanent posts and maybe transferred but cannot be sacked. They get an assured pension and free healthcare through the CGHS system. This is akin to a robbery of the nation's bank. It is going to add another Rs 1 trillion to government expenditure. The agitation for reservations by Patels is just a start. Expect all out war as every community fights for a portion of the loot.
