Leo Leiderman is a victim of the most macabre invention in Israeli history: The Committee for the Appointment of Senior Public Officials.

Leo Leiderman understands that extraordinary times call for unconventional methods, but his basic conservatism remians.

The public will not accept that the man who runs the country's monetary policy be a man suspected of financial misdeeds.

The Labor Party's economic platform is built on fantasies and ignores the tough questions.

The public should not buy the calming messages and realize that this war will cost a heavy economic price that we will all have to pay.

Netanyahu who stars in all the surveys as the most successful minister of finance in Israel's history, has as prime minister committed every fiscal sin possible.

Stanley Fisher arrived unprepared for yesterday's cabinet meeting on the defense budget, and he did not know the material.

A simple calculation shows that postponing the budget will prevent an additional NIS 1.1 billion a month, on average, in spending.

Cancelling exemptions on advanced training funds, VAT on fruits and vegetables, Eilat, and the betterment tax - can generate NIS 6 billion more.

It is already important to make clear: raising VAT, the main indirect tax, by 1 percentage point is a fait accompli.

However, Prof. Avi Ben-Bassat says that rising prices are not entirely the government's fault.
