sunt un un român bogat...doar ca partea mea este administrata de un stat care nare ERP

Să începem cu veştile proaste. Datoria externă a României, în februarie 2015, era de 93,6 miliarde euro. Pare mult, dacă ne întrebăm unde s-au dus banii. Să continuăm cu veştile bune. Enciclopedia Economiei Resurselor Minerale din România, apărută pe piaţă recent, arată că situaţia resurselor naturale ale ţării este absolut strălucitoare.
La pagina 28 a Enciclopediei este prezentat un tabel cu principalele rezerve de resurse minerale, pe cantităţi. Astfel, avem rezerve de 2.800 de milioane de tone de lignit, care, la preţul actual de 50 de euro pe tonă, ar însemna un “potenţial naţional” de 140 de miliarde de euro. Avem, de asemenea, 900 de milioane de tone de huilă, care, la preţul actual de 53 de euro pe tonă, dau 47,7 miliarde de euro.
Zăcămintele de cupru sunt estimate şi ele la 900 de milioane de tone, la o concentraţie de minimum 16% cupru curat; la preţul de 400 de euro pe tonă, ar reprezenta 51,7 miliarde de euro.

Ne-am putea plăti datoria externă… de şapte ori!

Sarea, în cantitate de 4.000 de milioane de tone, la preţul de 1 leu/25 de kilograme, dă 35,6 miliarde de euro. Zăcămintele de aur, despre care Libertatea a mai scris, se ridică la aproximativ 146 de miliarde de euro, iar argintul, la 6,8 miliarde de euro.
Minereurile polimetalice sunt şi ele foarte bogate. Într-o tonă de minereu polimetalic se găsesc 10 grame de molibden, câte 30 de grame de nichel şi de cobalt, 50 de grame de crom, 300 de grame de galiu, 1.000 de grame de titan, 2.500 de grame de vanadiu şi 5.000 de grame de arseniu. Conform Enciclopediei Resurselor Minerale, în România există 90 de milioane de tone de minereuri polimetalice. Preţul mediu al acestor metale este 38 de euro kilogramul. Făcând înmulţirile de rigoare, putem afla că există 900 de tone de molibden în zăcământ, de exemplu, la preţul total actualizat de 34.335.000 de euro.
Alt exemplu: avem 450.000 de tone de arseniu în zăcământ, la valoarea de 17.167.500.000 de euro – desigur, preţul mediu al pieţei. În fine, preţul total la polimetale se ridică la 30,6 miliarde de euro. La capitolul petrol şi gaze, estimările sunt relative, ţinând cont de faptul că nu ştim cu exactitate ce conţine platforma continentală a Mării Negre. Oricum, estimările făcute în această primăvară arată că încă am avea rezerve de petrol în valoare de 179,7 miliarde de euro şi rezerve de gaz metan ce s-ar ridica la aproximativ 28,7 miliarde de euro.
Aşadar, în total, valoarea zăcămintelor minerale în România s-ar ridica la peste 666 miliarde de euro. Menţionăm că de aici lipsesc unele zăcăminte mai “sensibile”, cum sunt cele de uraniu, care nu pot fi divulgate. Concluzia este că avem bunuri subterane prin care ne putem plăti datoria externă actuală de şapte ori. Se pune însă întrebarea: de ce am mai făcut această datorie, dacă avem asemenea valori în ţară?

Actuala Lege a Petrolului dezavantajează România

Enciclopedia Economiei Resurselor Minerale din România (foto) atrage atenţia asupra faptului că Legea Petrolului 238/2004, comparativ cu legile anterioare din 1924, 1029, 1937, 1942, “nu împlineşte o serie de deziderate”, printre care:
Legea nu face nici o menţiune privind obligaţia la o exploatare raţională a zăcămintelor de petrol şi gaze
Nu desemnează un Institut de Cercetări românesc care să verifice şi să avizeze documentaţiile elaborate de concesionari, tehnologiile şi soluţiile tehnice aplicate
Nu există un organism de monitorizare şi control (similar fostei poliţii miniere) a producţiei extrase, a operaţiunilor petroliere executate pe zăcământ, de verificare a exactităţii datelor înscrise în cadastrul petrolier şi în cartea petrolieră.

Condiţiile de ocupare a suprafeţelor aparţinând terţilor încalcă dreptul de folosinţă şi de dispoziţie a proprietarilor privaţi în folosul concesionarilor.
Legea Petrolului nu este în acord cu legislaţia financiară, iar în privinţa comercializării produselor petroliere, care reprezintă un monopol, nu există nici o lege sau reglementare legală menită să limiteze creşterea nejustificată a preţurilor sau comercializarea produselor petroliere neconforme ori contrafăcute.

Cea mai rapidă revoluţie din economie: În trei ani, toată România va avea un smartphone, ceea ce va schimba foarte multe lucruri în business


astăzi, 00:07Autor: Ioana Nita




Piaţa de smartphone-uri se îndreaptă spre 4,2 milioane de unităţi în 2016, plus 20% faţă de anul trecut. În acest ritm, în circa 3 ani, fiecare român va avea un smartphone.
Vânzările de smartphone-uri au înregistrat un avans de 20% în primul semestru al anului, ajungând la 1,5 milioane de unităţi, cât în tot anul 2013. Gradul de penetrare al smartphone-urilor în rândul populaţiei se situează în prezent la 50%, ceea ce înseamnă că aproximativ 10 milioane de români utilizează un telefon mobil inteligent. În condiţiile în care ritmul actual de creştere se va menţine, rata de penetrare a smartphone-urilor va ajunge la 100% în România până în 2020.
„În prezent circa ju­mă­ta­te din totalul utiliza­torilor de te­le­fonie mobilă din Ro­mânia fo­losesc un smart­phone. Ţi­nând cont de rit­mul accele­rat de adopţie al smartphone-uri­lor, proba­bil în circa 3 ani, ma­ximum patru ani, rata de pene­tra­re se va în­drepta către 100%. Aceasta nu va atinge nici­odată 100% pen­tru că mereu vor exista şi utilizatori de «feature phones»“, a declarat Cristian Cojocaru, şeful diviziei de telecom a Samsung România, subsidiara locală a celui mai mare producător de telefoane mobile din lume.

Cinci indicatori care arată în ce prăpastie este România, cinci indicatori ce trebuie să fie un „must have“ al noului guvern


20 nov 2015Autor: Adelina Mihai
Două milioane de gospodării din şapte milioane nu sunt racordate la sistemul de canalizare, o treime din populaţia aptă de muncă este pierdută în statistici la „alte categorii“, deficitul fodului de pensii ajunge la 40%, unu din trei absolvenţi nu trece de bacalaureat. Abia astfel de statistici indică ce uriaşă este distanţa între ce vrea România să fie şi ce este de fapt. 

Guvernul Cioloş, proaspăt instalat, spune că, având un mandat limitat, se va con­centra pe doar câteva pro­iecte majore, dar în aşa fel încât să facă drumul fără întoarcere. Creş­terea ratei de ocupare a populaţiei, ate­nua-rea deficitului la fondul de pensii, creşterea calităţii pregătirii elevilor, un plan de lucru pentru rezolvarea problemelor demogra­fice sunt doar o mică parte din problemele la care guvernul trebuie să mediteze.
ZF ridică în faţa guver­nului Cioloş - care ieri a avut prima sa şedinţă - cinci pro­bleme pentru care trebuie să se construiască scheme de îmbunătăţire, care să fie conti­nuate şi în guvernările viitoare: 2,6 milioane de români ocupaţi cu agricultura de sub­zis­tenţă, 20 mld. lei deficit la pensii, 33% din­tre absolvenţii de liceu nu iau bacalau­reatul, rata fertilităţii de 1,3 copii la o femeie şi peste 2 milioane de gospodării care nu sunt conectate la sistemele de apă şi ca­nalizare.

The Washington Post: o solutie Made in U.S.A. reducerea guvernului la minim, desfiintarea administratiei financiare si pastrarea doar a unei singure taxe “we should abolish the IRS and end its abuse of power and violation of Americans’ constitutional rights.”

What a Ted Cruz 

White House could 

mean for businesses

Comment 



Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Tex.) announced his intention to run for president in the 2016 
election during a speech at Liberty University in Lynchburg, Va. (AP)

Sen. Ted Cruz has officially kicked off the 2016 race for the White House, announcing his candidacy for president Monday and taking the first leap into what’s expected to be a crowded and competitive field for the GOP nomination.
Cruz has made quite a name for himself during his first two years in Washington. Championing a smaller government that doesn’t infringe on individual liberties, he has brazenly refused to back down from that call, even if it means infuriating his own party leadership or — in one instance — shutting down the government.
The Texas Republican has also been one of the loudest critics of what he likes to call the Obama economy, under which Cruz says the private sector has been overburdened by regulations and tax rules have been set up to benefit the rich. That combination has particularly plagued small businesses, he says — and that has to change.
“Every single time in our history that we have simplified taxes, reduced the burden, reduced the compliance cost, and simplified regulations so that small businesses, which create two-thirds of all new jobs, can do that, we’ve seen an economic boom,” Cruz said during an event in January, sharing a stage with Sens. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) and Rand Paul (R-Ky.), both of whom are also considering a run at the nomination.
So, what else would a Ted Cruz White House mean for business owners? Here are five things entrepreneurs and small employers should know.
He favors a flatter, simpler tax code — but keep the deduction expensing
Cruz has repeatedly stumped for a total overhaul of the U.S. tax system that leaves the country with a “simple flat tax.” Currently, he says, the systemfavors large corporations and wealthy individuals over small businesses and middle-class Americans, the latter of whom don’t have an army of lawyers and accountants to help them navigate a tax code that Cruz recently noted has “more words than the Bible.”
“We should let taxes become so simple that they could be filled out on a postcard,” Cruz wrote in a recent editorial column. Once that’s the case, he added, “we should abolish the IRS and end its abuse of power and violation of Americans’ constitutional rights.”
That said, there appear to be some permanent additions he would make to the tax code, including one that is intended to help small businesses but expired at the end of last year. In short, the rule allows small companies to immediately expense investments in, for example, buildings and large equipment. It’s one of several so-called “tax extenders” that tend to disappear at the end of every year, only to be retroactively reinstated by Congress months later.
During the forum with Rubio and Paul, Cruz identified that expensing rule as one of several “critical elements of the tax code.”
“Things like deducting business expenses that go right to small businesses. … I couldn’t in good conscience vote to strip away that tax treatment,” he added.
He wants to repeal Obamacare, rolling back regulations
Not a shred of gray area here. Cruz has spearheaded several attempts to defund the president’s signature legislative achievement, including a failed attempt in 2013 that eventually led to a 17-day shutdown of the federal government. And while some in his party have since shown a willingness to try to improve the law, Cruz hasn’t wavered from his pledge throw it out altogether.
In part, his distaste for Obamacare stems from its effects on small companies.
“Half of small businesses say they will either cut hours to reduce full-time employees or replace full-time employees with part-time workers to avoid the mandate,” Cruz said last year on the Senate floor, citing Chamber of Commerce surveys about rules that require some companies to provide health insurance to their employees. He later called the Affordable Care Act “the biggest job killer in this nation.”
Though recent data don’t quite support that level of hyperbole, the numbers don’t look good for small businesses under the health-care law. Surveys released last week by the National Federation of Independent Business suggest that premiums have continued to soar for small businesses, and one in 10 say they have had their plans cancelled as a result of new coverage requirements in the Affordable Care Act.
While Cruz has pointed to the health-care overhaul as the most egregious example of the Obama administration sticking its hands too far into the private sector, he says it’s hardly an anomaly.
“Over the last six years, federal regulators have been on small businesses like locusts,” Cruz said during a speech earlier this month in New Hampshire. He later emphasized that “the most effective levers the government has to facilitate the private sector and small business creating jobs are tax reform and regulatory reform.”
“If small business is prospering, growing and creating jobs and opportunities, that lifts all ships,” Cruz added.
He’s adamantly opposed to a higher minimum wage
One of several issues that have divided small-business owners is raising the minimum wage. Many employers have said that lifting the wage floor, as President Obama has fought so hard to do, would force them to pull back on hiring and even shrink their workforce. Others believe that consumer spending would tick up if workers had more money in their pockets, leading to stronger sales for their companies and an overall healthier economy.
Cruz, on the other hand, isn’t the least bit split. He has staunchly opposed raising the minimum wage.
“I think the minimum wage consistently hurts the most vulnerable,” Cruz said during the event with Rubio and Paul in January. When asked about raising the minimum, Cruz has repeatedly said that it would make it harder for Hispanics, African Americans, and young Americans — groups already facing high unemployment rates — to find work. That’s because companies that employ low-skill and entry-level workers may be forced to cut back on the number of minimum-wage employees they can afford to pay.
Cruz also takes the opportunity, as he did in New Hampshire, to tell the story of his father, who immigrated to the U.S. from Cuba and took a job washing dishes for 50 cents an hour (his father later became a small-business owner and is now a pastor).
“If we had come in and made the minimum wage $2 an hour, you know what would have happened?” Cruz asked the moderator. “They would have fired my dad and they would have bought a dishwasher.”
He’s a big fan of the Keystone XL Pipeline
Ahead of the midterm elections last fall, Cruz penned a column in USA Today outlining 10 priorities he believed a Republican-led Congress should focus on in 2015. At the top of the list was a pro-jobs energy agenda — starting with the Keystone XL pipeline.
“A Republican Congress should immediately help Americans get more jobs by embracing America’s energy renaissance,” Cruz wrote. “This means passing legislation to make it easier to build energy infrastructure, such as the Keystone pipeline.”
Small-business groups have largely lined up in favor of the controversial pipeline, which would create a network capable of transporting oil from Canada to the Gulf of Mexico. Most Republicans are behind the proposal too, earlier this year pushing a measure to complete construction of the project through Congress. Obama vetoed the legislation, arguing that its environmental harm would likely outweighs any economic windfall.
He’s not such a fan of the Ex-Im Bank
On the economic policy section of his campaign Web site, Cruz touts several actions he has taken to try to get the the economy back on track. Not surprisingly, the first item mentioned is that he led the charge to dismantle Obamacare.
Next on the list? His attempts to eliminate the Export-Import Bank.
Not widely discussed outside of Washington, the Ex-Im Bank, as it’s often called, provides relatively low-cost financing to foreign buyers of American products and services. It’s programs are meant to make American goods more attractive overseas, helping U.S. companies export. However, there’s debate over whether those programs support small or large businesses.
Cruz is firmly in the latter camp.
“The Export-Import Bank is big businesses’ big-government bank backed by U.S. taxpayers,” Cruz wrote in another column last year. The agency’s current charter expires in June; without renewal from Congress, it will be eliminated.
That wouldn’t bother Cruz, who added: “There’s nothing inherently wrong with big businesses … but they don’t need special handouts from government.”
