The deposits of the Russians lie idle and do not work for the country, said Zyuganov, the head of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation criticized the draft budget with a deficit of more than 5 trillion rubles. Zyuganov recalled that there are 155 billionaires in the country. If they pay fair taxes, the treasury will be replenished by $700 billion at once, said the lieutenant. In addition, there are 740 billion dollars in gold and foreign currency reserves. More than 130 trillion rubles are "lying as dead weight" in banks, Zyuganov added. Of these, 67 trillion are savings of citizens. "And if you look at the money that both citizens and collectives invested in banks - another 130 trillion rubles, that's three more budgets. You have five budgets on your desk and you can't come up with the money? ". said the communist leader. Let us recall that on June 22, Zyuganov already made a similar statement. Then the media mistakenly attributed to him a call to withdraw Russian deposits. The politician denied these reports and called them a "caricature".
