The president suggested reorienting social policy towards long-term goals. The "building of people" is determined not only by economic tasks, but also by the cumulative burden of structural imbalances. Population growth and internal migration place a huge burden on social facilities, many of which are already stretched to the limit. The problem did not arise yesterday. In the previous decades, it was customary to cover the mistakes and shortcomings of the public administration with an intensified increase in social assistance, that is, by corrupting citizens. State resources were simply dispersed: even well-to-do families received payments, while the lack of accessible schools and hospitals grew rapidly. This encouraged paternalism and the growth of dependent feelings in society, and provoked absolute abuse and corruption in the national insurance system. It must be clearly understood that an excess of unjustified benefits and payments indicates an institutional immaturity and even a weakness of the state apparatus, and a lack of foresight in guaranteeing a comfortable future for the people. Imaginary kindness to people at the expense of budget funds is real populism, which cynically covers all kinds of tricks directed against the interests of the people and the sustainable development of the country. This is the world view of people who live only one day at a time, who have no strategic vision, state thinking in the broadest sense of the word. Therefore, it is important to radically reconsider social policy, to redirect it from solving short-term problems to achieving strategic goals."
