   The conundrum remains – in the PRIORITIZATION of Funding for Public NEEDS.
   WHY personal experience abdominal major surgery in an INNER Budapest Hospital – private & public, that overall was like being in for 12 days a 3rd World Hospital.
   Hungary – like Education the NEED of Investment into the Public Health system Hospitals and all the componentry that comes under the RESPONSIBILITY of a Government in the Health of its Citizens – is seriously overdue, in being up-dated to represent that we are in the 21st century and not the 19th century.
   This present Government, its PRIORITIZATION of Funding off-set, has been a cataclysmic disaster, which leaves us in a WORSENING position as a country in PUBLIC Health – Hospitals and “other” in the same NEGLECTED investment as is the factual picture with EDUCATION – that sees us as a country NEEDING billions of forints to bring us up to standards of the 21st century.
   Trams up-grade especially what is running presently on lines 47,48 and 49 – 1970’s built by Ganz – and on “other” lines of the same vintage – we NEED modernization extension of our running fleet, but its PRIORITIZATION and HUMANS must be first Hospitals & Education as examples over Trams.

   The MODERNIZATION – the PUBLIC needs I refer in my commentary – the billions of forints NEEDED – where are we as a country going to OBTAIN or FIND – this type of MONEY – that will bring us into the 21st century?

   WHO are GOING to be our Bankers?

   There is no reason why they can’t design a low floor tram that has the same charm and character as the old ones instead of a snake slivering though the neighborhood and rip out the classical amenities that made Budabest one of the most beautiful cities in the world. I especially love the towering light poles that focus on traffic – forget the human pedestrian scale,
