Inherited from the past she eventually lie

This is a word that seems to have everything to please. It evokes the abundance, accumulation, wealth owned or coveted, power discrete, and condensed. It is not a chance that, throughout history, eventually speak of "treasure" to designate all that is precious, desirable, since the works of art to the feminine charms, passing by the archaeological remains. This term is still synonymous with inexhaustible reserves. Proust, in Sodom, written for example: "Madame Verdurin, under a cold appearance, cache of treasures of sensitivity."

It is true that the Treasury has, in the imagination, secrecy. It is not always visible, not immediately visible. Or even impossible to find. Between myth and reality, the great buried loot continue to feed nostalgic musings. Croesus, the Templars, Genghis Khan or Nazi leaders are supposed to, as hundreds of others, have buried somewhere in the huge fortunes. The location was forgotten, lost wealth, but clues exist. The hunt can begin.

We invented, with the "treasure", any other use of the same term. Designating the finances of the State, the public budget, but also the authority to collect the tax and manage public funds, you might think that this capital treasure is simply one homonym of the other. Between Treasury and short Treasury, there is no more than report between the "dog", celestial constellation, and the "dog", animal barking. Were indeed, the Romans is not used, as we do, one word for these two senses. Thesaurus, the "treasure" in latin, means held wealth and is by extension for the gathering of valuable information. But public finances, the usual term is "aerarium.

Accept this breach would be a mistake. The single word indicates a deep relationship between the two meanings. It only appears to measure, because sign changes prevent the track from outset. Instead of being hidden, the Treasury is visible. Instead of being secret, it is transparent, recognized, verified by the Court of Auditors. Instead of symbolize abundance and richness, it evokes the difficult arbitrations and the management of the shortage. To understand what it returns, the crisis made us do just that.

Today, indeed, from Treasury, more nothing is accumulated, except deficits, towering debts and the Awakenings. Instead of being synonymous with gathering, aggregation, Treasury is marked by dispersal, losses and expenses without merits. This is no longer the power and the approval which are attached to it, but the inconvenience and impotence. Where real or formed, former treasures possessed something reassuring, ours is struck the seal of the concern. This is more than the name, ironic and misleading, lack.

The link between the two is therefore, but as a reverse symmetry. Everything which relates to the Treasury, in the language of every day, now reversed when it comes to the Treasury in economics. The contrast is so complete, the opposition term to term if full there well draw the consequence. Treasury, to refer to public finance, is today an antiphrasis. This treasure is pure illusion. The word is only a screen, a decoy or a mirage. The reality he designates is a huge and increasing debt.

This is an appellation that works in reverse. She continues to say the opposite of what it has become. Inherited from the past, she eventually lie. Should put an end to this hypocrisy. The expressions "public debt", "Inspector of the debt", or "many of the debt" would be more accurate than those of today. In any case, as long as the deficit will not filled, so long as the Treasury will not correspond to the meaning of this addictive Word. It may take some time.
