Objection

A group of prominent intellectuals and political figures are objecting to Calderón's economic plan on the grounds that it focuses too much on cutting spending, and not enough on providing aid to the groups hardest hit by the economic downturn. I've not heard a lot of comment like this about the budget, but it definitely seems more fiscally hawkish than what we've seen from other nations.

For its part, the Calderón administration insists that fiscal responsibility will not be achieved on the backs of the middle class.
