The public pay

The public pay most during crises

From Koran Tempo

The country's life is indistinguishable from many difficult problems afflicting the state. Many catastrophes concerning economic, legal, social and political issues continue to prevail and have brought enormous suffering to the nation.

Unfortunately, it is always the general public who have to shoulder the burden and suffer the greatest hardships.

The fuel price hike, for example, will surely trigger an increase in the cost of other commodities, and again it will be the poor who are the hardest hit.
