问：一个小县城，年财政收入不过区区三四亿，何以敢举债超7亿上项目？ 答：反正不是自己还债，怕什么！ 问：还有，像这样的大项目，为何能够轻易上马？ 答：应该是制度程序上有漏洞、有后门，能够被破坏掉。 问：可是，如今厂房只建了一半，博物馆直接"查无此馆"！项目逾期近两年，硬扛着7.6亿专项债，每 年收益还不够偿还当期的债务本息。谁来买单？ 答：还不是财政买单，老百姓买单。 问：如此举债上马项目，属于"敢闯敢干"吗？ 答：显然不是。真正的"敢闯敢干"者，属于改革探索者，是在为人民谋政绩。 问：那这究竟属于什么？哪里出了问题？ 答：当然是搞政绩工程、乱作为乱拍板，本质上是政绩观出了大问题，不是为人民出政绩，也不是以实 干出政绩，更没有谋划长远，为的是个人利益，搞政治投机、谋取私利。 #小县城举债超7亿建国际创投园# 问：一般来说，项目上马有环评、安评把关，那像这种"政绩工程"，是不是也该有一种"评"来把把关？ 答：照理说，应该要有，比如项目有没有收益？有没有风险？是该好好评评的。而且评了，还得管用， 不然，评了也是走过场。 答：这个倒是可以，不然有的人拍板花钱才不会心疼。 问：出了政绩工程问题，除了对责任人员追责问责 ...
