The new philosophy of budget planning, aimed at the accelerated formation of state reserves, designed to serve as a "safety cushion", reducing investment from the outside, the growth of defense spending and the inefficiency of the state economy do not allow us to talk about the further socialization of public finances, forced to look for new ways to mobilize financial resources within the country to direct them to solving social problems. Social stratification in society seriously slows down the economic growth and development of the country, turns into an unattainable goal of Russia's entry into the top five economies of the world.
