This note argues that in Mexico and Latin America some sectors of civil society still consider that the higher the public expenditure, the higher the economic rate of growth. It is argued that this action has only short term effects. Instead, it proposes to target the public expenditure to increase its effectiveness.

Policy lessons then include, among others, that fiscal discipline is a necessary condition for growth. Second, that public expenditure should be target where social return is higher, and that should be financed by permanent public revenue, that is based on tax revenues instead of non-recurrent revenues such as oil.

Palabras llave : gasto público; ingresos tributarios; ingresos petroleros; gasto social; déficit fiscal.
