    The People’s Party for Freedom and Democracy (VVD) calls for cuts totalling €24bn to ‘rebuild’ the Netherlands

    'Student grants and fines for slow students to be scrapped' now that would be controversial over here!

    Well at least they seem to have agreement and have a lot of decent proposals rather than the broad sweeping statement made over here:

    I'm delighted to see that the netherlands are in €24 billion debt.
    Know why ?



    because this means they won't be getting rid of weed for tourists.

    The Dutch never entered recession and their economy has remained very stable, with very low unemployment rates and high export rates, and they won't have to go and borrow money to sort themselves out. They're also quite generally, very nice people.

    I'd say they're a lot less 'fúckéd' than we are, somehow.
