Golden dust!

Remember this man?


I wrote about him not so long ago ( here )
The man in the picture is Anders Fogh Rasmussen, prime minister of Denmark.
Also in his own words a good friend of George W. Bush, president of the USA.

Good for you Fogh!

Now to the point, before the election in November, Fogh had already been Prime Minister for quite a while. And the results of that were clear to anybody - or so I thought!

Prices had gone up, quality had gone down, welfare had taken a drastic step down, there were more rich people but there were also more poor people.
All I have to say is, 90.000 children living in poverty in a country with just over 6mil people, that claim to be one of the richest countries in the world, THAT is not good enough!

It's been just around 2 months since the dude in the picture was elected to stay Prime Minister, and already people are wondering...

Why are prices on meat going up 50%? Why are prices on milk going up 25%? Prices on stamps 13 cents? (US dollars)
Why do the unemployed get less benefit?
Why do parents not get more child benefit?
And so on and so on...

Danes are paying between 37 and 63% in income tax and 25% in VAT.

Where has all the money gone you ask? In the pockets of the politicians and the rich people. That's where the money has gone.

Have they learnt - the people that voted to stick with the current government?
Doubtful.

It's one big price party. Prices on products go up. Soon the salaries will go up to compensate for the prices. And then the prices will go up once again because... well, people can afford it...
