The unknown illness of a Dutch prime minister.

What is going on in The Netherlands. The elderly people, especially those who are physically not very well have very hard times, got to pay for everything till their last euro. The state pension is going down and health insurance gets equal for rich and poor. That means that rich people have to pay as much as old people who have no real income. Inflation is low but the inflation on the state budget is very high.
The government can't do what they promised. For many people the promise a reality for years and suddenly a new cabinet with a first class sucker as prime minister and a scholarly recluse (from my dictionary) as his deputy.(compare it with Bush/Cheney)

I say do the things you're good at. I work for the local administration because that's where my heart goes and where I belong. Reliability is the key-word.

For the Dutch prime minister the key-words are ethics and values. And he brings them into practice in such a low and shitty way. Now he seems to have a virusinfection on a foot. Normal people are dismissed from hospital in 5 days maybe less. He will stay at lest a fortnight. Maybe his foot will be ampputated and he'll walk like the last nazi-chief in the Netherlands.
