You know, I just can't take the current Danish government and their 2020 plan seriously. For several reasons, not least being that the current government has gone from scandal to scandal and is probably not going to win the election we're going  to be having sometime within the next six months, come hell or high water - which means that it feels like an awful lot of work is being put into something that will probably last for all of five minutes past election day, but then, maybe that's just me.

The main thing that annoys me, though, is the constant preaching that we need to "save, save, save" - I mean we probably do, but seriously? Why? For tax cuts? This isn't America, folks, only about a quarter of the population wants those - the rest have a finely honed instinct that reacts to the word tax cut with the question of "right, what are they taking away this time?", because this is a tax-funded welfare state. Less taxes equals maybe having to pay for going to see the doctor? Nurses getting fired? Schools not getting renovated for 117th year in a row? Who wants that? Seriously?

Besides, they aren't even serious about wanting to save money - if they were, why want to spend millions (and stir up a full-scale diplomatic crisis) with all this border nonsense? Because the bitch queen says so? (Which is another reason why I want the election to come sooner rather than later - I want the political party that is so far right that it's not even remotely funny anymore to have its arse kicked. A lot.) Or the fact that while everybody has to work for more and more years before getting to retire, for God's sake don't even suggest that members of parliament maybe shouldn't get to retire years before everybody else!

And now - in the holy name of "save, save, save" - they'd very much like to cut St. Bededag. Just typical. Dear government, go away. Sooner rather than later. På forhånd tak.
