The Dutch wasted billions upon billions. In the 80's if you were laid off as a postman, you didn't have to look for another kind of job. Same when someone worked in, lets say a greenhouse with paprika's and became allergic for the plants, he was deemed 'afgekeurd' (medically unable to work). I had a collegue who knew this and faked an allergic reaction, so he was 'afgekeurd' and did not have to work again, while he was a healthy 24 year old bloke. He could work as a postman, bus driver, any job you can imagine. But bcs he could not work in his original profession, he didn't have to accept any other job.
Many people abused the system and this costed tens of billions of euros. That is how dumb Dutch policies were! It has become better, but still there is a lot of these weird rules left.
The Dutch governments often did not look ahead and let their emotions get in the way of reason and logic.
Our last government with prime-minister Rutte has crippled our country and has caused crisis upon crisis! Our country is so much worse off than when he took office. So many people were crushed by his government, it is insane. I don't know how he can sleep at night, but he doesn't care. And it puzzles me how he can be a candidate as NATO leader, while he messed up so much overhere.
