Baby boom
The country is undoubtedly getting a royal kick up the ass with sweeping cutback reforms.
Many of these reforms cannot come a moment too soon in a country that has become decadent and bloated. A culture of welfarism and dependency is being narrowed in line with international standards, on the insistence of the EU, which is giving emergency funding to this country to keep it alive.
Everybody is aware of the child welfare-culture that is essentially funding a baby-making factory run by the State and the billions needed to fund those who are having children for economic reasons. It is high time this country engaged in prudence, and time for people to govern their procreation habits.
